Our Lil Tazmanian

Merry (late) Christmas and Happy New Year!


Jayden has a special way of going through the house - and leaving a nice little mess trail behind him. I can always tell where he's been by things that are out of its place. He LOVES to pull the pillows off the couches, the blankets off the back of the couches, dump the dog food and/or water from the dog bowls, the books (as many as he can get to and reach), spreading Padfoots toys all over the front room, empty the diaper bag which sits on a chair by the back door, jars, lids and Tupperware from the bottom drawers in the kitchen, all the kid cups and water pitchers from the drawer and cupboard that is of course in his reach, and then scattering everything that he possibly can in the play room. lol. I almost feel like all I do anymore is go around the house cleaning up behind him ;)


Our little man has started to master walking :) He is getting more and more confident and brave everyday - taking more and more steps at once. The farthest he's gone so far I think it 8 or 9 feet - pretty impressive for a 10 1/2 month old I think! The kids (the Tart kids) keep asking that if Jay is walking good enough by his birthday if we're still gonna go to Charlie Safari ... I told them no and that we'll probably go next year for his 2nd b-day when you can be there. I want him to be able to play in all the toys and everything with you :)


There are 2 chairs that we keep by the back door and he loves to stand in front of them and push them along - anywhere he might be wanting to go. Its so cute. He loves to do that with the vacuum too when its out. He used to do it with a little toy shopping cart, but he hasnt used that often anymore. He LOVES to play in Padfoots kennel too. I don't know why, but he does. He will crawl in there and then play with the gate/door and just talk and talk and talk. Its so cute. I thought it was so funny.


His vocabulary is also growing. As you know he can say mama and dada, and I swear I heard him say "bye" last night. We were at the store and the clerk was just in love with him so when we were leaving I told Toots to "say bye bye" which usually he just waves, but he started waving and i Swear I heard him say "byyyyeee". I was shocked. Totally excited, but shocked :) He is also getting to where he likes to feed himself. If I feed him something and he thinks he could've done it better, he will spit it out, and then grab the same thing, (but a different slice usually) and put it in his mouth again. Little terd ;) just likes to defy mommy already, and hes not even a year old!


He LOVES to play with the little bear your mom got him for Christmas. It has a couple of songs on there and he has even started "dancing" when he hears them. He also claps his hands when he hears the "paddy cake" song. It is SO gosh darn cute. Jared and Marcus also got a soft rubber bowling set, and he LOVES to steal the pins from them when they play. They get mad at him, but I think its hillarious and just laugh :) hehe, I know, evil right? 


 


Well I should get going. I hope you have/had a good day and I'm sure I'll talk to you soon! I hope you liked all the pictures this time!! I LOVE YOU! xoxoxoxoxoxo
