Here is Jack at 50 weeks old…
(January 10, 2013)
Jack’s photo this week captures the exact moment when Jack tasted toilet paper for the first time. He had a splendid time playing with the roll…
Jack is learning some fun new things. He is attempting to learn to use a spoon, which as you can see leads to yogurt landing in his hair in large dollops…
He has also learned to clap…
The funniest thing is that Jack hasn’t totally figured out that we clap as celebration, though he does know it’s a good thing because his eyes light up and he grins. It’s adorable how often he claps now. My favorite clap is the one he gives when he’d like you to give him something. Clapping is his favorite gesture.
Jack has some very clear phrases of communication, like “What’s that?” followed by a point in some direction. This phrase actually sounds like “Uht dat?” We hear this question a lot and find ourselves wandering the house answering like this: “That’s a curtain. That’s a receipt. That’s a lemon. That’s a wine aerator. That’s a napkin..” It’s actually kind of fun. We have a very, very curious boy.
We love you our almost-1-year-old…
Just 2 weeks until his big day. What!?

Such a smarty! And so handsome!
He is precious! Hopefully, I spelled that correctly …. ; ) I’m clapping here !!!!
Thanks for your weekly updates – all fun to watch! Has Jack been learning any sign language yet? I think some of the basics to use with infants are “milk”, “eat/food”, “dog”, “cat”, “hungry”, “want”, etc. If you haven’t done so already, check out the baby sign language web sites…. Glad to know everyone seems healthy and happy with the progress!
