I've once again neglected my blog long enough to just not know where to start. I haven't "documented" a large part of our summer, which is screeching to a halt with the start of preschool in a week and a half. So much has happened and I want to write it all down! So, I guess I'll start with this guy:
The major development in the life of Jake is language. He went from 5 words to like 25 in the matter of a few weeks and continues to absorb words at a lightning pace. Here are a few of my favorites:
"kiki"= blankie, usually preceded by the next phrase on my list...
"i aunt dat"= I want that...which is a priceless phrase in any toddler's vocab arsenal
"mo"=more...again, another toddler necessity
"mine"=mine...this word can be the beginning of WWIII without some mediation
"socy"=sorry...he says this in the sweetest voice after he has wronged someone (usually his sister)
"uhkay"=okay...you must hear this in person to fully appreciate this one
"Nienie"=Annie, our dog
"Sissy"=Addison
"Mimi"=Grammy, my mom, who is living with us for a time while she and my stepdad finalize their house plans.
"cah"=car...Jake can oftentimes be found with a car in each hand trying to pick up a third, because well, two cars just aren't enough
"buh"=book, his current favorites are most any Sandra Boynton book, especially "But Not the Hippopotamus."
"shoe"=shoe...he is a lover of all shoes...mine, Kyle's, Addison's, his own
"helwhoa"=hello and telephone...he loves to talk on the "hello" and has very animated conversations. Jake is also known to be a phone snatcher.
"cank cou"=thank you
"saur"=dinosaur
"choochoo"=train
"cow"=cow
