2 Year Old Jacob

Jacob is such a fun little dude.  He loves to laugh and make everyone else laugh, he loves to be outside and could spend all day riding his bike, jumping on the trampoline, and hitting baseballs off the tee in the yard, he is SO opinionated and stubborn, and he is 100% a daddy's boy (which breaks his mommy's heart a little bit). 

He is a little peanut, at his 2 year check up back in February, he weighed in at 24.5 pounds and was 33.7" tall.  He is a picky eater and most times it is hard to get him to eat at all.  His favorite foods are crakers, cheese, berries, cheetos, and apples.

When Jacob turned 2 he already had developed quite the vocabulary, and now you can't make him stop talking!  He is always impressing strangers with the amount of words that come out of that tiny mouth! 

Jacob loves to play with his big brother and sister, loves legos, cars, and coloring.  He like routines and he wakes up every morning and gets a cup of milk, then climbs in bed with his daddy to watch some Paw Patrol. 

I took these pictures of Jacob a couple days after his second birthday!

Jacob is 2!

Waaay back in January, our baby Jacob turned 2!  We had a small party at the house for him, complete with puppy dog cupcakes made with help from his brother and sister (he loves puppies).

15 month well check

Jacob saw the doctor today for his 15 month check up.  He is 20 pounds 6 ounces (15th perecntile) 29.5" tall (4th percentile) and his head is 19" (80th percentile).  Still not walking yet!  But he is sooooo close, I keep saying any day now, but I think I have been saying that for three weeks.  Jacob seems to be an observer, and probably a perfectionist like his brother.  I think he is waiting to try walking until he is sure he can do it, once he starts walking, he will be running!

First Hair Cut

Jacob got a hair cut!  It was time.  He has really fine hair and it was getting pretty long, it would hang down in his eyes and the back would get all matted in his car seat.  Plus strangers kept calling him princess :)

Here are some before shots...

And some immediately after...he was NOT a fan of getting his hair cut.  I kept it a little long on the top and trimed it up quite a bit in the back and on the sides, no more matted hair!

And a few more after he calmed down a bit.

Brothers

It is fun to watch the sibling relationships develop with these kids.  Both Andrew and Emily adore Jacob, and he is all smiles and giggles when they are around.  Andrew is such a great big brother and has been teaching Jacob lots of important life lessons, like...making silly faces, wrestling, and playing ball!

I have been debating on a hair cut for Jacob.  I just love his hair, but it is getting so long it is almost hanging in his eyes all the time.  Plus every where we go strangers tell me what a beautiful baby girl he is :D  Maybe it is time....
