The Picarelli Family Grows!: February 2010

I have been fighting off morning sickness this month, and though it is not as bad as my first pregnancy, it is definitely there! Jake has been such a good boy despite having a tired and sick mommy! He is working on using his utensils for eating (still needs some help unless we are prepared for a BIG mess!), and learning new words. He can say "please," and we encourage him to say it often! Other favorites are "star, moon, ball, blanket, balloon, and elephant." We are definitely seeing more signs of the inevitable terrible two...more tantrums and limit testing for sure! Jake is particularly interested in coloring with crayons (and really enjoys coloring on everything except paper), wrestling with daddy, reading books, sorting shapes, stacking blocks, and helping mommy clean the house (he is fascinated by the vacuum cleaner and spray bottles!). Overall, we have had a great start to the new year!
