Stick a fork in us...............We're Done!!

Summer has officially arrived for Jace and Mommy! Mommy has enjoyed the latter part of the day engrossed in a steamy romance novel----this is the life! If severe weather ever leaves Jace's neighborhood the tons of fun waiting to be had will begin! Until then Jace and Mommy are just enjoying having extra spare time!

This is how we feel about summer being here!

Jace has been catching up on some reading as well...........

This kid seriously spends half of his days looking at books (the other half is spent pushing his cars around).

Jace's obsession with shoes continues--Mommy will say it again---He is a DIVA! He was bound and determined the other day to wear his size 3 cowboy boots from last fall. First of all, he is pretty close to a size 5 now. Second of all, it is 85 degrees outside and he is NOT going to wear cowboy boots. Yeah right---and now imagine a 17-month-old child throwing himself on the floor, screaming as if he is being stabbed! Please note: Mommy did win this battle and the cowboy boots will be hidden to avoid future confrontation! Back to the picture at hand: Jace decided if he couldn't wear the boots he would put them on Daddy. Hmmmm, do those come in a 13?

Jace is insistent that he is going to walk up stairs the 'big boy' way. The problem lies in the fact that he has short little legs that won't allow it. Recently Jace has been displaying some of what Mommy likes to call 'Keenaness' (referring to Jace's fearless cousin Keenan) and throwing caution to the wind. On this particular day at the park, Jace did fairly well, as he had something to hold on to.


And finally, Jace has now had his 6th---yes 6th haircut in 5 months! He seriously could be a celebrity child with the long, flowing locks those little boys love if we so desired. Jace looks much better with the shorter disheveled look though---people are still constantly telling him "My hair looks that way too after I've just woken up". Mommy smiles politely and gives herself a mental reminder to use just a little more gel next time!
