                                                         April 14th Jaerick turned TWO!

A few things about our BIG BOY!
* When Jaerick plays with us and he is having fun he’ll tell us “My Fend?” ( My Friend?) Like it’s a question. He does it because Tim always tells him he is his best friend. So cute!

* He is starting to be a little better at eating. It isn’t so much that he is picky more that he doesn’t care to sit and eat. I’ve noticed though if he helps me make the meal he is more interested in trying it out.

* He has started having nightmares. Not sure why ( maybe he scared obsession) but we are trying a few tactics to get rid of them. ( Any suggestions are welcome!)

* He LOVES watch CARS and FROG ( Leapfrog Movie)

* He LOVES to “Shake it” (Dance) Its what he says when music comes on! He is REALLY into Dancing though I love it and its so adorable!

* He is a big outside baby and I can’t wait to start taking him swimming!

* His baths usually last at least an hour long! My little Fishy!

* He is such a little helper! He has his own cleaning supplies ( squirt bottle with water, scrubby brush, sponge, rags and his own broom and dust pan) and loves to get out his little bucket to help mommy!

* Ever since Papa T.J. (my dad) got a motorcycle and Daddy got one Jaerick has loved them! He always has his motorcycles in hand!

* He loves going to the park and riding his bike.

* He is still our little “shorty”. He hasn’t grown much at all. He is so thin compared to before but I think its just a phase.

* When you ask Jaer how old he is he hold up one finger on each hand and says “ I TWO!” its ADORABLE!

* Funniest thing the other day my Mom and I were telling Jaerick everyone’s names and he would repeat them. So the next day we were going to the store and he said No I go wit GaMa. I said No we are going to the store THEN we will go with Grandma. He says No I wan Beckie. It was SO funny!

* Daddy has many names :: Daddy, Dad, TIM, BABE and fiend ( friend) I love when he says Tim it is the cutest thing ever! And when he calls for him and says BABE! ( That‘s what I say) So funny!

* He is doing really well with babies. He loves to be the little helper with our friends kids its adorable.

* When he wants to go outside he goes to the door and knocks and pretends someone is there! When I open the door he asks “I go outside?” Little sneak!

* I swear to you he has an imaginary friend. His imagination is huge. When he plays he acts like he is talking to someone else. Its so cute. He will be playing and tell them “NO I show you“. Then he acts like he is showing them something. He’ll act like he is racing them when he runs down the hallway too. It is seriously the cutest thing. I remember my imaginary friend so I wouldn’t doubt if that’s what he has.

* He loves hearing scary stories or watching scary things…. Like cars the scene where they go Tractor Tippin’! We had to stop the scary for a while because he started having nightmares but he is always picking the little monster stories.

* He loves reading. Many times throughout the day he brings me books to read. Its so funny though because when I am busy I’ll tell him to read the book to mommy while I do whatever. So he will sit by where I am and go page by page gibber gabbering on about what it says! A lot of the time he just describes what he sees. Like Pig. Oink Oink oink. Jump. Its so cute I love watching it because it teaches him to pay attention to the detail and his descriptions are so creative sometimes.

* He loves Apple Juice and Milk. He has to decide which he wants every time. He goes back and forth and then picks and says YA Ya!



I could go on forever and I pretty much have! To think that TWO years ago I was holding this brand new baby boy in my arms. It has gone by so fast! I love this little man so much! He is really my everything. He makes my day and is my Best little buddy. Lately with everything going on I have been trying to put my stress to rest and not let Jaerick notice me going through any emotions. I know there are times where he can sense there is something “off”. He will cuddle with me or give me hugs and extra kisses that day. He is so sweet and loving it makes everything good. Jaerick is such a little boy with such a HUGE personality. Jaerick makes me laugh so hard and loves to be in the spotlight, then there are times where he makes me cry with the loves he gives. Its the sweetness that makes me cry and feel so grateful for him. Then again he makes me so crazy at times I want to scream! And just a minute later I’m laughing at his little charming personality. I love all the moments even the crazy ones. He is definitely starting the terrible two stage. Pushing the boundaries, purposefully ignoring me, and doing things I never thought he’d do (like throw chocolate cereal ALL over my front room!) He is definitely becoming more of a handful but at the same time… That ‘friend” relationship between him and I is really building, as independent as he is and wants to be we are so close and I didn’t think our bond could be any stronger but it seems to be strengthening a lot! There are a lot of times where he just wants to hang with me or play with me or even just help me out. I love it, I love that he is growing up and yes I hate it at the same time. I want him to be my little baby ;0) But he wants to be a big boy! Hate to burst your bubble little man but you will always be my little baby! He is getting so much fun growing up and learning! He really is so smart and loving and PERFECT! I couldn’t ask for anything more! Love you Big Boy! Happy SECOND Birthday!
