Jacob is 23 Months Old!

I can't believe my baby is almost 2 - only 1 more month. He's growing and changing every day. He's now starting to count. I say one and he does two, I do three and he's starting to say four and five. He's definitely got eight, nine and ten down. He can also say the letters in his name. And for some reason he knows the letter "T." When we watch Barney and the HIT logo comes on the screen he'll run up to the tv and point to the letter "T" and say "T."

Jake can point to and name all the boys in our family picture. Not sure why he'll only do the boys but he says Grandpa, Ata (which is Uncle Attila), Steve (Uncle Steve), Matt (Uncle Matt), Max (his cousin), Jack (his cousin) and Shaun (his cousin).

He is starting to sing along a bit more with songs. I can get him to do the la la la parts on several songs. And he knows how to do all the motions for the itsy bitsy spider. He does all the animal sounds for the Grandpa's farm song and says "pop" for pop goes the weasel.

Jake is getting better with going down the stairs and can do part of the way walking (i.e., with out scooting on his behind). He is climbing up on everything - which I'm not sure I really love.

He still loves Barney but has now gotten into Thomas the train as well (although he calls him Tata).
