Daddy's little helper.


Some monumental moments of the past week or two:
Jacob so enthusiastically aided his dad with laundry and we had to document it. From what i hear, Jacob even pushed the button to start the wash...so proud.

Jacob tried peanut butter with no negative consequence, aside from a messy face and a new favorite food (especially when in mom or dad's sandwich).

Jacob not only learned about doing laundry, but he's taken to sweeping everything at any time. We just have to work slightly on deliberate and controlled sweeping motion.

Not a milestone, but of developmental interest: Jacob has taken to stacking things or putting things in order quite well. He also enjoys removing every toy or item in a bowl or bucket and then climbing in himself...as seen below.
(and he loves to remove his own shoes.)

Other things of interest: Jacob continues to go to the park and play with a ball the entire time. Today a little boy tried to take the ball from him but jacob clung so desperately to the ball that he belly flopped. It was hilarious. The boy gave up and Jacob was pleased to continue playing with the ball, holding it, and chasing it.
Our little boy is communicating well! He now says "up" as he walks up the stairs, uh-oh when he drops things, and blows kisses on occassion. He babbles and laugh all the time...and we are having a blast with this toddler!

Well Jacob certainly qualifies as a big boy now that he's helping out with chores. Now maybe the can help his daddy get a hair cut.
