The lights are on and someone might be home

News Flash…  Jacob speaks English!  Well, “speak” may be an exaggeration…  But there was finally evidence of minor understanding.  It was truly shocking.

He’s shown some recognition of his name for awhile.  Last week when we were watching the disappointment that was Olympic snowboarder, Lindsey Jacobellis (is this too harsh?), Jakey’s head whipped around like it was on a string.

Then he noticed the sock monkey Kia commercial during one of the thousand Olympic commercial breaks, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBh3r2mVFR8, and James said, “Where’s your sock monkey?”  And then Jake actually got his sock monkey and said, oooh, oooh, aaaah aaaah (the monkey sound).  I was pretty skeptical of this story at the time.  Until the next day when he clearly got his ball and his rubber ducky on demand.

Sock monkey, ball, rubber ducky.  Three words I know I use on a daily basis…
