Jackism's

I am going to have to start keeping a notebook with all the little things that Jack has started saying. That little boy sure can talk. For example:

Elecopter Fly! (this is in relation to the helicopter that he absolutely loves that his daddy accidently flew into the dog's water the other day. it no longer flies). Elecopter sleeping. Night night elecopter. Elecopter good sleeping.

Naughty, naughty, go Jack's corner, now. (points at the door) To this I respond, you aren't the boss of me (Just kidding).

He sat on the potty the other night and, though a little successful, asked for his "biaper on" shortly after sitting down and, once the diaper was on he said, biaper on, no potty, EVER, EVER, EVER (imagine a two year old shaking his fist, saying ever, ever, ever in a very determined way. it was pretty funny).

He says, with his chin on his hand, Hmmmmm. one two six. I have no idea what that means, but he says it often, so it must mean something to him!

Where Josh go?
My nummy on me.
I see sheeps at Grandma's house.
We go Henry house.
Mine numm numm.
Tippi down, Hugo no.
Da Baby's sleepin?

Every night, Ryan tells him a story about Jack the Bear and Henry the Raccoon (Sarah, I know Henry would like this rearranged, but I have no control) and Jack interjects his own thoughts about how he thinks the story should go. Apparently, storytime has become a bit of a production and might not be as calm an event as it used to be. Eventually the little boy sleeps, but it takes a lot longer then it used to!

So, that is that about Jack. Now, on to the little Annalee.

Annalee is nearly crawling. She balances on her knees and hands whenever she is on the floor. She seems to be taking her time with this whole crawling thing, though. My assumption is that she would much prefer to walk!

She has been doing great with her food consumption. She loves anything finger food related and would be a happy little camper if she was always allowed to just eat steamed peas off her tray.Fruit is always a sure pleaser, too!

This happy go lucky 9 month old is about as easy going a kid as we could ask for. This past weekend, Ryan brought both kids to his mom's house so I could have a weekend to go to the Basilica Block Party and relax. While home, he brought both kids to Stella Hartman's benefit (a little girl who's mom is one of Abbie's close friends. Stella has Leukemia). For nearly three hours, Annalee sat calmly in a stroller, people watching and chewing on toys, while Ryan chased his two year old, rambunctious son around the benefit.

Annalee's happy nature means we get tons of slobbery baby kisses, excited hand gestures whenever we walk into a room and hugs upon picking her up. She is absolutely wonderful and we are so lucky!

With that, here are some photos from the past couple days!

Jack can spell his name, just ask him!
