Blowing out birthday candles...and his nose!

Jack develops more of a personality every day. He is also getting more stubborn as well. He likes things a certain way, and definitely lets you know when he's not happy. He has been jabbering non-stop and I have to admit, it's really entertaining. He is on the cusp of making total sense but right now, his language is somewhat of a mix between Latin and Norwegian. 
Jack's favorite words/phrases:
- Hi Daddy!
- Mama, Mom, Mommy
- Daw no (Doggie no)
- Papa (my Dad)
- Nee Nee (my sister)
- Doway! (Go away)
-Hotttt
- NOOO NOOO
- Beebee (baby)
- I knooow!
- Uh oh
- Owwww
- Das (thanks)
- Deetledeetledeetle (we have no idea yet)
- Minga Minga Minga (No idea)
We went to an Italian restaurant called Cielo for my Mom's birthday. It's located in the Four Seasons hotel and has spectacular views of downtown. We all had a great time. The manager (who spoke with a strong Italian accent) took a real liking to Jack. Jack gave him high-fives and even danced for him. Although it's not a restaurant primarily geared towards kids, I felt like the staff tried hard to make Jack feel welcome. The waiter even gave him a monster truck to take home!

I like this picture of my parents




Sophie came to visit last weekend and I finally got a picture of my Mom with both grandkids. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but getting my Mom in a picture is not an easy task. By the way, Sophie got glasses and they are so cute!

Mark and Debi stopped by for a quick visit before Mark had to leave on a business trip. I think that Jack looks so big in this picture. It's hard to believe that he's only 19 months old!

I love adorable bathtub pictures.
Jack likes to put on other people's shoes and try to walk around. He also likes to pretend to blow his nose. He doesn't actually blow his nose, but he makes the sound with his mouth. Below are a couple of before pics and quick video of him doing it. 

Albert's 2nd Birthday

Jack and I went to Albert's 2nd birthday party a couple of weeks ago. They had pools, sprinklers, bubbles, a sandbox, and other fun kid things. Jack was exhausted by the end of the party, but he had a great time.

Jack had fun pushing this lawnmower around and eventually put it in the pool!
Jack climbed to the top of the slide and stood straight up with absolutely no fear- Uh Oh!

Say Uncle!

We had our annual farm party last weekend. Uncle Chal, Austin, and Austin's brother Daniel came into town for the festivities. Daniel plays the guitar and he thought Jack might enjoy playing a few notes.
Here are cute shots of Jack with his uncles over the past year and a half.
