Jaiden Didn't Like Family Pictures

Last night we went to get family pictures taken. Jaiden was not cooperative at all! He didn't seem to grasp that we wanted him to stay in one place and smile. I guess I should've anticipated this, but I was kind of caught off guard and was not expecting it.

Jaiden Eating Oatmeal!

Jaiden can eat with a spoon but he still puts the spoon into his mouth upside down. That's why we need something sticky for him to eat, like oatmeal!

Jaiden saying "Beep Beep"

Jaiden likes to push the little toy bus around and say "beep beep".

Jaiden learning how to pray

Jaiden has watched us pray at meal time and he has started to imitate us by "folding" his arms and bowing his head.

Jaiden Saying "Daddy" and Spinning

One day when I dropped Jaiden off at nursery at church, I started walking around the perimeter of the room to try to help him detach himself from me. He kept rotating to face me as I walked around the room, and then he discovered that rotating in place is a lot of fun! Now he and I both spin around together, as seen in this video. Great fun!

It's a girl!
