20 Months

Happy 20 month birthday Stinky!

This past month has absolutely flown by. We changed things up a bit in your life- Mama went back to work and you hang out with Moe Moe and Bampa 3 days a week and go to school 2 days a week.

Looking back at how it's gone- and is going- you've been a real trooper. As usual! We knew you'd love hanging out with your grandparents- and you certainly do. From organizing your matchbox cars to heading to the library- they keep you very busy and you love it. School has also gone well for you. You still cry for a few minutes when we drop you off, but you cheer up within minutes and then really enjoy your teachers and your friends. We are so proud of you for being a big boy and enjoying this new adventure in your life.

There are other new things going on too. We put the high chair in the attic a few weeks ago and now you sit at the table like a big boy on your booster seat. I love looking across the table at your smiling face and doing "cheers!" with our glasses. Another big milestone is that we've put away your downstairs baby gate! You now know that you shouldn't go down to the basement, or up the stairs to your room without us. We can trust you to stay off the stairs when we're all downstairs together- and you love running the circle between the living room, dining room and kitchen! You're also getting really good at going up and down the stairs by yourself. As long as there's a railing nearby, you can do it all by yourself!

Independence continues to be the theme with you, Jack. You love picking out your shirt in the morning, getting Puppa's dog food, and walking around the neighborhood. We are amazed at how fast you're growing up. You look more and more like a little boy and less and less like a baby every single day. We love you all the time Baybo!

Love
Mama and Daddy-O
