Two and a Half Years

Jack is now officially two and half years old.

He is a very grown up boy these days.

It seems like in the last few weeks he's matured a lot.

He is throwing fewer tantrums.

He is a busy guy who likes to watch shows, play pretend, throw balls, drive cars, and help out Mommy and Daddy.

He loves going to nursery on Sunday - most kids get upset about going to nursery; he gets upset about leaving nursery.

He loves to eat grapes, popsicles, egg and cheese roll ups, and cheese, and he likes to drink juice.

He takes one nap a day, and still wakes up multiple times a night.

He has been talking up a storm.

He speaks more in sentences now.

He recognizes his feelings. When he's crying, he says, "I feel sad."

He's a great big brother. I trust him so much more around Luke now.

He loves to sing to "baby Ukey" and Luke will just sit and stare and smile at him.

He can identify his shapes and colors and is working on his letters and numbers.

He can count to two and will tell you that he is two years old and reminisce about his Mickey party.

He has big boy underwear that he'll wear occasionally, although he'll only tell you he has to go after the fact. One of these days he'll get it.

He loves to sing songs now.

Here are some videos:

In the first, he is singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" but he keeps getting distracted.

In the second, he talking on his play phone to Dad.

He is hopping and singing, "Popcorn Popping."

Luke is upset in the background, but listen closely and you can hear Jack's cute voice.
