Jacob had a great birthday!  He got to play on a fire truck, eat chocolate cake, and play with car- and truck-themed toys.  I don’t think it could have been more perfect.

At two years old, Jacob:

• is madly in love with the movie Cars
• is also wild about Toot-toots (Thomas the Tank Engine)
• and recognizes the different trains (”Hi Henry!  Hi Gordon!  Hi James!  Hi Percy!  Hi Toot-toot!”)
• asks for “cookies” regularly… which really means anything sweet
• loves “yellow digguhs” or yellow diggers
• will practically put himself down for a nap (thank goodness)
• appears to have rhythm
• is very good at roaring
• and likes when you roar at him
• can say his own name upon request (”I’m Jake-Jake!”)
• can also make requests (”‘boooouuuut… Cars!!!” he says with an air of authority and with his finger raised in the air.)
• is starting to fight back against the powers that be
• but generally is a ball of sunshine

Jacob, I love you!  Thanks for being the happy little monster that you are. :)

Here’s Jacob at 1.
