He Thinks He's A Cow

Jacob can't really talk, well not in words the rest of the world would understand, but he knows the meaning of so many words now! One of his favorite things to do at home is to look through all of his animal books. We can ask him where an animal is and he will find it in the book. He also has just started to be able to relate the name of an animal with the correct picture and make the sound the animal does. It's the cutest thing ever!

He can point out cows, goats, chickens, owls, elephants, dogs and cats. It seems there are more that he knows, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment! He can make the sounds of a cow, chicken, elephant and owl. All day today he was walking around the house mooing and bringing me all his toy cows.

Unrelated, but he also is getting really good at following simple commands. I can tell him to go put on his hat and he will stop everything, go find his hat, put it on and then resume what he was doing. It's funny because he tends to scatter his toys in every room of the house but if we tell him to go get something specific, he knows exactly where it is!

He's becoming such a big boy!
