10 Things about Jake

It is the same story for most moms, your younger children have less pictures, less movies and less journaling about them. I realized yes, this was true for poor Jakey. So, here is a little bit about my little guy, so that i have something written about him and his developments. He is almost 16 months old and here are the funny things he does:

1) He loves to head-butt. I mean loves it. He thinks it is so funny. And he doesn't do it just a little bit, but he does it a lot and hard. If you aren't paying attention, my little guy can really hurt you! Believe me, we have had our collisions!

2) He loves airplanes. On our trip to Holland, we spent the night by the airport and he went bonkers watching the airplanes fly over head every 2 mins. He would point up into the air and say his word for "plane" with the biggest eyes and smile. The other night the girls said they saw a plane and he heard the word and pointed to that sky and said something in his little own language.
He definitely knows the word "airplane".

3) He loves animals. Every time he sees an animal he squeals and won't leave the animal alone. He is just so excited to see the animal. Sometimes the animal doesn't even have to be alive. In Holland, there was this mini cow statue and Jake ran up to it and squealed and wouldn't not leave the cow. I tried to lure him away, but he was not going to have it. He just kept touching it, laughing and looking at me and pointing to the cow.

4) You can tell Jake has eczema on his cheeks. He has had it since we has 6 months old. No matter what cream or antibiotic I give him, it will not go away. Every always comments about how "rosy" his cheeks are...

5) His hair is so blonde! He gets comments all the time about his hair. 6) He loves books and love to pretend to read them just like his sisters. 7) He got a Woody and Buzz Lightyear for his birthday and he took to them automatically. It is amazing how kids instinctually like Toy Story. 8) He has been walking since he was 12 months old but he still walks like he just learned last week. He is always falling over, stumbling and bumping into things. I am not sure why, but he is the funniest walker/stumbler.

9) Every morning when Hannah leaves for school, Jakey runs to the door and stands there waving and yelling "iye, iye" sorta sounds like "bye". He does it until he can't see Hannah anymore. It is so darn cute!

10) I love this guy. He is so much fun and really such a good kid that just loves to be a part of the family and be a part of life.
