We arrived in SC safely and Jack was very excited to see MeMe. We had been practicing saying her name by looking at her picture before we left Dallas and she was thrilled he could say her name. She kept pointing to herself and asking "Jack, who's this?" and to her great delight he would always answer MeMe. He would also answer MeMe to any other question she asked him, but what can you do.





Meme's next door neighbors have two roosters in their backyard. They start announcing morning at about 4:30 AM. Did I mention I hate roosters!!! Jack, however, loves them. He awakes with a smile (at 4:30AM) and says doo or doodle. It is really cute. The Wiggles sing a song that goes Quack, quack, quack, quack, cock-a-doodle-doo..... and they move their arms up and down like duck wings and put their hand on their head for the rooster part. It is Jack's new favorite song and wants everyone to sing it and do the motions all the time.





Jackson experienced his first South Carolina peach and his first corn on the cob this week. He loves them, but still wants the peaches in the cup too. We went to the peach shed and got fresh peaches twice and made the best peach pie. We also made my favorite Southern dish- fried okra. Yummy! I am not going to fit into my clothes when I get back.





Jack got to meet his Uncle Virgil for the first time and he sure loves his "G" as he calls him. He also is loving his Aunt JoJo who has taught him to say VaVaVoom! His Mother's Day Out teacher is going to think he is the strangest child this fall. He has charmed my cousins Emmy and Cindy (CeCe) by saying their names and flirting with them. Uncle Buddy and Aunt Jenny think Jack is a sweet little boy too. Uncle Buddy bought Jack a blow-up pool for the backyard at MeMe's house. Jack liked it so much he immediately got in and pooped in it. Of course we had not taken the time to put a swim diaper on him yet. A few minutes and a few Lysol wiped later, it was good as new.





MeMe can't believe how much Jackson will eat. He ate his weight in samples on a Costco run and she is still talking about it. Jack will definitely let you know what he wants and does not want (sometimes very loudly). What happened to my little baby? He is such a toddler now. MeMe has told everyone how he says Amen after a prayer. She thinks her great grandson is pretty special. He loves his MeMe too!
