jake report

I thought I would take a couple of posts to do some individual "stats", if you will, on the boys.

So, first up: The Jakester!

These are some kickin' PJ's I just ordered for him, because I KNEW he would love them. He is in love with anything tools, trucks or details. We took the boys to the rodeo the other week and instead of checking out all the cute animals and such Jake would point out the "bucket & warer" (aka. bucket & water) What a silly kiddo. Who notices that?
He loves pointing out ALL "warer" that he sees. While we drive around he always points out the water every-where. He is quite the chatty-cathy...here are some words and ways that he is saying them:
"pitze" - pizza
"Dir" - Dirk
"rooookie" - Rookie (Major emphasis on the "ooo")
"bror" - brother
"Brok" - Brock
"beeerr" - better (he loves saying when things are better)
"mamas" - mom
"daaas" - dad (we are both plural for some reason)
"watch" - to watch a movie on TV
"soos" - shoes
"dir" - dirt
"honne" hungry
He does all the grandparent's names like a pro now.
We are working really hard of "please" and "thankyou"...he does "pees" like a pro...but whenever we ask him to say thank you...it is "welcome"...it cracks everyone up everytime!

He is also saying lots of things very well:
socks
cars
trucks
Jake
cows
moo
LOTS more that I cannot think of right now

We have been working on sounds and stuff...he loves to moo like a cow, meow like a cat, bowow like a dog, ohoh (with his hands in his arm-pits) for a monkey, wiggle his nose like a bunny, hold up his nose like a pig

He and Brock are wrestling like crazy...he will pin Brock on the ground and lift up his hand and feet so that ALL of his weight is on him. It is hilarious!
He cannot stand being messy...he will wipe his face off if it is dirty (with a napkin) and if he get's wet playing outside he has to strip off anything that is wet. I have created a monster!

All in all he is a growing fun little boy. We are so blessed and thankful.
