Our little June Bug!

June29

Well since June is coming to an end I thought I better post some highlights from this month. We’ve been busy having fun!

 

Jace has grown so much in the last few months. I don’t see him as a baby anymore. He’s so independent with everything he does. He wants to walk down the stairs to the car on his own. He has to step out the back door on his own, everything!

 

He’s so loving also! He kisses all the time. The best time is at bedtime when I’m holding him in his room telling him goodnight. He’ll turn his head and kiss me on the neck. Makes me never want to put him down! He’s so sweet.

 

He’s really starting to talk in sentences now. And babble on and on about who knows what. He’ll say things like “Oh My!” and “Oh Gosh!” But his favorite is still “WOW!”

 

We’re been busy trying to fit in as much fun as we can this summer. As a family we went to the zoo at the end of May and rode the train in early June. Last week we went to French Lick to see Dadda at work and then went to the Circus. It was pretty fun. Jace still can’t sit for long periods at a time, but did pretty good when the animals came out. Jace and Dadda love to play hide and seek…okay Dadda hide and Jace Seek. But Jace is getting too good, he knows all Dadda’s hiding places.

 

We’re still having play group with Jill on Tuesday afternoons. We’ve added a new friend named Winnie. Last week we to Jill’s Grandma’s house and made cookies and walked down the road to see horses and cows. Jace tried to climb in with the cows!

 

I’ve been trying to loss my “baby fat” so Jace and I have been going out for morning walks. And then once we’re done we stop at the playground to play. The other day I took him to the city pool. He loved it! Once in saw the slide it was all over…nothing else would do. Around the second curve on the slide we would start kicking his feet, ready for the bottom! Then as soon as I would put him on the pool side he would take off running for the stairs again. I would tell him to walk. He’d get out look at me and say “Walk” walk two steps and then run. He couldn’t wait to do it again!

 

He still loves the Wiggles! Today I went down to the movie rental place and we got two Wiggle movies to watch for the week. He danced around the living room and when it was over he would say “Please” over and over until we turned it on again! I’m thinking about making him a Wiggle for Halloween this year.

Earlier in the month we went to Holiday World. Jace didn’t care for the rides but loved the water park.

A few times I’ve babysat for my cousins two girls and Jace has so much fun playing with Tess. The last time we played with the pool and they had a blast!! I put the slide in the pool and they had their own little water park!!

Crazy thing is, that the night before I had a dream that Jace got in the Tub and burned himself with the hot water…and then this happened. I kept making sure that he didn’t turn on the hot water. I never let him touch it at bath time so I think he knows. And yes there is a gate in front of the bathroom door but he pulled it down.

 

This past weekend my cousin Andrea got married. And once again Jace was caught Kissing the girls!! Later these two girls were fighting over who got to dance with Jace next. And Jace just played hard to get and walked away!

Mamaw and Papaw watched Jace before the wedding since I was doing the photography. Mom later asked why he kisses so much! LOL Maybe I kiss him too much!

 

On Tuesdays Spencer comes over for the day. Last week him and Jace found something in common…they both like to listen to music. Here they both are with their ear pieces in listening to music: (Click to watch)

This is Jace’s Favorite place to sit at breakfast time. He’ll ask for something to eat and he’ll go over to his chair to eat. It’s so cute!

Here we are on the Train during Old Jasper Days at the Old Train Depot. The Strawberry Fest was also going on so we walked down there while we waited for our turn on the train and we had Strawberries and Ice Cream. On the train they had live music and Jace danced in the middle!

Mamaw went with us to see Dan Zanes in Concert. It was pretty fun to see someone in person after watching them on Playhouse Disney all these months. I hope the Wiggles come near us soon, Jace would love to go see them live!

 

It’s kinda hard to see Jace and Mamaw in the video, but they are in the middle there dancing: (click to watch)
