Jack is getting so good at "walking" with his toy! He has also taken a few more steps. I think he has a tooth coming in! Yesterday we went to the Children's Museum with Aunt Margaret and cousin Sean. Jack loved the water part and the baby part of the Jungle ( I think that was what it was called?) I can't wait for him to walk so that he and do more things.

Today he "walked" with the "Sit, Stand, Walk" toy I bought him a while ago! He hasn't liked it so far. I don't think he felt confident enough. But today he did it and he was so proud! So, now he can walk a few steps on his own toward me, and can walk "by himself" with the walker....Yeay!
Yesterday Tina and Patrick came to visit and Jack was "sharing" his toys! I have been working with him on sharing. Meaning, having him give you a toy he is holding. And he did it! I am so proud of him! He also went to Castaways :)
I love to climb!!

Having the summer with Jack as been amazing!!! I finally feel like I "know" him. He is at such a fun age. He is becoming a "kid"right before my eyes! Even though I feel like he's still my little baby :) I love watching him turn into a little person. He is the best! He has an infectious personality! He is "always" smiling and happy. Although I don't want to jinx it, he is so "easy"! He seriously only "cries" when he needs something-like when he is hungry or tired. That is it! And even though he is crawling, he is not "into everything". He just sits and plays with his toys . (and talks to himself :) The only thing is likes to do is go into the bathroom. But as soon as I say "NO" he turns around, looks at me, and then crawls back to me with a huge smile! So far (knock on wood) he listens and obeys.
Let's fix this car together... Jack, look at all my cool toys outside!
" Mom, Jack has my toy!"
" Mom, Jack has my toy!" 7/27

Now I do it all the time!

Sleeping: usually about 7 pm-6:30am.
Naps: 9:30-11:30am
3:00 or 4:00 and he sleeps for about an hour.
Eating: so far, he will eat ANYTHING!!! He has 4-7oz bottles a day. Breakfast-oatmeal and fruit, Lunch-whatever I can find! We usally eat together/the same thing. Many times it's a veggie/black bean burger. Plus, I give him some jar food to supplement, Dinner-again, anything I can find/what I make myself for dinner. Or, he has the leftovers that John and I ate the night before. I usually give him something for him to pick up and eat by himself.
I have had so much fun gettting to "know" Jack over the summer. He has been at such a great age! He has accomplished and changed so much. He is amazing!
Oh, and I don't think he has stranger anxiety anymore ;) he is very good with everyone he meets. I just got scared because he sometimes follows me around the house. But over time I realized 1) he loves me and knows that I provide him with what he needs 2) he only does that when he needs something :)
