The last few days have been kind of crazy. I came back down to Salt Lake on Thursday morning and stopped by the hospital on the way. The nurse called the physical therapist to come talk to me as soon as I got there. Apparently Jacob only wants to look to the right (we always used to hold him so that he had to look right to see us because all of the tubes/wires wouldn't reach any other way) so he is getting a flat spot on the right side of his head. They are also worried that the muscles on one side of his neck will shorten, so physical therapy is working with him now. I got to play with him on a little mat on the ground (first time) and they showed me some things to do with him that would help.

Thursday afternoon Jeremiah and I went to the zoo with my sister-in-law and her kids. Jeremiah loves animals, so he had a lot of fun. He practically has the zoo memorized. He knew where all of the animals would be, and told us which ones he wanted to see.

We had a bunch of family over yesterday to celebrate Jeremiah's second birthday. He got tons of toys, way more than we have room for, and had a lot of fun.

Jeremiah loved his birthday cake (an excavator and dump truck) and ran around saying "happy birthday cake" all day. He didn't want to pick it up and eat it though. He just stuck his face down to the cake and took little bites.
