Spring Break 2008

We're back! It's been a long and busy spring break. We traveled to PA where we spent 11 days visiting friends and family. In the course of a week and a half, we dined out every day, did tons of shopping, threw a bridal shower for my friend Steph, went to an Easter egg hunt, attended several church services, and celebrated birthdays passed. I don't think Jake has ever had a better time.

Jake learned several new words and phrases while in PA. He now counts to 15 and says the entire alphabet (with some prompting). He has so many words that he can ask for many objects by name. But, the most exciting thing - he is now singing! He sings Pat-a-Cake, parts of Twinkle, Twinkle, Rock-a-Bye Baby and a special song we sing at nap time. He has such a cute, little singing voice. However, he remains incredibly energetic and busy. If he's not strapped into a stroller, he just takes off. I ask everyone if their child was this busy and they all say, "I don't think so, but it's been so long I don't remember." We are constantly looking for ways to keep him physically active to burn off some of the energy.
