This is a very cool pic of Elvis with a Fender Precision bass. This pic gets a lot of love in the bass-playing community!

Some more fun words from young Jakey
"Dace" = Grace, Mel's good friend
"Sissy Dance" = Mel's dance studio
"paygow" = playground
"pasha" = pasta, his favorite food
"fietuck" = fire truck
"Iceytruck" = Ice Cream Truck, one of which he has yet to see live in person. But he has seen lots of pictures in books!
"Bus stop" = school bus. He is still working on the difference between the bus and the bus stop. Interchanges them when referencing them in a sentence.
Identifiable if not perfectly articulated words include:
cookie
juice (pronounced very slowly and deliberately so he gets it right, very cute to watch him say!)
pancake
waffle
school bus
sorry
come on, as in "come with me!"
"taa daa" with big raised hands, one straight over his head, and the other aimed at whatever he is referencing, for purposes of introducing whatever he is presenting when he says it. Also very cute. He does this for dinner. "Sissy, come on, dinner!" Then when she gets there, he gives a big taa daa with the hand gestures. Gets us laughing every time!
whip cream
pizza

Jacob vocab cont'd
More fun words from our big guy.
"Lie-kee-KEE" = Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars
"Hoo hoo truck" = ambulance/firetruck
"A-yah" (say the letter "A" and add "ya")= Aiden (baby brother)
"Kie" prounced like Cry without the "r"
Fog sounds like the f-bomb. Its Mom's favorite right now.
Also we had a good laugh when Aiden surprised us the other day and rolled across the room, onto Melanie's homework, and proceeded to drool all over it. A new twist on the dog eating the homework. Melanie's teacher understood and was very gracious about the whole thing.

Jacob's talk at 26 months (Jacob-saurus
I've been wanting to do this for a while. We have been getting lots of video of the kids, especially since Aiden was born, but I wanted to document the fun and cute things that Jacob says now, especially since his speech advances quickly the older he gets. Here is a glimpse at some of his words that we hear the most.
Today for the first time I heard him say "dog" when referring to his best friend, Blue Doggie. BD used to be known simply as "woof."
"Massey" = paci(fier)
"Shhhhooshe" - his painstakingly articulated and very deliberately executed attempt at "juice." This is one of my favorites, mostly because it takes him so long to get it out. He has to slowly form his mouth, then gently push that first "sh" out. I think he goes so slowly with it because he is trying to say the "j" sound each time. He just has not figured out how yet.
"Shoosh" a quicker version of "juice," this time it means "shoes."
"Shews" is his word for "Jews." Ok, I am kidding about that one.
"Sissy" for Melanie, who also is known as "Meh," not to be confused with his word for Mommy, which is "Ma."
"Boo Foo" is Blues Clues
"Shoo shoo" is train ("choo choo"). His current favorite books are all Thomas The Tank Engine, and he loves anything train-related on TV.
"Mice" is mess, one of his most frequently recited words. He is a very neat 2 year old. Sometimes.
"Bice" is bus. Another frequent word, particularly when in the car.
"Chuck" is truck, the word that is used for all non-bus vehicles on the road. He will get car sooner or later I am sure...
My all time favorite so far as to be his word for chocolate. "Ca-ca." I rolled on the floor for days when I first heard him use that one! Of course, now we all have adopted this word when asking for or referring to chocolate.
"Ah-mo" is Elmo, of course. His favorite TV character. He has not really come up with a word for Barney, but he still loves the episodes we recorded for him 2 years ago.
"Miwk" is milk
"Yan-yee" is Landry, our cat
"Ah-ga" is a word he used both for our neighbor Audrey (one of Melanie's best friends) as well as Ah-ga's younger sister Juliette, another good friend. Juliette is a good sport and tries to help Jacob learn her name. She takes it well that for now she had to share a name with Ah-ga. Now Jacob is able to say "Ju-ju" for Juliette, and Audrey is now just plain "Audrey."
"Ba-oon" is balloon
"Do-Do" is Diego, one of his favorite TV shows.

Jacob at almost 21 months
These days he likes to hold a tissue to his nose, covering his mouth, and spit into the tissue, mimicking the sound that is made when a person blows their nose. it is hysterical! He also loves to say "whoa" when something impresses him, like his sister's makeup for the Nutcracker show this weekend.
