July 20- Happy 2nd Birthday, Jacob!!

birthday:



one year old:



two years old (i made him put that hat on again :)



I cant believe my baby is two! He is such a sweet boy- and VERY funny- he knows it, too- he is talking up a storm- his most common response to any question you ask him is 'i dunno' - and whenever you tell him to, or not to do something- his typical response is 'okay' he is such a little ham- and he loves his big brother and sister's ALOT! he's always asking justin to play with him- or 'bookie- you want to come on tampoline with me' (yes, i forgot the R in trampoline on purpose)... 'where's bittney- bittney home?' 'Justin ARE YOU?' he has a very funny smile - see all pictures he either squints one or both eyes- his feet are still WIDE and thick- he wears an 8.5 W or XW- hard to fit his little footsies, but they are oh so cute~! another one of his favorite words is 'cool'  and he uses it in the right context- 'cool mom' 'that's cool' it sounds so cute and strange for a 2 year old to tell u that things are cool- 'watch mom, this is cool'

he LOVES his 'pillow' it is a leopard pillow that i got for my baby shower with his name monogrammed on it- ironically, i got two of the same pillow even though they were custom monogrammed- but it worked out perfect, because one stays at nana's house, and one at our house..



most recently, he told me- with one finger pointing at me- 'mom, i'll be right back' lol- in a matter of fact tone of voice- i said 'oh, you will?' 'yes' lol... he understands and says so much- it amazes me- or else he pretends to understand it all- by responding 'okay' to everything you tell him to do..

he loves his daddy- and his nana and pawpaw can do no wrong- he is just full of fun, and wants to be just like his big brother- he copies EVERYTHING justin does and says!

anyway- he is TWO now- and he had a fun birthday party at picasso's place- we were excited grandma and grandpa were there- and aunt marsha came too- as well as brit (brooke was at regina's), nana, and pawpaw and lots of friends! His favorite part was definitely the fly swatter paint- it was EVERYWHERE!

playing 'picasso says' (instead of simon says):





















justin took the below pic of me and my mom..

and here are a few photos from grandma and aunt marsha's camera:





His favorite toy was his remote controlled bubble car- but we havent even tried it with the bubbles- he didnt quite grasp the idea that HE was the one in control of the car- that HE was the one pushing the button making it go in circles- so, while his finger (i guess unknowingly to him) was pressing the button, he chased the car in circles around and around- until at one point, when he stopped he almost fell smack on his face, because he was so dizzy- i caught it on my regular video camera, but i have a similar video to post on here from my digital camera- nana shouted 'uh oh, i think he's dizzy' and ran and cought him just in time- it was hilarious (only bc he dindt get hurt).. once he 'sobered up' he was at it again.. watch the video for an example.. he was also not too happy when we told him it was time to go inside- as you can see!
