Two and a 1/2

YIKES!!! Jacob is 2 1/2 today!! My little guy is growing up way to fast. With this cold weather wearing jeans and sweatshirts he even looks big!! Jacob is still our little chatter box, talking non-stop to anyone and everyone. Lately his favorite things to talk about are hunting and bear stories. Jacob would sit and listen to bear stories all day if we could think of enough to tell him. Then he go on to tell other people parts of them. This makes for some entertaining stories.

Jacob is also starting to eat a little bit more!!! He now likes more than mac n' cheese. I would have never thought I would be so excited to see my little boy eat a hot dog or a chicken nugget. Also when we eat Jacob loves to help Deacon learn his sign language. It is so cute when he tells Deacon to ask for more or say thank you. Hopefully he will always be so helpful teaching his brother!!

We still do lots of crafts at our house. Jacob's favorite right now is paint. We just got some new paint at the store this week that we are looking forward to making some new creations with. Glue is also high on Jacob's list of fun things to use when crafting. With fall coming I'm looking for fun craft ideas for the little guy so if you have any send them our way.

Other favorite things of Jacob's right now are pretending with stuffed animals, building towers and kicking them over, making forts, trying to drive any vehicle he can get his hands on (watch your keys), jumping and climbing on everything and playing with Deacon. We are also attempting potty training right now. Can't say how its going to go but I would bet we wont be going to far without diapers anytime soon.

Jacob you are an amazing little man. I love you more than I could ever tell you. It just melts mommy and daddy's hearts when you keep asking for just one more kiss or hug. Even when it makes dad late for work or you go down for a nap or bed a few minutes later. You say the funniest things and we always say how quiet it is when you are away for a few hours with Grandpa and Grandma, Aunt Ashley, or your buddies Jan & Kenzie. Love you little guy. We are thankful for the fun we have had the past 2 1/2 years and excited for all the things yet to come!!
