5.5 months and soooo close to 2 years


Our little man Jace...what can I say??  He is just such a cute little guy.  He's really alert and loves watching Brenna.  He's starting to want to participate a little and reaches for her to grab on.  He's still trying to sit up and even can do a little supported standing!

He is so interested in exploring his little world.  Of course, there is still a fair amount of drool and spit up on all the toys.  Brenna is so concerned with things being 'slimey' and if Jace has 'bubbles' or is 'drooly' she wants him cleaned up immediately.  Or she'll do it herself!

 She enjoyed joining him in some tummy time and tried to encourage him to enjoy himself as well. 
 
She enjoys trying out whatever Jace is doing and surprisingly she hasn't thrown too many fits if he gets to do something and she can't at that exact same time (sit in the bumbo or play with a toy).

 
Brenna is talking and singing all day now.  Last night she even sang a little 'under the sea' after watching Little Mermaid.  It is such a sweet sound.  We really try to encourage her to sing and while Nick and I are pretty self aware of our singing capabilities, we do sing with her a lot.  Just to balance it out, so she can get the tune as well as the words, I show her you tube videos of whatever song we are singing.  She's still really into Christmas songs, yesterday was Jingle Bells.  I'm not sure where she came up with it, but it was really cute!

Brenna does not like when I leave for school, but she has learned what bye bye means.  She slung her purse on and ran around the house saying 'bye bye' to me.
 
She loves to do whatever Nick is doing.  Nick was lifting weights, so Brenna had to participate as well.  She is learning to count and seems to even understand up to 3.  She is getting up to about 6 now.  It is mind blowing to watch her learn.  Amazing!
