Train Ride

Jake got to take the train last week to go visit his Nana and Papa at his Aunt Jennifer's house! I didn't get any pictures of that train ride, but in the pictures above he is waiting with his cousins for the train we took to the Discovery Center on the last day of our trip.





Jake had so much fun playing with his cousins and getting to see his Nana and Papa. The girls had a little toy vacuum cleaner that Jake had fun pushing around while we were there. He also loved to play with all of the different kinds of balls they had. He even knocked a few off the tee when his Nana was showing him how to play tee-ball. It was a great time, Jake loved being around other kids, and he misses his Nana and Papa already!

Jake turned 19 months old today. Where does the time go? How has it already been a month since he turned a year and a half old? Jake is talking up a storm! He will carry on full conversations, not that we can understand everything yet, but he certainly can and that is all that matters! He is saying a ton of words now that we can understand though. It seems like he knows at least 30-40 words. But I am sure there are a bunch more he is saying that we just can't make out quite yet.

Jake is the smartest little kid. He is still doing everything left handed. He has pretty much perfected feeding himself with a fork and spoon, although he has been a pickier eater recently. His favorite thing to do right now is to "drive" the car or truck. When we are playing outside, he almost always goes over to the car and practically begs for me to let him in, so that he can sit in the driver's seat and pretend he's driving! Jake is so full of joy, he is such a happy kid, and he makes us smile every day!
