It all started around 13 months, and now new words are happening every day! Quite amazing. He had his 18 month appointment this week - weighing in at 27 lbs 14 oz, and he is now 34 1/4 inches tall. And you can hug and kiss Jack all you want - he's quite happy to return the affection, but what he really cares about are cars and trucks. Bugs are a distant second. His latest talents - walking backwards while saying "beep beep beep", walking on his tiptoes, walking with his knees bent, bouncing up and down, and spinning. Always entertaining, this one is! Stay tuned.
