Jace and Ember

Kristin and Ember were able to spend some time at our house this past Monday before we dropped them off at the airport. It was so fun seeing the two littles playing together. Jace liked to touch Ember's face and even pinched her cheek while I was taking a picture. Flirting already! 




They both liked the same book! Ember would pretend to give it to Jace and then take it back. It was so funny. 



We can't wait to have them over to play again! 


Fun Times

I am trying to get Jace to practice picking up things with his fingers. I have put puffs and banana on his tray to see what he would do.... and... he plays with it. He hits the high chair or if he does manage to get a piece in his hand, he puts his entire fist in his mouth and can't get the food in it. We will keep working on it.


Blake came over the other day so Jenn could go get her hair cut and colored. The boys are interacting so much more now. They would stare at each other. 


Blake even "pet" Jace on the head (more like hit him)... it was pretty funny.

Weekend in Forest Lakes

This past weekend we went up to Forest Lakes. It was Jace's first time up at the cabin, and he did such a great job. He fought his naps a couple times, but he's never been a great napper, so I wasn't surprised. Other than that, he really did a great job! He loved being outside and looking around. We played in the grass, took walks, and he played in his bouncer. Matt and I brought up Bouchee Ball, and we played that every day with my parents. It was such a fun game. We can't wait for it to cool down so we can play at the park across the street from our house. It was a great weekend.

It was a great weekend spent with family. We can't wait to go back! 





Crawling! (at least trying!)

Jace has been practicing his crawling the last couple weeks. He started scooting at the end of July (a little over 6 months) and since he likes to get on all fours and rock back and forth. He's still trying to figure it out.
He loves this book! 

We practice crawling on my bed some mornings!

Big smiles when he tries to crawl to mommy.

Loving his Food!

Jace is loving his food! His current list of food is Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Peas, Plums, Bananas, Peaches, Pears, and Prunes. This week will add Green Beans and Apples.

All frozen and ready to go!
