Wuv U!

I have been waiting for 27 months for it and I finally got it last week! Jake decided that it was time to say "wuuuuuvvvv eewwwwww" back to me, after I have been prodding him to say it for about 12 months now. (smile)

We now have a fun routine of hug, kiss, wuv u when I leave for work in the morning and when I see him in the afternoon after work. He seems very appreciative of his newfound way to express himself and I am ecstatic about his new phrase. I will admit that the first time he said it, I teared up a bit, and I now ask him to say it multiple times a day just to make sure he doesn't forget (haha, really, it's just to hear him say it!).

And as for our little fatty, he is eating applesauce now on top of his two servings of cereal a day. He's still a little unsure of the applesauce but he seems to be getting used to it. He makes a funny little face by puckering up his lips and giving you a look like, "what the heck is this? this isn't cereal!". Next we'll try the peaches.... Jake looooved peaches; maybe his little bro will too!
