Well, this past weekend, we were down visiting our good friends the Steiners in East Lynn, IL, for our goddaughter Abby's 1st birthday party. They have a 3 1/2 yr old son, Ethan, who Jacob adores. He had a blast playing with all the kids at the party. We were in the country, so they even got to enjoy 4-wheeler rides and playing in a big rock pile.
Here's a pic of Jacob & Ethan enjoying a 4-wheeler ride with Chris.
Here's an adorable picture of our goddaughter, Abby, playing in the sandbox.
Jacob has also been enjoying playing on our new swingset in the backyard. We had our friends Amy, Ben & Braden over a few weeks ago, and we all enjoyed playing on the swingset after supper.
Here is Jacob, enjoying the slide!
Yup - Jacob has already figured out if he leans back far enough in the swing, he can be "upside down". Oh boy, we are going to have our hands full - that kid is fearless!
Lately, as Jacob gets closer to 3 (which everyone tells me is way worse than the terrible 2's), some defiant - ok, "naughty"- behavior has really kicked in. Tantrums, refusal to hold hands in parking lots, not listening, hitting when he doesn't get his way. It seems like every request or redirection I give him is a battle. (I am learning to pick said battles wisely...) His speech is really coming along by leaps & bounds. He has such a larger vocabulary, and parroting any word you ask him to say. Pronounciation still has a ways to go, but he's making so much progress! (Can you tell I'm a proud momma?)
Finally, in honor of Father's Day coming up in a few weeks, I leave you with an adorable pic of the two loves of my life...

Thanks for sharing the pictures and update! No fair posting things on facebook and not here!!
I wondered if Jacob was enjoying the playground set. Looks like fun! Amanda also has no fear - she would have a blast playing with Jacob. =)
