Jack is becoming a really little man, he is almost 39" tall. We're almost potty trained so just when Papa figured out the diaper drill he had to start dealing with poop in the cup--will it never end? Mean time, Jack has figured out some fairly complicated stuff on his own without being taught. Anytime we do something out of the ordinary he want to know what's going on. So that if Papa and Jack go for a walk and his mom's car is gone when we get home he want to know where she has gone and will offer his own ideas such as, "Mommy gone to work?"

He can spell his name and other simple words like car. He has his letters down and knows capital letters from lower case. He know the differences between a tugboat, container ship, jet ski, that he crosses the Ashley River and Cooper River to go to Mimi's house and that Mimi lives in Mt. Pleasant and he lives in Charleston. His vocabulary includes 'actually' and 'delicious'. When we go for a walk he says hello to Mr. Ted and the other neighbors. On walks he'll say, "Let's go left, Mimi!" and head in that direction. He runs so fast that Papa is in training to keep up.

Big boy beautiful baby Baker might be a little spoiled but that big smile of his makes up for when he fusses. He is a big strong baby who is about ready to start motoring around the house. Now that he is eating some solid food he sleeps good at night. He is so big it looks a little weird when he is nursing. Baker is about 28.5" tall.
