Word Explosion!

I don't know if it's the new speech therapist or he's just ready to talk now but Jacob is just saying all kinds of new things. Honestly, he says something new everyday. Daddy keeps saying he doesn't say "L". I keep telling Daddy "it's perfectly normal, most kids have trouble with L."

Jacob now says:

I play
I bump - just this morning and he laughs every time
help
home
three
five
eight
move
Alex - the speech therapist
ear
snake
zoo

He'll repeat the letters of the alphabet and numbers. He's also repeating most anything you ask him to or at least trying to. Big Da and I, we hang on every word! Everyone keeps telling me "once he gets going you'll wish he'd shut up". No, I don't think so. He has the sweetest little voice, every word out of his mouth is music to my ears. Hmm, except for in the car when he says "momma, momma, momma?", I say "what?" and he points to Jeremy and says "Big Da!". He knows it bugs the hell out of me and so he keeps doing it, over and over. Or when just Jacob and I are home and he chants "Big Da!" until he goes to bed. Yeah, those moments are a little annoying but, it's still such a relief, knowing he's almost 3, and finally speaking!

The absolute best though:

"Jacob, say 'I'"
"I"
"Love"
"Wuv"
"You"
"YOU!"

In other news, I only have one white foot now. My right foot is back to normal but, the left still has a way to go. Jacob saw the painted feet last night and said "EEEUW!" then started picking at the paint which only tickled and didn't remove any paint. I have one more coat to spray on the chair and a wooden plaque to paint this weekend. I'll post picks when I'm done with this project.
