It's been a loooong time...

Sorry all.  I have been a huge slacker on this whole blog thing.  We have had a rough couple of weeks.  Jake was recently sick for quite some time, but we are over that!  He is such a good boy.  We have been working on potty training him.  I know it is traditionally early, but he started showing an interest, and it is going quite well.  He does better at school than at home, but we are working on it.  He says a lot, even though Derek disagrees.  From what I can recall at the moment, he says, bye-bye, hello, shoe, put shoe on, where did he go, I brush teeth, Momma, Daddeeee, doggie, fishy, light, outside, cheese, bottle, please, thank you, boom...The best part is how much he understands.  You ask him to get your other shoe, and he gets it.  Crazy. 
He had his 18 mo appointment today, of course Derek doesn't remember his stats...but at last Dr's sick appt he was 23.5 pounds. 
Anyways, here are some pictures.  We have his 18 month photo shoot this weekend.  I am excited for them.  I am sure Leanna will post some teasers, so I will update soon.
