Slacker Mom to Catch Up Family on nearly 4 months of 2008 News.
Yowza! I know there isn't much I can use an excuse for not keeping my blog up to date.
Just at the end of a long day - the last thing I want to do is power up the ol' laptop...
Jake is growing in leaps and bounds. He is 2 1/2 going on 22. He can talk fairly well for his age and he's super tall. Many people think he's 3 1/2 rather than 2 1/2.
He is still fascinated with the washing machine and calls it the washa-mine. He is also fascinated with volcanoes (from little Einstein's) and calls them O-canos. Have I mentioned he sings? All the time. Especially at dinner. Seems I cannot get him to eat his dinner - he'd rather serenade everyone. What are his favorite songs to sing... you are wondering?
Thanks to Grandpa he knows the first two verses of the hymns, "High On A Mountain Top" and "How Firm A Foundation". He also likes, "Redeemer of Israel", "Come, Come Ye Saints" and "Ye Elders of Israel" which round out his repertoire. Nina is now teaching him, "Spirit of God".
I have tried to capture him singing on camera and tape it. His singing is so pure and innocent yet filled with gusto. But as soon as the camera starts rolling - he switches to his silly monster voice which sounds like Red Foxx from Sanford and Sons. (How does he know I am taping?) Still he figures it out.

I have included a video of him "composing" an original piece on the "panano" (piano)
He reminds me of Jared when we use to live in the Summit house.
