getting ready to ride on the jet ski for the 1st time
just hanging out on the boat
so cool!!!Jacob turned 20 months while we were out of town. He's saying and doing so many new things right now. Here are a few of my favorites...
- He laughs ALL the time. He laughs at anything and often about nothing at all. The spontaneous laugh is my fave.
- He is my little water bug. He loves to play in the water and has really been enjoying swimming this summer.
- He is quite the little helper. Sweeping the floor, feeding Samson, taking clothes out of the dryer, and cooking with mommy (he helps with the pouring and stirring) are some of his favorite things.
- "Momo" his monkey lovie is still his favorite friend.
- When eating out he will choose healthy foods over fries. Way to go little buddy!!
- New foods: asparagus, broccoli, potato salad, suck sucks (suckers), and nuts - donuts :)
- This boy LOVES, LOVES, LOVES his fruits...strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, peaches, apples, pears, mangoes, bananas, clementines, plums, blueberries, pineapple, and watermelon
- At dinner he drinks from a big boy cup and is doing really well with it.
- He is obsessed with cars, trucks, his yellow bus, and trains. He says "tars" all the time. He also likes "Mas" (Thomas the Train).
- He says "t" for "c".
- Can repeat us when we count to 10. And, when we say 1 he says 2. He is also learning colors. He can say yellow, blue, geen, pink, purple, and brown. He can say things such as "brown Samson" or "yellow flower".
- New animal sounds : alligator, duck, and donkey.
- New body parts: knees, cheeks, bottom, chin, toes, and back.
-Three of his favorite outdoor activities include swinging, jumping on our neighbor's trampoline, and riding on the lawnmower with his dada.
- He still LOVES to brush his teeth.
- He says "whoa" when we pass a truck carrying cars on the road.
- He throws his hands up in the air and squeals "yay" when he is proud of himself or excited about something.
- He says "hold" when he wants to hold something and says "hold you" when he wants to be held.
-He LOVES to give hugs and we LOVE to get them!!
- He recently said "love you mama" for the first time. Talk about melt your heart.
- He likes saying his grandparents and his aunts names over and over again.
- Jacob loves our neighbor Emma. Every time he sees her he wants to hold her hand. So cute!! She is so sweet to always pay attention to him.
- Aunt Mimi (Jayme) drives a red honda. Every time Jacob sees a red car he points to it and says "Mimi". Adorable. And smart.
- Holds his sweet little hands out for ours and says "pray" before meals.
- He always asks to read his Bible before bedtime. Aww. Just precious.
- Two days before we left for the beach Jacob had his first of many accidents. He burned his hand on the dishwasher. It was a 3rd degree burn and looked pretty bad. He handled it like a champ. We went to the office and Jared gave him medicine and wrapped it with some cool blue tape. We actually had to keep it wrapped for a couple of weeks. Anyway, Jacob learned to say medicine or "medsy" and "boo boo". He is so cute to remind us every morning and night that we need to put medsy on his boo boo.
- And, finally the biggest thing. We have started potty training (unofficially). I know it's early. However, he either goes to a corner, squats, and covers his eyes then comes to us and says "poo poo" or brings us a diaper and says "bapa". So....we went the other day and got a potty at the store. We brought it home and introduced them. Last night Jacob was walking around saying "bapa". I took his diaper off and sat him on the potty. He looked at me and started laughing. I told him to go pee pee. And, HE ACTUALLY DID. A LOT. My sister and Jared were both here and we all started screaming and clapping. Jacob put his hands over his face and laughed. Then he threw his hands up in the air, said "yay", and started clapping. We've still got a long way to go, but we're practicing.
Pictures from Hilton Head and other randomness coming soon!
