Growing Up!

As all or most of you already know Jacob has broken his collarbone. We are hoping it is healing but I'm not confident that it is where it's supposed to be. On the positive side he is talking so much, a lot of which is babbling but he is learning new words every few days. We are having a great time teaching him and taking him on new adventures.
He is still as sweet as ever, we are always getting compliments from strangers and from his teachers at school that he is well mannered, listens and is great at sharing. We are trying to slowly work on him with potty training, he has used the potty once (may 18th) and he likes to sit on it, so we will continue to work with him. His eating has slowed down and he definitely refuses a lot of foods that he loved just a few weeks ago. Mostly veggies and meats are the struggle right now which I expected to happen so we do our best and hope that it will change soon.
As you can see from the video he has learned many animal sounds and he also is able to point out most of his body parts (nose, mouth, eyes, ears, teeth, tongue, leg, arm, foot, head, belly button). We are working on teaching him his ABC's and colors. He LOVES his new room at school, they moved him up to the toddler room now he goes outside 2 times a day to play and get exercise. They follow a daily schedule which includes art/project time, reading, "circle time", and free play. They have the children sleeping on cots for nap time :)
We plan to go to the pool this weekend and will celebrate father's day, love to you all. Can't wait to see most of you soon.
