Heh heh heh... uh, Mom, are you filming this?

Ah, Jack.
Jack Jack
Jack Jack Jack.

Caught in the act.

It is always advisable not to pull hair while Mommy is trying to get the Christmas photo.

So let's See. Jack:

• Jack knows camera flashes. If you hold a camera in front of Jack, he starts blinking over and over again. Before you take the photo.
  (Until he decides to charge you for your lens cap.)
• Jack loves to whip his head and his hair back and forth in a "no" motion. He's even started to close his eyes while he does this. And smiles like crazy. I think he likes the feeling of his (admittedly somewhat) long hair in the back swishing around.
  For his part, Thomas thinks he has never seen anything funnier in his life.
  
• For a while now, one of Jack's favorite toys has been the doctor kit. Now, he can even get the latches open by himself.
  With his teeth (a few weeks ago).
  As well as his hands (just last week).
  
• For a long while, Jack was scared of all things Baby Einstein. The caterpillar, those puppets: it all scared the crap out of him. He would scream bloody murder whenever we put the DVD on. We have one Baby Einstein soft hand puppet and when Jack saw it, he screamed at that, too, and actually pointed to the TV (how did it get out??)
  And for a while, I think the hand puppet thing soured him on all things stuffed and furry. When I brought out some stuffed animals to sort through, Jack screamed and crawled away at high speed.
  But after a few days of doing this, he seemed to get a bit braver. He started to cautiously crawl towards the animal pile, poke one harmless-looking animal in the stomach with his index finger, turn around and crawl away. He would stop about 5 feet away and just watch. It was like he was checking to make sure it was dead.
  The good news is: after a few days of this, he seems acclimated to our furry friends.
  Thank goodness. Baby TV is Mommy's friend...
