We've gotten into the sixth week at home with Jack and things are really rollin' now. Jack has started picking up words everywhere. At first everything was either a cah (car), a daw (dog) or papa (even mama was papa) and even though I'm still papa, now Jack has more than 25 words he can mutter. Granted, most of them only we can understand and several words sound like other words, but at least he's getting the jist of speaking the language! He's also starting to understand how to play with toys the way they were intended to be played with. Up until this week we had to really get in there and show him a ton of stuff - totally understandable but very exhausting as his attention span lasted all of (literally) 2 seconds. This week he's started understanding the point of books and has spent a bunch of time going through pages and "reading" through it. It's still a work in progress but it's progress and we are thrilled. Jack jabbers constantly and decides all the time that he wants to pray... (hopefully he's praying for us!) He'll squint his eyes and want to take our hands and then says "stuff" some of which sounds like 'Jesus'!
Jack turns 21 months next Tuesday. Time is really going fast. Before we know it we'll be planning his birthday party!

Jack is learning the English language and learning to pray; a valuable lesson to learn so young. He is doing great as I knew he would with you and David! Please give him a kiss from “Mrs. Salty”.
It's wonderful that Jack is learning our language and learning how to pray. This is really cute.. He is really getting big.. Can't wait to see him some time in the future.
