These are a few of Jack's favorite things...

February was a busy month for our little family but there's no way I can cram it all in one blog, so lucky for you, I won't try.  But I have to mention the the highlight of our frantic February was that Jack got to spend 5 days with my family while Christian and I had work in LA and Vegas.  It was strange to be in separate cities like that but Jack had a blast with his Mimi, Papa, Uncle Jess and Aunt Donna who all pitched in to watch him.  He also got to see his cousins Marseille and Amelie which is always great fun for him.  I'll have to post those pics another time.

While we were in Cali, Jack turned 19 months!  He continues to keep us on our toes and he makes us laugh every day.  It just amazes me how much he learns on a daily basis - his vocabulary is huge now and he can count to 10!  He actually just moved up to the Early Pre-School class at school.  He moved up a few months early so he could go with all of his buddies so he was a little shy at first but now he loves it.  I can't believe he's such a big boy!  But he's still very sweet and affectionate.

Right now Jack is really into "things."  He's very aware of what is his and loves getting new things.  Whenever we buy him something new, it's all we can do to pry it out f his hands by bedtime.  The other day he slept with a car in each hand.  So I thought I would share with you a few of Jack's favorite things....and people! 

CARS and ROLLER BAGS....this one serves a dual purpose because Jack is slightly obsessed with cars and any other type of transportation...buses, big trucks, fire trucks, bicycle's and my personal fave, abadance (aka, ambulance).  Jack also loves our roller bags and pulls them all around the house.  So Mimi and Papa bought him this Cars roller bag at Target.  He LOVES this thing and insisted on rolling it through the airport on our way home...even though it added another 15 minutes to the trip.  Isn't it the cutest...



BOOTS...Auntie Jenny bought Jack a new pair of rain boots for Valentine's Day and he didn't take them off the entire trip even though they were a little big and made him fall!

Notice the boots and roller bag combo here.  We let Jack dress himself to take a walk in our hotel in West Hollywood. Gotta love his style!

MARSEILLE....my sister and I always talk about how complete we feel when we are all together, like everything is right in the world.  Jack absolutely adores spending time with his cousin Marseille...

 ....and I think the feeling is mutual!

DAVIS...Jack's best friend at school who he affectionately calls Dabis.  And Davis always calls him Jack Jack!  They have been BFF's since they were in the infant room together and their bond has grown over this past year.  The teachers have always gotten a kick out of them because the are inseparable...like Batman and Robin.  We had the first, of what I suspect will be many, play dates over the weekend and the kids had a blast!

I think Jack might have a small crush on Davis' big sister Lauren too. He even gave her one of his coveted Dum-Dum's!

DADDY...I would be remissed not to put Daddy on Jack's list of favorite things.   As hard as it is, I had to finally admit that Jack is and always will be Daddy's Boy!  But I totally get why Jack is so obsessed with his dad.....Christian is an amazing father and REALLY fun to be around.  He's just a big kid himself so he plays with Jack non-stop.  These two can have fun anywhere!

They spent 30 minutes playing in the water fountain at the Forum...

And here's what Jack looked like after 30 minutes!  I guess I should also mention that the kid loves WATER!
