Jace is 9 months!!

I love how you sleep on your belly with your butt up in the air, how you wake up and pull up to your crib side and cry until I come to pick you up, how you shake your head "no" and giggle, your fast crawl away from Carsen because you think he is chasing you, your beautiful voice that loves to say "ga ga ga" "ma ma" "di di da" and blow air across your tongue, how you eat your cheerios and self feed yourself, how you pull and my pant leg when you want up and just need a snuggle, the way you hold your bottle, you cute steps...oh how I love what you have become!  You are my sweet little boy that needs a lot of attention and stimulation.




You love to say "SO BIG"

Jace 8 Months

Wildman, Jaceroo, Jaceman, Jacerace, Jumper Jace, Punky poo, Jacers...he has molded into our family well.  He crawls and he can crawl fast...sometimes so fast, he trips on his hand, stumbles and gets right back up again.  His favorite game, chasing Carsen, and then crawling away from Carsen like he is being chased by the biggest brother a kid could have.  The giggles that come out of this kid when he is playing with Carsen.  He gets put into a head lock pretty often by big brother and tolerates it better than I would.  Two teeth!  Eating all solid foods! Love tator tot hot dish, strawberries, cheerios, bananas, peas, applesauce and muffins.  Loves to babble da da da di di di and now ma ma ma.  His favorite time of day is when he gets to read books with Carsen.  Sometimes, I just stand in the doorway, peeking in on them, as I watch Carsen be the best brother he can try to be, by turning the pages and talking to Jace.  They play in there for at least an hour at a time with each other.

I love his sweet boy look...




The back of his hair is curly and I just love the curls and can't wait for them to get longer!


Smiles...he throws the sweetest smiles up at me all day long and feel so loved!


They play all day together! My favorite think Jace does now is crawls up to anything and everything, pulls on my pant leg, crawls up on me when we are playing, back and forth, over and over!


Jace gets to go on a field trip with Carsen.  He is perfect and loves being outside!


Grabs at everything!!!


He even decided to sleep all night last night, oh my was that a blessing but a terrible feeling at the same time.  Why does a mother always think something is wrong the first night they do that? I sent Matt in his room to make sure he was breathing, and I held my breath until I found out he was okay.  Thankful he wants to sleep some!
