Jacob 28 Months

August has been a fun month and hard to believe it is over and September is here! Jacob has become quite the toddler over the last 6 months. Every day is an adventure! Jacob talks non-stop putting together some pretty elaborate sentences and concepts! He is very curious and never stops asking questions. It is only a matter of time before "But Why?" starts...fortunately, he still doesn't understand what "why" means! He has become quite proficient at prayers, saying the Hail Mary and the Angel of God, my guardian dear...etc. all by himself. The Our Father is almost mastered.

He loves to sing and knows so many different songs and stories. One day I caught him belting out "Jesus Loves Me" while banging on the piano! His imagination runs wild and everyday, we make believe and he pretends to be someone. The other night he ate all his green beans and I asked him "Who ate all your green beans?". He replied "Papa Bear". So I asked, "Does Papa Bear want more green beans?" to which he replied, "Yup!" We are working on "Yes ma'am". He likes to pretend to be a firefighter, Buzz Lightyear, Doctor, and a worker man! We have adventures all over the house pretending to be a firefighter. I usually hide the puppy and then call for 911. He then has to find the puppy and rescue him from the fire! He also LOVES his little people house and airplane. He likes to have ducky parties in the house. I have NO idea what a ducky party is but there is a lot of quacking going on!

A couple friends and I are helping each other put together some lesson plans for our boys! I started this week and each week we have a different letter, number, color, bible story and bible verse! I enjoy teaching Jacob new things and he is a sponge for everything. He already knows all his colors and can count to 10, 3&4 are problematic sometimes. It will be fun to do different crafts and projects! Today we learned about Adam and Eve and when I asked him what God said to Adam and Eve, he replied, "Don't eat that fruit!". It is a joy to watch him grow and develop!

Jacob loves popsicles, so every night, we head outside for our Popsicle together after Caleb has gone to bed!

Jacob thought getting in the trunk was a good idea!

Jacob rarely poses and smiles for the camera...I love this pic! It isn't too often he looks this angelic!

Jacob running thru the splash pad. They have several of these around town and are free to the public. Jacob does not enjoy water, so it has been a struggle to get him to even play in it.
