jace diaries

Just wanted to do a little post on Jace. He is quickly turning into a little boy. (Most of the time) I love this stage. It has been fun to be able to interact with him. Even though he won't remember the things we did this summer I love seeing the joy that he gets from doing them. He definitely keeps us on our toes.

At 23 months and 2 days Jace can:
talk in mostly understandable complete sentences (he blows me away with some of things that he comes up with like using the word yet and my favorite, "mom, i missing one flip-flop")
can unlock the deadbolt and open the front door (and all the other doors for that matter)
flush the toilet and open the tube of toothpaste
knows what each ball is and how to use it
say the blessing on the food (with a little bit of help)
sing "eensy weensy spider"
in his own words: "swing like a monkey" (one of his favorite things to do at the park - hang from a bar)
recognize and name people in pictures (even if he hasn't seen them for awhile - he's got a great memory)
jump off the diving board and swim with floaties

So it is harder than I thought to come up with things at the moment. I know there is a lot more I could write. Maybe I'll think of some more later when I don't have anything to write it down with (that's usually what happens to me).
