20 months today!

I can't believe it has been 14 months since I posted last! I have been great about sending out pictures and keeping people updated though! It seems to be easier to send out a mass email than to post here, then email everyone to let them know to check this. Plus I am a bit creeped out that my name and stuff is on here :) Also in that time, we got a new computer and I had all passwords saved on the old one!

At the last update, Jacob was about 22lbs... he is now 33! But he has been for quite a few months now. He seems to be slowing down... except in height! He is about 36 inches and everyone says he looks like he is 3!

Jacob is so smart, and he surprises me every day. His newest word is "Yesss!" And he says HI all the time! It cracks me up. All kids do this, but that is not what makes him so smart! He knows some colors and can recognize shapes (circles and triangles) and letters (O, M, B, T, E so far). He knows all his animal noises.. the funniest being the rooster!

His personality is really showing too. He is so much like me. He is independent and says "I do it" all the time! He is compassionate too. When he is mad and starts smacking, I pretend I am hurt and immediately you see him get sad because I am hurt. He hugs me and does the sign for "sorry." At Leah's, his babysitter, when another girl his age cries, he cries with her! He's so sweet!

I could go on and on about how brilliant he is! I could also write a book about the fits he can throw! Mostly they are because he wants to be independent and I want him to be 20 months and not 5!

I'll post pictures soon!
