cuties

Brenna being 'mama.' She had to have her purse (and she had to fill it with stuff) before we left. Then she needed sunglasses because it was so bright out. 

Jace has been talking more and started kissing spontaneously. "tiss, tiss" Brenna gets a lot of them, but she's been a good sport and doesn't even complain how slimey they are anymore. 

He's a good little hand-holder and will do it about 95% of the time. Of course the other 5% he's trying to run out in traffic.... He's such a tough little guy. One of our worst nightmares occurred last night and he fell onto a fire ants' mound. I grabbed him up as quickly as I could and checked him over for ants. Thankfully I only found one. He never cried or even whined and I found 2 bites on him.

He's definitely not as sensitive as Brenna. When he's being reprimanded, he rarely cries. Often times we'll see the chin wobble and the eyes fill, but he's pretty stoic. We've started 'time-outs' and while they aren't too effective yet, it gives us some time to cool down. He'll learn that they aren't fun soon enough, I'm sure. 

His speech is getting more clear. If he sees words, he gets really excited and says "Cs! Cs!" for ABCs. He tries to count a little and is better in spanish. He still says "no" when he means yes. I'll be happy when that clears up because it is pretty confusing! He's just started saying 2 word phrases. "Cars bye" Man, he LOVES his cars. We actually went to the end of our road to watch the cars at the intersection. 

Brenna is still a bit taller than he is but his feet are only 1 size smaller and his hands are pretty close to her size too!
