Jayden,

you have grown so much, in so many ways since the last time i wrote about you. you are talking a lot more and doing new things everyday. it's hard to keep up with it all.... i tell myself to write down every new thing you do, but i usually forget. you and Peyton keep me pretty busy! a few weeks ago when i told you i loved you, out of the blue i heard you say 'ooh too!'. at the time i wasn't quite sure if you meant 'i love you too' or if you were just making sounds like you usually do. SO, i said 'i love you' again and just like before, you said 'ooh too'. such a great day!youre such a sweet little boy Jayden, although i still call you my baby.you think every color is blue and you count by saying ma, ma, ma, ma, and putting your fingers up while you count. you count cars, cups, pretty much anything there is more than one of, you try counting them. yesterday i swear i heard you singing. it was so great! i am pretty sure you get most of this stuff by watching Peyton. you love to copy him and i am pretty sure you think you are just like him. you are not afraid of anything, which scares me! you love showing off and making everyone laugh. Paw Paw is still your bff. you ask about him a lot and when he's visiting you are by his side the whole time. during the day you are this big boy who wants to do everything yourself.... even though you have me wrapped around your finger, so half the time i am doing things for you. you know how to 'work' us.... either with saying MAMA or DADA a hundred times over and over, or using your cute little face to sucker us into whatever it is you need. at night and at naptime you become this little baby again. who i love and will miss dearly. you still use a lolly and still sleep in your crib. i'm not even thinking about a big boy bed yet.... or taking the lolly away for that matter. im not ready, youre not ready, and i'm not worried about it. you still love your 'ducky'.... who you ask for when youre tired. you also ask for 'bee sheshe' & your little 'sheshes'too. it is SO CUTE to see you walking around the house with all of them in your hands. you can barely see over them! youre growing up so fast little Jayden, and sometimes I still cant believe your mine.thank you for being my baby little Jay. i love you more than the world.

Mommy
