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! :)
