Can I claim the property taxes I paid at closing listed as initial escrow payment + the taxes I paid on the 1098 I received?

I bought a house in August 2016.  At closing I paid 236.17 listed as property taxes and I paid 2278.87 as county property taxes.  These are listed under initial escrow payment for 11 months.  I also paid 403.68 homeowners insurance(4 months) under same listing.  However, the amount on my 1098 does not show this amount. Can I claim  these amounts in addition to what is listed on my 1098.  Also, I paid 1211.02 homeowners insurance premium listed under prepaid (12 Months).  Can I claim this as well?
