Another milestone

OK, on the list of all time "big moments" this is probably pretty low down, but Jake was pretty excited about it, so I will include it in my digital memory book: Jake swung on a big boy swing! We had progressed recently from the baby swings to the "special needs" swings (which are basically chairs) and last night at the park near the house, he swung on the regular swing! He held on really well and even pumped his feet a little. So proud. We are looking at a backyard play set for him for his birthday/Christmas/Hanukkah. But, shhhh, it's a surprise so don't tell him!

He's well over 150 words now. Many times a day he will say something that I think "wow, I didn't know he knew that word!"

He didn't make it awake to the fireworks Saturday, but he got to play with the son of some friends. We were having dinner with them and the other little boy was in Jake's high chair (being 10 months younger). Jake was clearly a little puzzled at this (and at having to share his toys) so, just to make sure, Jake kept pointing to Steve and I and saying "MY Daddy! MY Mommy!" I don't know if he was afraid that we were auditioning his replacement or swapping out parents, but it was really cute.

Poor little guy! Didn't want to share his mommy and daddy! At that age, things change all the time. At least you know that you are ore important than his toys and high chair. {: >
