Santa Baby

Jace was finally able to meet Jolly Old Saint Nick this weekend. Although Santa was jolly, Jace did not quite feel the same. He did just as Mommy predicted..... sat on his lap, grabbed his beard, gave him a once over, and wanted down. It was around 5:30 after all so Jace had one thing on his mind---bed. We did get several cute pictures however.....for a fee of course. Mommy made Daddy stand in the background and get one with our camera though.

Who are you and why are you holding me??

Mommy has been quite proud of Jace's uninterest in the Chrismtas tree. He was uninterested anyway until......the presents started appearing. Once Mommy started putting those beautiful packages under there Jace could no longer contain himself. Yes, he is definitely Mommy's child. No matter how much Mommy begs though Daddy will not let Jace open a present early. Boo.
Jace has a sparkly snowman book and whenever he reads it or looks at the tree he says oowww (Wow). Very funny.

Jace has gained some new hobby's as of late--there is more to him than constant chatter. He now loves to pull the toilet paper as far as he can before he gets buried. Not so funny.

Jace loves to hear his own voice, but there is one thing (and maybe only one thing) he loves more.....eating. Mommy no longer has just one mooch (Ozzy) drooling at her feet.....Jace has joined in now too!! They both stand there and wait for handouts. As you can see this thrills Mommy.

No Jace isn't working on his calf muscles, he's peering as high as possible. Now whether this particular time he's hunting for the remote or Mommy's cell phone is unknown. He is quite the little helper though. He brings Mommy the phone and puts it to her ear. He even brought her a kleenex the other day and put it up to her nose--what a considerate young man!

Another new hobby is taking off his socks. Of course this is the funniest thing ever.....to Jace. He tries to put them back on sometimes--he does this by laying them on top of his feet. :)

It was inevitable with all that hair that Mommy would get the urge to see Mrs. Jace. Isn't she a pretty little thing?


We aren't sure why Jace is fighting the walking thing so much. He can stand if he doesn't realize he's doing it. Once he remembers, he sits down. He even walks on his knees behind his push toys. Oh Jacer.
One thing he is definitely not fighting is vocalizing. From the moment he gets up until he goes to bed, there is rarely a quiet moment. Of course this is mostly babbling but he is really starting to imitate. He will give pretty much any word a try at least once. His newest is Ozzy---it comes out a little bit like ahhhahhh. A great new word since Jace and Ozzy are BFF's!

That's all for now. Until next time..............
