Perfect little Pumpkin....
Gambi and her little pumpkin!
Well- I am a little late on this post but all with good reason.... Boy have we been busy! My mom came in town for Halloween and Jack had such a good time with his Gambi. She taught him to say her name and he says it over and over. :) We really enjoyed our visit and Jack loved the extra hugs and kisses. I got a few action shots on my camera but when mom sends me hers I will post them too because they are even better. Jack loves giving out hugs and kisses now and will even ask you for a few. Gambi went trick or treating with us and then we came home and passed out candy. Jack did really well and although didn't care about getting any candy he loved looking at everyone's pumpkins... (Or punkin as Jack would say...) He also loved it when the owner had a puppy inside. Those were the houses we had to bribe him away from. He loves puppies! I must say I had the cutest pumpkin around! He was so good and even kept his hat on for awhile! We did come home with a hole in our panty hose but I seriously doubt my little boy will be wearing those again anytime soon! He did get called such a beautiful little girl 2 times and while Daddy wasn't too excited Jack and I didn't mind. He likes being pretty but maybe it is time for another visit to the salon. :) Gambi went shopping with us while she was here and bought Jack a new radio and a big boy potty. He likes to play with it for now as ELMO is on the front. Gambi cooked her famous chicken and rice which was my request and we all loved the great dinner! Jack is a fan so it will be a continued item in our house. :) We were very sad for her to leave and enjoyed our short visit. We can't wait to see her again soon! Thanks Gambi/Mom for coming! We miss you already! Ok- so now to explain Japin... Let me start by telling you Jack has developed quite a vocabulary. He loves to chat and talks about all sorts of things... We can make out the meaning of certain phrases but I am not sure if everyone else would be able to so I have developed a quick reference guide for you...
Japin=Jack Man
Hold you=Mommy/Daddy Hold me
Bone= Phone (Which Greg and I commonly say now even in public wo Jack)Happened?=What is this mark on my leg/arm (insert whatever here)
B=Blanket
T=Television
Booberries=Blueberries
NO=Could mean yes or no depending on the action associated but is said often
Calr=Color and this means he wants to color immediately
Yucky=Anything on the floor that should not be there (fuzz, dirt, leaves)
Wash=I want to wash my hands right now
Cean=Clean
The rest of the words are pretty self explanatory so I won't go into them all.
Every day every second I am reminded of how much I love this little boy.
*I love the way he looks at his own picture and smiles the biggest smile and says "JAPIN!"
*I love when he constantly says "Hold you" because he wants me to squeeze him.
*I love when he points at his leg or better yet a blemish on my face with a very concerned look and says "Happened?"
*I love how he says "WOW" to anything I do out of the ordinary and is so fascinated by the little things, new things or anything Greg or I do.
*I love to watch him get so excited about coloring a page in a coloring book.
*I love how attached he is to his "B"/blanket and how he needs to have it to sleep.
*I love when he looks at pictures of Greg and I and gets a warm smile on his face when he says "Mommy" or "Daddy".
*I love how excited he gets when he sees me walk in the door every day.
*I love how excited he gets every morning when he gets to come snuggle with Greg and I.
*I love it when he plays chase with Greg around the house and you can hear him giggle with excitement 4 rooms away.
*I love how excited he gets about bubbles at bath time.
*I love how when he looks in a mirror he acts like he has just seen the most amazing and beautiful person in the world.
*I love how he freely gives kisses and asks for them from Greg and I.

*I love how he lays still when you change his diaper just to move like lightening as soon as you take it off.
*I love how he tells you when he is "tee teeing or poo pooing" but won't get on the potty first yet.
*I love how he likes to help me clean and he says "Cean" over and over.
*I love the way he hold my neck so tight and asks me to rock him before bedtime.
*I love how excited he gets when Daddy is on his way home or when he sees him at the door.
