Copycat

Jack's really been a copycat these past couple of days. He loves to talk on the phone, which so far has been a spoon, ball, buckle, play keys and a cookie. Today I answered my phone while Jack was eating lunch, so Jack had to answer his "phone." Sometimes he even says "hi". While I was making dinner tonight I hear Jack shouting quite loudly at something in the living room. I go in there to find him yelling at somebody on his phone (which happened to be his play keys this time around.) I hope he doesn't think we shout at people on the phone.

Today Dan was sitting on the couch listening to music. Everytime he would point his remote at the stereo, Jack would do the same with his own battery-less remote. When Dan put the remote into his shirt pocket, Jack tried very hard to put his own remote into his pocket-less firetruck pjs.

He's also starting to say more. He mimics sounds I make all the time. Not necessarily words but sound effects. The other day he started to lift the lid off his diaper pale. I said "Jack, that's a no-no." He very vigorously shook his head while saying "dat no-no." He's really starting to grow up - and that's quite a comfort knowing that we could have a new baby around here in just a few weeks.
