Ciancio Family: June 2011

Another school year has come to a close and we have been spending our days with our little stinkweed. After school got out Jack and I flew up to Maryland for a week. Everyone enjoyed spending time with Jack and he was spoiled with love and attention :) While we were there we went to the Maryland Zoo, Jack got to see all kinds of "doooogs" (any animal to him is a "doooog"). He enjoyed waking up and playing with "Maeme" each morning (Maeme is how he says Gammy). Two mornings Jack woke up with no diaper on, the second morning I realized this when I heard him peeing on the floor through the netting of the pack and play. Saturday night while we were in Maryland there was a surprise party for my Uncle Steve. Jack had lots of fun, he got to play with a few kids his size and all the adults loved seeing him as well. He did get a little jealous when he saw me holding baby Lyla (my cousin Andrea's little girl, she is about 2 months old). We went for a wagon ride around Maeme and Pop Pop's neighborhood, Jack really enjoyed the wagon. On Monday we tried a little pool party for Jack, he was a little unsure of it. He would be find one minute then cry the next and nothing had changed.
Since we have been home we have been spending lots of time together working on manners and parts of the body. Jack can say please and thank you :) We are also working on saying no thank you, which he has said a couple times but not regularly. He is coming around on please, for about a week he would cry every time we asked him to say please. As for the parts of his body he can point out and say the following: nose, eye, ear, tooth, head, belly, and toes. We are working on knee. Just about every morning our day starts out with eating "boo boos" which you probably know better as blueberries. Jack loves them. I think they have replaced bananas as his new food obsession. Here are a few pictures of our stinkweed :)

This one is from November but super cute and I just uploaded it to the computer :)
