Jacen at 21 months....

I can't believe how fast this child is growing. Right in front of my eyes. He is certainly like a sponge at this age. There is so much that he is doing that just has me in awe sometimes.

The other day I asked him if he would like to take a short nap so that he wouldn't be grouchy later, he turns and says "I'll be nice" and I say "oh yea, you will be nice?" He says "yep" and he wasn't fibbing either. The whole day he wasn't fussy at all! I am just amazed at the rate he is learning and the things he is doing.

Tonight we were in his room getting ready to put him to bed and he gets out his blocks and starts counting just like I do when we are playing with them. He counted all the way to 9. (with very little help from me.) I was just in awe.

He still loves to read. He loves to color, draw and paint. He just soaks up everything!

He is saying so much right now I can't even begin to tell you all that he is saying, because his vocabulary is large right now. He is just now starting to form small sentences.

He is wearing 18 month clothes and still wearing size 5 shoes (about to graduate to size 6)
He is now falling asleep in his bed (the jumpy retired about a month ago.) and usually takes about 15 minutes to fall asleep. He normally sleeps till 7:30 or 8.

He is still not really aware that he is going to have a little brother or sister. We mention it every now and again but he isn't aware. He says baby all the time, so maybe that's his way of being aware of it. I'm not sure.

I love this boy so much! I am so thankful that God put him in our lives. He has brought us so much joy and love.
