Jacob at 17 months

WOW, another month has gone by although this one didn't fly by with all that we have had going on. Jacob has changed so much. He is more talkative. He can actually nod his head yes and will tell you more of what he wants these days, which is good and bad. He now grunts if he doesn't get his way. So watch out when you tell him no or that he has to go to bed. My sister did a great job getting him to eat new foods, so now we don't have to give him his pediasure drink very often unless we need the convenience (like we are driving in the car at a meal time and need him to have a boost until we get to our destination). He has really grown up in the three weeks he was at the Davis house. He now sits at their kids table to eat meals, he climbs up on everything. He can even climb our chairs, which are far higher than the normal chair. Jacob loves to clean up and enjoys doing it. I will enjoy it until he gets to the stage where it is no longer fun. Since church is a little hectic because Mateo cannot go yet, Jacob nicely sat on a chair through Sunday school and part of Relief Society and when he was getting restless towards the end, he got out the wipes and started cleaning his chair. We did end up having to leave early because of the piano and wanting to play it and his wonderful grunting. Jacob also gained another skill of watching t.v. It has helped me in moments of need while trying to juggle everything. Luckily he is not at the I love t.v. point so I will enjoy it for now. Although Jacob did well not crying for my sister he is back at the I need mommy all the time and I am not sure how nursery will go next month. Oh and last but not least, at the beginning of the month he started smiley what we call his cheesy smile. It is so cute.
