19 Months Old

Well, our little man is another month older. He is slowly starting to add some new words to his vocabulary such as "oh no," "apple" (app-oh), "open" (obeh), and "grandpa" (papa). We have also noticed that he will try to say other words sometimes, so this is very exciting and shows that his language is finally starting to take off. He can also sign the words "clean up" and "stop." Another new thing he likes to do is scream at the top of his lungs, which is not very amusing when he's doing it in the middle of Target.
Naptime has been going really well, although he usually just falls asleep in the car on the way home from errands or another morning activity. Bedtime is also going well, but he still wakes up once most nights. We still bring him into our bed then, but we've decided that once he turns two he won't be allowed in our bed anymore.
We're still having a lot of fun going to different activities during my time off. We got to go to Disney in the middle of June, which Jacob loved. Once we got back we picked back up with our weekly storytimes and local activities. On Mondays we go to storytime at the library, Tuesday we started having music class downtown, and on Thursdays we go to Stroll & Sign. It's fun to have these activities to look forward to each week. We also got to go to the Children's Museum in Bloomington and visit the  Riverfront Museum for fireworks on the Fourth of July. It's been a lot of fun seeing Jacob explore new things and learn.
I guess that's about it for this month. Our little buddy is getting so big!
