13 months old
Weight: Jack weighs 24 ish pounds
Length: 32.25ish inches long
Wearing: size 4 Huggies diapers, 18 month clothes
Feedings: Jack drinks 25 ounces of milk a day. For someone who clearly likes to eat, I am still working on transitioning him to table food. Things I'd expect him to like, he won't even touch. Bring out a ham sandwich, though, and he's all over it. He still is not a fan like "wet" finger foods. There may be a slight improvement in that category.
Favorites: Jack loves to play chase. He laughs hysterically and tries his hardest to get away as fast as possible. lol. He loves to go into the big boys' room and play on their beds. He also is climbing all over everything. (Hence the falling on his head and no picture. Ahem)
Least Favorites: Not getting his way. Hate to tell you, Bud, but we all dislike that. Get used to it.
Issues: Other than the eternally teething, he seems to be doing just fine.
Personality: Jack has become quite the chatterbox. Of course, we have no idea what the heck he is saying. It is funny to hear him, too, because he says everything with such emotion. I am sure he's telling us all of the answers to the questions of the universe. I'm just not smart enough to understand what he's saying. ;)
Areas to work on: Jack is still mastering the fine art of walking. He hasn't yet taken the plunge and gone on his own. I am MORE than okay with him not walking. Jeez, I cringe at the thought of him being busier than he already is!
New Things: It's amazing to see how much he understands about what is going on around him. He starting to follow simple directions (come here, etc.) and is really interacting with his brothers in a fun way.
Randomness: Jack now has all of his teeth except his upper canines. Those teeth will likely be in within the next week. I cannot wait until this poor guy is done with teething. It has been a brutal month for him as far as teeth are concerned.

Some things Jack is expected to do: (milestones for thirteen months)
Mastered Skills (most kids can do)
- Uses two words skillfully - Hm. I guess I'd go with no because I think it wants something other than mama and dada.
- Bends over and picks up an object - yes.
Emerging Skills (half of kids can do)
- Enjoys gazing at his reflection - yes. He points at himself and makes his scrunched up nose face at his image. (I have no idea what that means!)
- Holds out arm or leg to help you dress him - yes. He is "helping" to some degree. He is also quite capable of not "helping" when so inclined.
Advanced Skills (a few kids can do)
- Combines words and gestures to make needs known - Yes and no. He is very good at getting his needs across. He will say mama and move in for a hug when he wants love. He does shake his head no, bat food away, and make a sound that is his version of no.
- Rolls a ball back and forth - Emerging. We've just started to do this. He'll do it a few times before he'll turn to throw the ball the other way. lol.
