Night Night...

We've recently transitioned Jack from two naps to one, and while overall the switch has gone smoothly, sometimes he gets a little sleepy around when his morning nap would have been. So, last week I put him in his bouncy horse (which he hadn't been in for months) and he was having a jolly old time, so I left him there for a couple of minutes. I got a little nervous when I didn't hear any bouncing, and when I peeked in I found him sound asleep. Needless to say, I had to wake him up, which he wasn't very pleased about. He got his second wind though, and made it through lunch before laying down for a nice long nap (in his bed this time)...

Big Day






I know it's been ages since I made a post, but yesterday was definitely a blog-worthy day! Jack said his first word - or rather words...he pointed to JoJo and very clearly said, "hi kitty." I was so surprised to hear real words come out of his cute little mouth, and he seemed equally surprised that he had spoken. It was a very exciting mommy moment. His second word came in the evening, when he said "Gramma" to my mom on the phone.

Talk schmock says Jack. The best part of the day was the sprinkler park!!! After storytime at the library and a lovely picnic with Mandy & Gwen, Jack discovered what may be his absolute favorite place on earth. He elbowed his way in amongst all of the bigger kids, and even went back for more after wiping out face first on the pavement. I'll let the photos (courtesy of Mandy) speak for themselves, but I feel sure that we'll be making lots of trips back to the sprinkler park this Summer!
