Jack... wow!

I have so much to catch up on... and I'll get there... but first a quick story that just completely AMAZED me!  We were at the pediatrician's office last week (poor Jonathan had his circumcision) and I was trying to entertain James and Jack (plus distract myself from Jonathan's screaming) so I asked Jack to point to the E on the vision chart.  You can imagine my complete amazement when he turned around and pointed directly to the E!!!!  I figured it must have been a complete coincidence so I asked him to point to the O... and lo and behold but he pointed directly to the O!!!  Thinking that I must be completely insane, I asked Jack to point to the P.  Initially he pointed to the Z, so I said: "No, the P." so he pointed to the P!  The next 2 letters he couldn't find and he got bored with the game so we moved onto something else but I was so amazed that Jack was able to recognize a few letters!!!  I still don't know if it was complete luck but, regardless, I am completely amazed that Jack was able to identify those letters at just 21 months!!!
A little more Jack bragging... Jack has been talking up a storm this past month!  He is saying just about everything and loves to mimic anything he can (yikes!).  He is beginning to put 2-3 words together and can explain just about anything to you with his limited words.  I love being able to communicate with Jack so much more easily and love hearing what he has to say (most of the time!).
Off to bed for me but I had to take a few minutes to share that amazing story!  More to come soon! (Hopefully!)  :-)
