Daddies the Champion and Sweet Kisses :)

Brandon has pretty much brain washed Jay into thinking "Daddy is the Champion!!" and every time Brandon gets the chance, he looks at Jay and says "Who's the champion Jay?" and Jay will always reply "Daddy!!". The other day Jay asked me very nicely to make him some chocolate milk so I agreed to. When I was done, I held the sippy cup up and asked him "Who's the champion?" to which he replied "Daddy!" of course. I said "No, Jay, who's the champion?" and again he said "Daddy!". I lightly laughed, shook the sippy cup and said "No, Jay, who really is the champion?" to which he replied "Mommy!". I laughed, gave him a kiss and said "That's right!" and gave him his sippy cup. He took a drink and then said "Daddies the champion!". I laughed, took the sippy cup away from him and said "Jay! who's the champion!?" And he said "Daddy!". I said "No, lets try this again, who's the champion?" to which he replied this time "ME!". I laughed and smiled at him and said "Yeah, that works too" and gave him back his sippy cup. He took another drink, looked at me, gave me a sly smile and said "Daddies the champion!". I seriously couldn't help but laugh and said "You traitor, get out of here" and he just laughed the whole way out of the kitchen, haha.

This evening after dinner, Jay and Bella were sitting under the grill side by side, just sitting there being cute little kids when Brandon looks over and says "look at Bella". We all look over just in time to see Bella with kissy lips leaning towards Jayden. Davidson (Bella's daddy) yells "BELLA! Stop it!!" and both littles look over at us with a surprised look on their faces. Nicky told Jay to let Bella kiss him and he says "NO! No kisses!" And jumps up and starts running away. All us parents just started laughing, it was seriously TOO funny!!

Brandon & Davidson decided to have some "guy time" this evening and play video games. Jay of course wanted to play also but Brandon told him no, but that he could play games on his phone as long as I sat near him and made sure he didn't delete any of his apps. So Jay came into the kitchen as I was doing dishes from dinner, and asked if he could play games on daddies phone. I told him yes, but that I needed to finish the dishes first and then he could play. He replied "ok mommy" and then just stood there. I cleaned a plate or two and then looked over at him and said "Jay, what are you doing?" and he said "Waiting for you mommy". I smiled at him and said "aww, Jay, are you being my patient little boy?" and he said "big boy, mommy, I'm big!" :) He definitely is my big boy! So then he started asking me if I was done after every dish I cleaned so I had him start helping me by putting stuff away or throwing things in the trash, and you could see that little twinkle in his eye because he was being helpful. I honestly love that! Now let's just hope he keeps that attitude up and continues to be my patient BIG boy! :)

Last Bite is *MINE!*

Let me pre-face this with this little fact: Brandon is *always* trying to steal the last bite of whatever Jay and I have all the time. It doesn't matter what it is, or if Brandon even knows what it is, it doesn't matter. If it's the last bite, he *will* try and steal it from us.

Saturday night Brandon made some *amazing* steaks for dinner. And surprisingly, Jayden was ALL about them. He ate probably a third of my steak before he finally decided he was full. Now these steaks were a pretty good size. Brandon still had about 1/2 his steak left over and I still had about 1/4 of my steak left over when we were all done.

Sunday afternoon Brandon decides he wants his left over steak for lunch. So he heats it up, sits at the table and starts to eat it. Jayden, being the little birdy that he is, see's daddy eating his lunch and askes him if he can have some. Brandon gave him a couple bites, I think partially expecting him to go away afterwards. Brandon was just about to eat the last bite. He was finishing chewing the bite that was in his mouth and was just about to eat it. It was on his fork and everything, when Jay runs up from behind him, snatches it off his fork and puts it in his mouth and runs off to the corner in the front room! Brandon just sat there, mouth gaping open, couldn't believe what Jay had just done. He looks over at me, tells me what happened and I just started busting up laughing. 

All I could say was "Way to go Jay!" and have him give me a high five! Hahaha!

Whoops ... dropped the ball again ...

Well said by my friend Hope ... "Once Again -- I've completely dropped the ball on keeping up with this blog. It seems my days are spent in small increments... increments that a quick Facebook status update can fill, but a blog entry intimidates. (*sigh*)" So lets see ... what the best way to update whats happened ...

A couple of funny things Jay has said or done in the last month ....

Jay and I were over at Allyson's house and they were wrestling on her bed when Ally took off one of Jay's socks. Jay looks at her and with a somewhat shocked look on his face says "Hey duuude! That's MY sock!" ... totally made us giggle a little bit.

Jay cracked 8 eggs into our salad bowl and when I walked into the kitchen to see what he was getting into, he looks at me with a sparkle in his eye and says "I'm cooking mom!" ... Havent decided if hes a baker like his mommy, or a chef like his daddy. I guess time will tell!

Bella, the little girl that is living with us (with her parents as well, obviously) was crying and throwing a fit about something in the front room while Jay and I were in the kitchen baking peanut butter cookies for daddy, when out of no where Jay yells "BELLA! Stop it!" and then growls/grunts under his breath. I seriously couldn't help but laugh! He sounded just like his daddy right then!

Bella was sitting on the couch with her dad and Jay came up to her, and asked her if she wanted to run. Bella looked at him like he was crazy and Jay says "run! Watch!" and started running circles around the dining room table. He came back and said "Bella, wanna run!?" with expectant little eyes and an open mouth like he was all excited. She jumped down and started running around the table with him. She's a little bit shorter then Jay so it's cute to see her try to keep up with him :)

I was laying on the bed one morning with my hands on my tummy when Jay walked in. He climbed up on the bed and asked "mommy, what are you doing?". I explained to him that his baby sister was moving around a lot that morning and that I could feel her every now and then. I then asked him if he would like to feel her move. He looked at me like I was crazy and moved about as far away from me on the bed as he could and said "eeewww, no!". I laughed and then tried to explain to him that once upon a time he was also in mommies tummy and he gave me that "You're crazy" look again and "Nooo. Not me!"

Jayden has the whole "awwww" thing down to a T ... tone, inflection of voice and everything! It's so gosh darn cute! Any time that it can be used, he uses it. And every time it surprises me at how well he uses it!

Brandon and I took Jay to "Month of the Military Child Celebration" at a park on base. Jay was so excited to see the fire trucks and ride a Polizei motorcycle and jump in the big jumpy houses. I asked him if he wanted to get his face painted and got SO excited and said "YEAH!" So he and I went to the face painting tent. After waiting in line for about 10 minutes it was finally our turn. Jay was a little nervous about having something put on his face so he looks at me and says "You first mommy". I wasnt planning on getting anything painted on my face, but I figured "eh, what can it hurt? At least it can show Jay that it doesnt hurt" so I got a little butterfly painted on my face. Once it was done I told Jay it was his turn. He looks at me, looks at the lady who was doing the painting and says "ummm, on my arm. not my face". Little stinker ... so he got a snake painted on his arm instead. It was very cute though :)

I'm sure there has been more that he has said or done this month and a half but this pregnancy brain is really kicking my butt. I can't seem to remember much of anything lately! haha. So I will *really* try my best to remember to blog things AS THEY HAPPEN! :)
