Here's what 20 months looks like in the life of Jack Finn:
Weight: around 25 lbs - ish
Length: no idea, ha! Tall?
Other updates:
Jack got his first real full-on big boy hair cut this last month. And now, he looks a LOT less like my baby. I kinda like that he still uses a pacifier and wears diapers because it reminds me he's not a BIG, big boy yet.
But based on his vocabulary skills and other smarts, it's tough to tell. He's speaking in full-on sentences now. Even with his paci in his mouth, he gets the words out.
Just a few tidbits from the past couple weeks:
The other day I was getting dressed and I put on this shirt and Jack says:
"Nice shirt! Mommy is cute." bahaha
Then yesterday I am doing the dishes - obviously not paying well-enough attention to Jack, so he tells me, "Mommy, back here, right now! Pwease." hahah. At least he was polite in his demands.
He talks in third-person a lot calling him self Jack Bean, which has been my nickname for him since he was itty bitty. Yesterday my parents arrived for their visit and he was so excited to see them that when they were coming to the door he ran from the kitchen to the living room and told himself, "Go, Jack Bean!" It was super cute and funny.
His ability to form sentences is just astounding to me for his age. I know, this has seriously turned into a blog where I brag about my son's language skills, but I am a proud mama and I have to share.
The other day we were watching Dora the Explorer and he says, "Look! Dora is going to wake up the sleepy sun."
Not even kidding, he said that.
Counting... he used to be really into counting. I think I mentioned last time he was counting up to 15. But lately he really only wants to count to 4. I know he can go higher, but I don't push it. He's been like this with words too. In fact, one of his first words was Newton - the name of our dog. But now he calls him Tuny. lol, I have no idea why especially since he used to say it correctly. But that's fine. I just love watching him learn and progress at his own rate.
Other cutes:
Loves calling Grammy on the phone. "Hello (sounds like Hey-o), Grammy. It's Jack Bean." LOL.
Anytime he picks up a pen or something kind of long he points it at you and says, "presto!"
He's pretty bossy with the animals. Yesterday we were outside and he kept yelling at Newton: "tuny, back here! Come here!"
He LOVES building forts with daddy.
He dances to all the songs. Loves Itsy Bitsy Spider.
His favorite outside game is "bisbee" aka Frisbee.
He loves going on walks sans stroller. I blame Halloween.
He's obsessed with anything flying in the sky. "Copter! Flying in the sky!"
He is getting pretty good at jumping.
He likes to "help" with laundry. Lol
He also is very interactive with shows and games. He loves playing the "melmo game" on my iPad. I have two Sesame Street, Elmo games. They are so perfect for him.
He really only likes shows that are interactive - asks the kids to help find something or how much or something.
If the show's characters ask for help, Jack always says, "of course!" It's so funny.
He's getting sooo good at his colors. He's right probably about 65 percent of the time. He also knows pretty much all your basic, farm, domestic and jungle animals. lol. He still has his shapes memorized.
He's also started memorizing books and will recite the words as I am saying them. That really took me by surprise. It started with "Chick Chicka Boom Boom," but we also have this bug book he loves. The last line is "Do you see me?" and as I was reading it, he totally said it almost before I even read it. Crazy kid.
He's starting to show an interest in the potty, but I'm not pushing that. I got him his own, but just so he can use the next few months to get used to the idea. I'm really not looking forward to potty training. Oiy. Paci use is still high these days. No idea how I'm going to tackle that. The more I think about doing it, the more attached he seems.
He's sleeping about half the night in his bed and half the night in ours. It works for us for now. I'm terribly sad about it, but he's really not into babywearing anymore. I am so bummed because I loved it, but he's just getting to independent. Guess I'll pack them away for baby #2 for now. No, not pregnant. lol.
Anyway, I guess that is enough bragging on my kid for today. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!
P.S. I didn't promote my last post, but seriously if you ladies out there are as obsessed as I am about the dark lip colors this season, check out this post.
