For memory's sake

I thought of a few more things I don't want to forget down the road, so bear with me.

* Jake's closet has a sliding door, and he loves to play with it. He'll go inside the closet, shut the door, wait a few seconds, then open it up....a version of peek-a-boo. He also sometimes requests for one of us to come in the closet with him.
*Although Jake is learning many new English words (he said 'thank you' for the first time yesterday), he continues to speak in a language we like to call 'Jake-ese.' He talks and talks, but you have no idea what he's saying. What makes it especially funny is that it truly seems like he's trying to have a conversation and he's waiting for you to respond. I really believe there are full out sentences just waiting to pop out anytime
*When Jake runs, he only swings his right arm; his left one stays close to his body. Kind of weird, I know, but also kind of cute.
*Overall, I'd say he's a good eater. He LOVES fruits and we always have several kinds of fruit on hand. His favorites right now are watermelon and grapes. He also really likes oranges, cantaloupe, bananas, apples, and blueberries. He's not as open to veggies, but his favorites are avocado and green beans. He also LOVES milk. He much prefers milk to water, which are pretty much the only two things we offer him.
*He went through a stage during June and July when bathtimes were unpredictable. Sometimes he HATED it and refused to sit down, which made bathtime hated by all. Luckily, he seems past that stage and all is good and fun in the tub.
*After the last post of Jake's favorite things, we decided to cut down on his TV watching, so now he only watches about 30 minutes per day. I have to say, it's probably more challening on us than him.....that's a lot of time to keep a little boy fully entertained!
