Vocab!

Spring is fast approaching as is Jake's 2nd birthday. It's hard to believe that in just 3 short months the little man will be 2! His vocabulary is ever expanding and it's amazing the new words he puts together to communicate with us. At dinner time he will tell us if he wants "juice", "wa wa" (water) or "milk"..but tonight he asked for "apple juice, pease". He also is starting to label everything: "Jake's milk", or "Jake's puppy". Thankfully he is no longer calling himself "Yakey". Maybe it's because Mommy told him over and over "I named you JAKE, not JAKEY!"

He got hit with a cold at the end of last week, with a pretty bad cough. The first night of the cough, we felt awful that when laid down he coughed uncontrollably. So..we decided to prop him up on pillows and let him sleep in between us in bed. This lasted a whole 3 minutes. He would look to my side and say "Hi, Mommy", turn to Alex and say "Hi, Daddy!"..turn to me and ask for a hug, and then back to Daddy for a hug. Over and Over and Over. So..back to his crib he went! He had a bit of a rough night sleeping and coughing, but we are happy to report that he is sleeping MUCH better, in his own bed.


Week 2 of swim lessons went very well. Alex said that Jake was a bit shy at the start of this lesson..but he eased right into it and loved splashing up a storm. He even showed me how he jumps into the pool into Daddy's arms. Very cute!

March will hopefully be a low key month for us..hopefully a month filled with lots of sunshine!
