Smarter by the day...!!!

Helping daddy grate cheese for grampie's homemade mac n cheese! I'm an excellent helper!

Hehehe, I can't wait for all the food I smell today!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! I'm thankful for my family and my books and all my toys!!! :)

I saw the horse on t.v in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and I ran to go get mine!!!! I can make a horsey sound, and a cow, bear, lion, elephant, doggy, cat, pig. I make fishy faces and tick tock when I see a watch/clock and vrooom when I act like a car/truck.

Daddy put my hair in a ponytail! Gosh I'm cute! I look more & more like mommy and daddy everyday! I've been grabbing it all day and saying 'hair, hair'!

Look how long my hair is getting!!!! You should hear me say water (waaderr) or bubbles! I sound soo cute!!!

Hehehehe! I put my Mr. Potato Head glasses on!! I like being silly!!!! I can be silly, but I can also be very smart! I now know and recognize every ABC and I can count/recognize every number all the way to 10!!!! I'm just starting to learn my colors (I know blue and pink), and can tell you what a circle and diamond are. I'm working on pronouncing my other shapes but can find and fit them into my shape box with little help! :)

Awwww!!! I was running back and forth around the house, like I love to do, and bumping into the couch to fall on purpose. Today I ran into the couch as usual, but my lip got caught on my tooth and I split it open!!!! I didn't cry for longer then a minute but momma freaked out when she saw all the blood!!! Daddy says she has to ge used to it cuz I'm a boy, but we all know she never will!!! I healed really fast, but I have to be reminded to slow down! :)

Halloween & more...

I like to run around with my eyes closed these days!!! hehehe Grammie says my momma used to do this all the time too, we even have pictures where I look the same as her! :)

Being silly!!!! So...I point out most of my ABC's now!!! I have little foam ABC's and I'll pick up a letter and tell you what it is!!!! The only letters I have a little trouble pointing out are G, J, M (my favorite letter is W --i say "dubbledo" haha-- so I like to turn M upside down and say W) and V (i think it looks like a Y).

Opps!!! My pants fell down!! :) (I can say "pants, socks, shoes...and boots!"...I try to spell boots too!)

Multi-tasking on the big-boy potty!!! lol I love, love to brush my teeth! I say "Teeth!!" after I put on my pj's and then go to the bathroom, pick up my step stool and set it in front of the sink. Then I stand on it and point and say "toofbrush!!!!" I say 'toofpaste' too! :)

Hehehehe, daddy made me whiskers and mommy put a nose on me! I'm the cutest lion ever, huh?!! On the way to get treats at the mall...(it's too cold outside)! :)

Going potty before we go out trick-or-treatin!!!

Cheeeese!!!!! I mean, ROOOOAAARRR!!!! Mommy taught me how to roar like a lion, I put my little hand up like a claw and rooooaaarrrrr!!!! lol

Playing with my hot-wheels cars! These are my favorite toys lately...I have a collection of over 40 cars so far!!! I love to count them, I can count up to 5 all by myself!!!! (my family thinks I'm a genius!) Momma got me a car carrier for my cars, when I want to play with them I say, "cars...open, peease" I'm very polite, I say ''tank you'' and ''welcome''...I even say, "bess you" everytime someone sneezes!!!

I just pooped on the potty!!!!! wooohooo!!! :) I'm getting better and better at it! Of course I sometimes have accidents in my pull-up, but for the most part I can start wearing big boy undies! :)

Jaylen's first weeks in Alaska!!!!

Today i peed on the potty all by myself!!!!!!! For the very first time!!!! Me, mommy and grammie have been trying for only three days! mommy put me on right after my nap today and we pushed it out and went!!!!! (this pic is of me puuuushing it out!) haha mommy tells me, "push...arrgh," and i did!!!!! SOOOO EXCITING!!!!!!! what a BIG BOY!!!!! (mommy cried) lol
