apple dumpling

Jack has been growing up so quickly. I look at this photo and think, "What? My baby's eating apples all by himself! I don't have to skin them, mash them, or even cut them up?" He sure grew up fast. It seems so cliche to say, but I seriously don't know where the time went.

Our little man has been learning so many new words lately and is beginning to form them into sentences. This morning he asked me, "Momma, Aya go nigh nigh?" (Wondering if Anna was awake yet.) Last week he found a AA battery in a drawer and said "In my choo choo." He had watched Bill replace the batteries in his train set about a week earlier. He's so smart already at 19 months!

Jack has been also learning how to pester his sister. He likes to swipe a toy she's playing with and take off running down the hall. Whether he's just being a little stinker, or if he really just wants her to chase him and play with him, we'll never know. It's quite humorous to watch though, until you have to break up a fight.
