I digress.
Jack is...well...Jack. He is more intelligent that I think a 1 year old should be, has the most impish and testing looks, and understands what we say to him--though sometimes I think he "pretends" not to understand because it is convenient.
His new things:
1. wants to wear a tie every day--in pjs, playing, and regular clothes
2. only takes one nap--but does so regularly and it usually lasts 2+ hours in the afternoon
3. sleeps in a toddler bed and doesn't get out until he wakes-up
4. loves his Pooh Bear
5. doesn't know how to be soft with Naughty--we have to put her away sometimes because we worry about her little ribs snapping
6 LOVES Naughty kitty
7. LOVES books and will sit by me in the morning when I read scriptures and look at his own books
8. eats all by himself with a spoon--I don't have to do anything anymore SO awesome
9. gets his shoes and runs to the door when we tell him we are going outside (poor guy...because I have been sick he has been cooped up with me)
10. kicks a ball better than mom (but mom still throws better than he does)
11. graham crackers are his favorite treat
12. likes to hide mom's phone where she can't get to it (I am not supposed to lift things...so moving the fridge and couch are out-of-the-question until dad gets home)
13. is the cutest little boy who now will run to give mom and dad hugs, sit on their lap, and snuggle (FINALLY)
Here are some recent pictures:
Remember what we made people for Christmas? Well, we didn't get them all delivered because of Jack being fussy and me getting car sick...so we had them laying around...and Jack found one. It was a caramel and dark chocolate covered hot chocolate spoon. Pretty sure doctors would have frowned upon this indulgence for a 1 year old.
No, this isn't Jack. And yes, I have had a good excuse for being lazy for the past three months. And yes, I am still planning on sending out Christmas letters...more like Valentines letters now...

I was reading that post and thought to myself it was sounding an awful lot like being pregnant. So exciting!!! Congratulations :) jack looks like so much fun! And I still think him and Charlotte are pretty well suited for each other....
Ooh! Congrats girl! I thought the same thing Megan did! I hope you're feeling well!
fun post. i love it when their little personalities really start to emerge. cute pictures of jack (and you!). i am starting to see more of danny in him, but i still think he looks a lot like you. wish we could see the little man in person! miss you guys!
So, so cute! And I so wish you were here (or we were there) so I could squeeze him! Sorry you're feeling poorly, but am excited for Jack to have a little sib to torture :) How does Naughty feel about Jack? You know Danny's first word was "Ki-y!"
Jack is adorable! He must make you laugh so much. Thanks for those new pictures to make us smile. Sorry you feel so punk.
Love,
Grandma Hoffman
Yay for my favorite little story-book partner ;-) I am still determined to visit one day and take him up a hill, just so I can say we did! Can't wait to hear more about little brother or sister.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I love you and MISS YOU!
Oh, I love all those pictures of Jack! Holy cow, in that picture of him sitting in the bins, I did a double take... I don't know quite what I was seeing, but I think it was you and Danny in turns. He is definitely your kid! :) Fun to see how he changes as he grows up. He sounds like he has so much energy - I'd love to be able to watch him in person for a day. He sounds so fun! And he cracks me up in the pictures with Naughty Kitty. :)
Love you guys! And hope you get feeling much better really soon!
I'm going to be terribly honest right now. This post makes me very sad. I miss you three. Ahhh. Why do you have to live so far away? Why would you do that to me? (I guess you can turn that question around on me though, right?) Jack sounds like a midget with a plan. He's thinking about stuff. I can't believe he's already in a toddler bed! Oh how he's grown.
