Okay so I know that I am totally inconsistent with these posts, but oh well, right!? I really love looking back to what Hallie was doing at certain ages, so I am glad I keep these.
So, I might be just a little bit obsessed with this boy. Devin probably gets sick of me saying things like, "You know who is cute? Jace." (Well, actually he now just answers "Jace" before I can even say). I just think everything he does is adorable and think he is just so stinkin' cute. Every mom feels this way about their kids I think, but I also think that he is in a really fun stage.
I don't have any height/weight updates since he won't have another appointment until he is 2, but here are a few things he is up to at this age:
He loves hats and goes around saying, "ha, ha" (hat, hat) while patting his head.
Um Nursery? Going okay. He went once and then we skipped a whole bunch of weeks because we had stake conference, a farewell, the Brigham City Temple dedication, and then he finally went once more last week. He had a harder time the second time and didn't want Devin to leave. I am hoping he adjusts a bit and becomes a lover of nursery just as Hallie was.
Love those blue eyes! Jace is still a bit of a "mama's boy" but who are we kidding? I like it.
This kid is into EVERYTHING. Can't turn my back for a moment. We have had eggs cracked on the floor recently, salt and pepper shakers dumped out more times than I can count, diaper rash cream smeared everywhere, tons of toothpaste consumed, and on and on. He really is just so busy. He sometimes tells me "show" like he wants to watch a show, but who are we kidding, that lasts about 2 seconds at most.
Sitting on top of the table is his FAVORITE thing to do. He will not sit still in his chair during meal times, but prefers to climb on up and sit on the table while he eats. It's a losing battle.
He sure loves bath time. He hops right in and lays on down for a nice relaxing bath (I know you are still jealous of the blue tub. It really is something special...)
He and Hallie play really well together most of the time. They have a lot of time with just the two of them while Flor is in school and they can be found doing all sorts of things with their spare time, including climbing into Jace's crib and pretending to nap.
This kid is also obsessed with the phone. He walks around and has conversations with who knows who. His conversation basically consists of "hello? hello? hi? blah blah blah blah blah hello?"
Jace loves to be outdoors. He especially loves dirt. He and our neighbor, Ethan, are about 6 months apart, so it is fun that they are starting to interact and play more.
Following Hallie's lead, Jacer has taken to hauling around a baby. He particularly likes pushing them in the baby stroller or play shopping cart we have, but he is not opposed to taking them with him for nap time.
Other things about Jace at 19 months:
* I feel like Jace has had a major vocabulary explosion this month. I am sure I will miss some words, but he says: hi, hello, bye bye, no-no, up, down, eat, outside, inside, handsome (my favorite), book, baby, ball, blankie, I love you (with prompting), mom, dad, Hal (for Hals), Flor, bus ( said BU-his favorite-- anything that sounds like a bus, he will shout "Bu, BU!!!), car, show, some (meaning, "I want some!"), hat, hot, cookie, Simba (his toy Simba is in his crib, thus he learned this one), phone (whenever it makes a sound, he shouts "phone, phone!"), teeth, sock, shoes, and I'm sure there's more. He still signs drink, please, and more. He also tries to repeat almost anything you ask him to-- some things more successfully than others.
*He has a little sense of humor, and a boy sense of humor at that. For example: The other day I walked into his room to get him up from his nap and it was very apparent that he had done some business in his diaper. I asked, "Jace, did you go poop?" He stood up, pointed to his bum and said, "poop! poop!" And then laughed hysterically. Oh boy...He is also a clever little thing as he will use the sign for "potty" when he has done his business and then go get a diaper and wipes himself.
*He is great at following commands and will get his shoes, bring a diaper and wipes, go get a certain toy, etc. Jace thinks he is really helpful and will bring me my shoes when he wants to go outside.
This is a little video of me trying to get him to say "I love you". He apparently wasn't having any of it as you will see. "no, no, no..." What a stinker.
