Jack-Jack

Jack is 17 months old today?!

  

I can't believe our baby boy is 17 months already!  I haven't said much about our little man lately, so here's what's been up with our Jack-Jack...

*He weighs just under 24 lbs at his pediatrician visit last week and is 29.5 inches long, he's almost as big as his sisters were at 12 months!

*He still wears size 12 months in clothes, 18 months clothes swim on him :)

*He wears a size 4 1/2 wide in shoes which is bigger than his sisters who all have small feet (Lizzy wears a size 6 right now and she's three).  

*His favorite things to say are "Oh wow", "bye-bye", "mama", "mmma" (Emma), "nnna" (Anna), "lala" (Lizzy) and "da-da" (Daddy).  

*He is ALL boy, loves anything that looks like a car or truck and "vrooms" them on your arms or legs, floor, tables, anything that has a flatter surface.  

*He absolutely loves balls, anything that resembles a ball and throws them (including foods, cereal, blueberries, peas, etc.), he throws with his left hand, so we'll see if he continues with that trend as he gets older and begins to write!

*He can wave hi and bye, blow kisses, he knows sign language for all done, more, thank-you and please but his favorite form of communication is yelling and pointing at what he wants to which his sisters immediately react and get him whatever he is "requesting"!

*He loves sweets or any foods that are sweet.  His favorite foods are bananas, raisins and vanilla wafers.  

*He does not like meat of any kind, we have the no thank-you bite at our house and he fights us every single meal!  He has a peanut allergy, so he can't have peanut butter for protein, but luckily he loves fruit!!!  

*He recently learned how to "jump" and thinks it hillarious to jump. 

*He is a Mama's boy.  None of the girls were as attached to me as he is, but I do have to say I love it :)

*He is still an awesome sleeper, goes to bed at 7:30 up at 7:30.  Still takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap.

*He recently has decided he despises his car seat and screams and does stiff as a board when you try to get him in his seat.

*He, just like his sisters, loves to dance.  He loves Brit Nicole, Superchick, Barlow Girl and tobyMac!!!  I can often look back in the back seat and see him dancing away :)

The girls love their baby brother, they say all the time he's so cute and adorable, we think he's a keeper too ;)
