New Jake Vernacular

Jake is beginning to talk up a storm! Generally, he's a pretty sweet toddler.
We have the occassional upset when he's over tired and the occassional power struggle as he begins to assert his own opinion.

Here is some of his new vocabulary

Moff (meaning 'come off')
Mon (meaning 'come on') As in, Mon Mama upstairs.
Saner - sandwich
Shu-shu - Tissue
Don tair - down stairs
Uh tair - upstairs
Gank - Blanket
Guck - Truck
Gink - Drink
Mook - Milk
Ni - Lid

I have included a video of Jake in the tub - I am trying to get him to sing the ABC's.

Reagan's First Steps

Today at GG's (aka Grandma Fereday's house) Reagan took her first steps.
And I was LUCKY enough to catch it all on video.

Just prior to the video Shay & Elisabeth took Reagan out in the yard and she surprised them both by free standing for them. After she stood on her own - I happened to turn on the camera to film Shay giving her hugs.

You will hear all of us cheering when we realized she was taking her first steps.
On her second attempt - I think our cheering actually distracted her
And on her third attempt - she grabs Jake's shirt for stability.

And Jake was SO cute - He wanted to sit with Uncle Shay and help cheer Reagan on.
He was also very cute in joining in on cheering her on - and was very sweet to give her hugs.
Even though - once or twice he knocked her down.

Enjoy the video!

Love, Jodi & Jake
