20 months

jake is 20 months old. and one day i will get a decent pic without that bink in his mouth! but he's more devoted to it than ever so i'm not sure when "that day" will come. the following is his reaction's when the bink fell from his mouth and out of reach onto the floor. pretty darn sad. haha.

my jake is such a love bug. i love getting him out of his crib after a nap. he's usually all smiles (except if he loses the bink :) 

some deets on the jakester:

• he loves my sewing machine, which i don't love so much, but i do love finding little animals and critters on top of it. he's constantly pulling the thread spool off and making tangles. c'est la vie. if it keeps him happy then...

• he now says "bye" a lot. especially when scott leaves for work. and it is the sweetest-melt-your-heart-voice ever! 
• he's in size 2T clothes. he went through a MAJOR growth spurt the last couple of weeks and ate like there was no tomorrow. one morning he had a banana, two cuties, a couple of strawberries, a breakfast bar, an egg, a handful of cheese puffs, a graham cracker and other items i can't even remember. but seriously, he's a tank at the moment, probably due to the fact that he also consumes 4+ glasses of milk a day. at church yesterday, an older sister missionary in our ward came up to us and said, "he's such a big, healthy looking boy." and i agree, he does look healthy! ha.
• he's loving Sandra Boynton books. 
• he loves nursery still which is a major blessing. he did not want to leave there yesterday and kept hugging his little pals.
• when he's tired he lays his cheek on top of mine or scott's and loves to cuddle on the couch.
• he loves cars, dinosaurs, his Buzz and Woody, books, basketball, trains and being a cowboy :)
• he is obsessed with chocolate! when he wants some he says, "Chock!" he's constantly sneaking chocolate chips. i made some chocolate chip cookies for a baby shower over the weekend and i watched as he'd quietly and sneakily go up on his tippy toes and reeeeeach his little hand up to the cooling rack on the counter and grab a cookie then run to his chair to hide and eat. i moved the cooling rack back so he couldn't reach but he outsmarted me and pushed a chair to the counter to reach them anyways. this kid loooooves chocolate chip cookies. like mother like son. 

i could just eat him up! happy 20 months jay!
