2 and a half years old

i can't believe that my little bitty baby

is 2 1/2 today!!

in one year he has changed so much...

not just looks but personality, language, being more independent, eating a little better, and much more

he is seriously the best thing in the world! we find ourselves laughing at almost everything he says. he is so funny and smart! i just really can't believe what all he knows and how much he is talking. i wish i could video him all day to let you know what all he says all day. he falls asleep like a champ in his big boy bed and so far he stays in it all night and waits for me to get him out in the morning! he will still wake up in the middle of the night some and we will have to go in and either find a pacie or rub his back for a second. he takes a great 1.5 - 3 hour nap everyday (yay!) and he stays in his bed until i get him out. i am so proud of him and what a great little boy he has become. he is (usually) very polite and cares for others (most of the time). when johnny burps he says "you ok daddy?" so sweet! we love him with all of our heart and want him to stop growing up so fast!!

to celebrate his half birthday today i let him tell me what he wanted to do and he picked the mcwane center! so off we went to have fun with the rest of the kids in alabama!! we always pick field trip days!! (but thank goodness for the kindergarten and under areas)

things jack is really into now:
* trains, trains, and more trains!
* anything with wheels
* naming all of his cars, trucks, and trains (he makes us name them but he can remember their names)
* easter eggs (but he wants candy in all of them)
* buzz lightyear
* chasing pete and hugging pete (pete is starting to love it though...he actually asks jack to play with him now...he just barks at him until jack chases him)
* the ipad
* still has the same favorite food and is still pretty picky (but will try things every now and then...he likes grilled chicken now)
