Geesh people, it has really only been 5 days but apparently 4.5 days too long. Mommy has been "gently" reminded many times that an update is overdue. So, here it is.
There really isn't much to say actually. Jace had a nice 'get back into it' week as he only had to get up for daycare 2 days. The kid loves his sleep......at night. Napping is still another story, but one that Mommy has nearly given up on. Jace also had his 2-year checkup last week. News on the 'how tall will he be' front is a little sobering. Jace measured in at a whopping 34 inches tall. First, Mommy must remind everyone that late growth spurts (think post-high school) run in Daddy's family. Also, Jace was supposed to stand against a wall to get measured. Surely he was crouching a little....right? So anyway, he was in the 35th percentile for height. He weighed 27 lbs. which also surprised Mommy. She had weighed him several times at home and had gotten over 28 lbs. each time. Guess she better start subtracting a little when she weighs herself!

Jace's first day back at daycare after break. He was reluctant to go in for...oh 5 seconds.

Daddy had his work Christmas party on Saturday night. Let's just say Jace put on a show. He danced....alone. Ran around....alone. Laughed....alone...well actually he had plenty of others laughing at him as well. Finally, he just laid down in the middle of the dance floor and started sucking his thumb. Mommy picked him up and he said 'no, down, nigh nigh'. Mommy put him down again only to watch him return to his position in the middle of the floor. What a ham!

Aunt Erin gave Jace this ABC puzzle/mat for his birthday and he loves it. His favorite letter is still the 'y' but he will play with the others on occasion.

Sunday, Mommy, Daddy, and Jace decided a road trip was in order and went to meet Nana for lunch and a trip to the kiddie museum. After eating and meeting some friends at the mall, it was decided shopping would suffice. The museum is being saved for a later date.

Upon entering Gymboree, Jace spotted 2 kids watching tv. He literally moved their stuff from the chair next to them and sat down. He was pretty funny doing whatever they did while he watched tv.

And of course, what trip to the mall is complete without a car/stroller/death trap. The death trap portion could be eliminated with a driver other than Daddy. Lets just say he has been watching too much NASCAR.


Well folks, there you have it. More of our exciting world! Mommy will surely try to update again before another......gasp......5 days!
