The Video I Promised

This is the video I wanted to show you last month.

Two!

In the midst of all the snow that fell on us, Jacob turned two years old!  Grampa came to town and we celebrated with cupcakes.  Jacob's birthday party is postponed until we can see our street again. (Actually most of the snow has melted, so we're in good shape provided we don't have any more blizzards.)

Caroline created a great word and skill chart that marks when Jacob said which words and did which big skill over the last two years.  Jacob has around 90 words in his vocabulary! And the list keeps growing and growing.  Today he said "song" to me for the first time!  He loves music and loves listening to his Putumayo CDs.

Here's some recent pictures:

Listening to "Happy Birthday"

Eating cake (one of his new favorite words).

Riding his fire truck.

Exploring the fish in the Children's Area of the Enoch Pratt Library main branch (with buddy Aidan).

Supporting the Wishes for Fishes fund.

Jacob is getting ready for some new adventures.  He'll be taking a tumbling class this spring and we're eagerly awaiting summer for fun at the pool.

Snowman!

Goodness, all we're getting here in Baltimore is snow, snow, and more snow.  We're expecting another 15" - 22" inches tonight.  Jacob and I went out to build snowmen from the snow leftover from last weekend.  He had a blast once he realized that the mittens kept his hands warm while touching the snow.  Hee hee.

Yay for snow!
