(I realize I might be the only one that thinks these are funny!)
While he is crying, he will wail phrases such as "I'm CRYING!!!" "I'm really sad!" It's pitiful but it does make me laugh. It's a great tension diffuser. If I was mad, these dramatic and obvious statements usually make me laugh and then we can move on.
On that note, once I am able to get him to stop crying, he will do this silly fake smile through his tears and say things like "I'm happy!" "I'm smiling!" But he really mostly looks like he is still crying and possibly in pain.
The fact that he feels like he needs to narrate his emotions in real time cracks me up.
Whenever we ask Jacob to do anything and the answer is yes, he says "Oh, of course." He hardly ever just says yes.
He has gotten really into surprises and celebrations. Anytime he does something nice for me, he yells "Happy Birthday" when I see it. I have also gotten "Happy New Year" a couple of times. He also pronounces surprise like "for-prise." So, I might get "Forprise! Happy birthday happy new year!!!" Usually my forprise is a block tower.
Everything is Jacob's "faborite" now. Whenever we are out somewhere, he finds the dinkiest little toys and begs me to get it for him. "Peeease mommy it's my faborite!!" He also uses this tactic at home when asking for his faborite popsicle, etc. He thinks loving something that much justifies an undisputed yes.
He thinks toots are really funny. Surprise! or should I say Forprise? He has lately gotten very specific and will identify what kind of toot he just did based on what he has been eating. This started one day in the car. He was drinking a milkshake and let out a little toot, then yelled "Milk TOOTS." This has since evolved into blueberry toots, rice toots, etc. Milk toots are his faborite though and they can occur from drinking milkshakes, eating cereal or anything else involving milk. I know this one is somewhat gross but hey, he is a boy and ____ toots is part of our daily vocab lately.
He really cracks me up. He is talking in complete sentences although it is sometimes difficult to understand what he is saying. He cuts the S off the beginning of all S words (ex: sticky = ticky) He can say his full name pretty well but pronounces Awbrey as Obby. He has also told me before that his name is Jacob Lucy Obby (his middle name is Luke, Lucy is our dog in case that is not clear) or Milk Toots Obby.

My "faborite" is the toots! I was cracking up reading about them all! He is such a funny, sweet little boy.
Haha - I cracked up reading this. SO cutes! I have to agree, my "faborite" is the toots, too. Ashton says, "of course" when we ask him to do something and I think it's the cutest thing! I love that Jacob narrates his cries and smiles, SO funny!
