Nobody believes me when I tell them that Jake just turned 20 months old this past weekend. He is just a couple of months past a year and half, but he looks like a 2 1/2 yr old. And he is the smartest little kid, which makes him seem that much older too!
As you can see, Jake is climbing all over the playground these days. He can get himself all the way to the top of the play area to go down the spiral slide. He really enjoys going to the park or over to the ball field at the school. One of his favorite things to do right now is playing ball. He loves throwing the baseball (which he can throw overhand!) and his bigger bouncy balls. And he has really figured out how to run now, which makes going to get the balls that much more enjoyable!
Jake has continued to say more and more words, and is even starting to put words together (Mama swing, Pops lawnmower). I even heard him string his first sentence together the other day (Dada gotta go work). It is amazing to watch each new growth in his communication skills, as well as all the other skills he has been developing over the past 20 months! He starts Mother's Day Out next week, so we'll keep you posted. We actually just went to meet one of the teachers today and show Jake his classroom. He was already hugging the teacher's leg and playing with all of the toys, so I am sure he will love it!
