Teething and dirty diapers

Poor Jack. He has NEVER had the diarrhea diapers with teething. This week has been a new experience. He doesn't feel bad, but he lets us know when it hurts when we change his diaper. With his sad, pitiful face, he signs "hurt" to us. Like this, except, he did not have a smile on his face like this woman. It makes me so sad. He is bouncing around the house and doesn't even let me know when it happens. I changed 5 horrible diapers today. The kind where I want to just put him in the bathtub. Poor dude. I am hoping he will get better soon, or we might miss an exciting time at a birthday party on Saturday. I just don't want to expose little ones if it is not teething. However, he has a great appetite (I am limiting a lot right now) and he is his normal bubbly self.

The last two weeks, I was noticing that he was recognizing some numbers. I wasn't as direct when asking him to tell me the numbers on toys. (As you know from videos of the Alphabet...which I think he knows them all now) Tonight, we were playing with a stacking cake set. They have numbers on them, the stars on each layer match the number on the side. It is a fantastic toy from his sweet cousins. See the toy here. I like links tonight. He proudly told me each number as we stacked them. I couldn't believe it. When did this happen? So, we practiced like 5 more times because I just wanted to hear his sweet little voice exclaim each number.

So, he knows his shapes if I ask him to point to a certain shape out of a group. He can't pronounce them yet. He knows all his letters and numbers 1-10. I am one proud mama!

Well, here are some photos of our playtime this morning. I think this window photo is one of my favorites!

Jack did not have eyebrows when he was born. I think they are here now! This face is cracking me up. What in the world?!? :)

He is getting so big!!

Looking for birds. I LOVE the feeling of this early morning scene.
