Yes, it's true. There was once a time before you were born that I debated with your father about naming you "Jack." Even knowing the name's significance and loving the idea of naming you after one of our favorite men in the family (your great-grandfather, Mr. Jack Harris Veasey) it still didn't seem to fit. Fast forward to now and I truly can't imagine you with any other name. Jack fits your personality perfectly!
You are a 19 month old ball of energy that loves to keep your mama on her toes. From the time you wake up until your big hazel eyes close for "night-night" you are 100% full throttle. Not only do you like to keep mama's attention, we've recently discovered that you are quite the little show-off when friends are around. Some of your favorite tricks are walking backwards, flipping and jumping- all of which you will perform on cue. You love to make us laugh. You've also become quite the talker. Some of our favorite words you say are baw (ball), jooze (juice), noo-noos (noodles), bop it! (stop it!), dah-ee (doggie), wack-wack (quack quack) and lub-ooo (love you).
Currently, your favorite activities are throwing the baseball (no big surprise there considering you spend a lot of time at the baseball field watching your big brother), watching Micky Mouse while you eat breakfast, playing chase and peek-a-boo, and sneaking into your brother's room to destroy all of his Lego creations. You love to climb on tables, chairs and the kitchen island but your all-time favorite place to be is outside where you enjoy running and exploring the great outdoors.
You are obsessed with:
- dogs
- mommy and daddy smelling your stinky feet ("shooo-weee")
- baseballs
- coloring
- shooting Bubby's Nerf guns
- brushing your teeth (chewing on our toothbrushes)
- being tickled
- daddy throwing you in the air
You could care less for:
- mommy brushing your hair (Jack's motto: messy hair don't care)
- bath time
- people telling you bye (you cry when friends and family leave from a visit)
- going down for a nap
- snuggling
- brother when he locks you out of his room
We are having a blast watching you change and develop into such a cute little boy (I mean, those curls are just too much) with so much charisma. You entertain us from sun up to sun down. Your energetic, passionate and vivacious personality is such an adventure. We are so thankful to have you!
Love,
Mommy
