Jack was really full of the proverbial P and V tonight. Recently he will have moments where he just gets caught up in the excitement of being alive and begins doing loops around the downstairs, giggling and running into things. Tonight was full of those moments. Nat and I sat on the couch laughing out loud for quite some time as Jack tore around the house, guffawing, saying "bye couch, bye door, bye book, bye dada, etc (Really, that is what he was saying, though to outside ears it may have sounded more like "die shosh, die do, die dook, die dada" It's a good thing we know what he means) He would wave at us and disappear, reappear and run past... He is hilarious when he runs, all big-belly and arms flapping every which way, a 27-pound bundle of enthusiasm. :)
Tonight he also learned how to sing "Happy Birthday." It was Melinda's birthday last week and we had a gift bag still out this weekend. Jack loves carrying around bags and was toting around this bag, putting things in the tissue paper and then digging them out. So I joined in the pretending and started singing Happy Birthday to him. He really got into it, and kept asking for more. By the 5th time through the song he was singing along: "ha--puh, ha-- puh, ha--puh..." etc. Too cute! After dinner, he kept up with the theme, by grabbing some our big pillar candles, bringing them to his mouth and "blowing' them out.
