Mobile dinner...

Jack is starting to find his voice. And apparently, he found it in a wind tunnel because he can get LOUD. Seriously, astoundingly loud. I called my sister Mary Ann and said "I think I have a loud child..." She laughed and said "Are you really surprised?"

We think some of it has to do with his frustration about wanting to communicate but not having the words. He continues to surprise us with his ability to get his message across. The other day, while in his high chair, he was verging on a major fit pointing across the room and SuperSlow Daddy finally figured out that Jack was pointing at a sippy cup waaayyyy across the room. Himself was thirsty and his caretaker hadn't figured it out! Jack immediately reverted to sweet and happy mode when I finally figured out what the deal was. Now it has become a bit of a Sherlock Holmes game for me - what is it that Jack is trying to say?

The flip side is that we are now asking more of him since he's demonstrated a higher level of understanding.

These photos involve a particularly loud night when Jack wanted to get down from his high chair but had not had enough food. Not so sure this had to do with the inability to communicate as much as boredom with his current surroundings.

So Jeff improvised and moved dinner to the stairs. As you can see, Jack loves dining al fresco!
