The Jacob-boy turned 18 months old on Saturday! Crazy to think that he's been in our little family for a year and a half! Many people have made comments to us about how exciting it is that he'll now go to nursery on Sundays . . but not so, my friends, not so. Ben & I were called to be the Junior Nursery leaders basically as soon as we moved here, so Jacob has been going to nursery since he was 15 months old! He's a pro by now. Jacob is a toddler, and as such, pushes me to my limits. But oh, how I adore him. He lights up my life with love, joy, innocence, and excitement. He's a smart little fellow and I love watching him learn and figure things out. At 18 months, Jacob -
- weighs 23.4 lbs (16th percentile)
- is 31 inches tall (15th percentile)
- sleeps 12 hours through the night
- takes a 2-ish hour nap each day
- says "no," "yesh," and "Da"
- loves gymnastics class, swimming class, and ECFE "preschool"
- loves going to the park to run, climb, slide down the biggest slides, and swing
- is happiest when he's outside
- knows his bedtime routine: bath, diaper, pajamas, brush teeth, go upstairs with Mickey Mouse, say prayers, give Dad a kiss, give Mom a kiss, wave to Dad, nurse to sleep - it is CUTE watching him know what to do
- you read that ^^ right - he is still nursing . . hoping to wean soon!
- greats Dad at the garage door as soon as he hears it open each night
- loves to read, stack blocks, hammer things, and is all about CARS, TRUCKS, TRAINS . . like oh my goodness
We LOVE our Jake-boy to pieces!!
