This post is a month and a half late but it's here now!
Our handsome little dude turned two!!!
The picture was taken a few days before his birthday. We celebrated at Trail Canyon park with all our Henderson "PA family" before we moved to Washington on the 13th (story for another post)... We also celebrated at Grandma Hill's on his actual birthday, and he got basketball hoop from Mom and Dad!
This munchkin is growing up too fast and pretty soon he won't be the baby anymore. We love him to the moon and back, and I he's going to make a great big brother.
Here are his favorites, fun facts, and stats for his 2nd year of life:
-weight: 28 lbs
-height:
-favorite toys: still obsessed with cars but has recently taken interest in trains, trucks, and planes as well. Big, fuzzy "goggie" (dog).
-favorite foods: cuties (little oranges), welch's fruit snacks, toasted bagels, pretty much all fruit.
-favorite color: blue (but he still thinks everything is blue)
-favorite thing to do outside: ride his balance bike
-favorite friend: "my mom" (and we're pretty sure he misses his Brynn friend, and he also loves his cousin Baiden!)
-favorite primary song: "boat song" (aka Nephi's Courage verse 2)
-other favorite song: Wheels on the Bus, and "Ah Ah" (aka "if all the raindrops were...")
-favorite movies: "Lightning" and "Buzz" (aka Cars and ToyStory)
-favorite thing to do with Lainee: jump around on the couches, play hide and seek
-Jace has finally started talking like crazy over the last couple of months. He speaks in full sentences (but good luck understanding a lot of it!), and we're all loving his personality coming out more and more.
-He's started sleeping in the toddler bed when he was about 17 months.
-Jace loves nursery at church and has since he started going at 18 months. There are always cars and trucks there!
-He was 100% day and night potty trained by the beginning of October (so he was about 21 ish months old)! We had to bribe him with a new truck toy with "beeps" (aka buttons). It's noisy but it was worth it!
-He still loves to swim and jump in to dad even though we don't live in the heat anymore and won't get to swim so much. He just uses Grandma's hot tub or whatever works.
-This boy is still climbing on anything and everything, although it's not as scary for Mom as it was when he couldn't even walk but ended up at the top of the playground!
-Jace is learning a lot of new things but has zero interest in learning his shapes, letters, numbers, etc... But that's okay, he's got a while.
-He is constantly trying to ride things, fly things, do handstands against the furniture, come down the stairs upside down, and of course to jump off of things!
-He's got facial expressions for everything, including a great scowl, which sometimes doesn't mean he's mad. Just serious, or to tease us!
-All four of Jace's 2-yr-old molars came in last month and we didn't even realize it until they cut! He did have sore ears a couple of days but we didn't know why. Anyway, he's got a mouth full of teeth!
-He uses the word "cake" to describe cookies, pancakes, cake, waffles, muffins, banana bread, and anything of the like. (Even though he can say the words).
-Since we've moved, Jace has been missing his house and bed and warm weather. For a few weeks, every night at bed time he would say "mine room gone." In a sad voice, and refused to call his new room "his." He's getting used to it now though.
Anyway, it's been a super fantastic fun year with this guy and we could not be more grateful to have the best son ever!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACE!!!
