Big. Strong. Boy.

Most of the picures we take of Jack now will be out of focus. He's a hard guy to catch holding still



After conquering the coat rack, Jack got an A+ at his 18 month doctor's appointment. He is 24 pounds and 32.5 inches. He is officially caught up, as this puts him at the 30th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height for an 18 month old. A preemie graduate!
Since we were "out" anyway, we tested the limits by going to a restaurant for dinner after the appointment. We ended up leaving with most of the food to go, and a big bump on Jackson's head where he walked into the table on the way out. Oh well, at least we tried. We attempted to hold a bag of frozen peas on his head when we got home. He promptly escaped and put the bag of peas in the microwave of the toy kitchen. His head is fine.

Big strong boy is right! Yeah Jack!!! I just LOVE the Charlie Brown shirt! Too cute! Everyone who sees this blog, has to blow up the picture of him standing next to the coat rack and see the little smirk on his adorable face and those big brown eyes! Now this guy, my friends, is the beginning of a lady-charmer. I know that he certainly melts my heart! Just a chip off the old block,. . eh Soren? It is no wonder that you cannot put the camera down when he is awake. And believe me, we ALL appreciate it.
And how cute of him putting the peas in the toy microwave. . too funny!

That shirt is FABULOUS! I love it!
Hey.. maybe the peas in the microwave says something about your choice in his menu at dinner. Could that be it? Now I have to go back and blow up the picture to get a real close up of your big guy!

I do so appreciate you taking the time to do all of this for us, Donna. I know it takes time.. but I just love it!!

Love you guys!
