More Exciting Developments

I realize it's been about a week or so since I've written last.

We all had a Great Thanksgiving. My mom was able to take care of Jamie that morning for us. We spent the morning volunteering at Valero (Trey's work) for their Annual Thanksgiving Dinner with the Troops stationed here in San Antonio.

We both had fun doing that. Then, when that was done, we went back to my mom's house to eat Thanksgiving Dinner together. We were there for a little bit longer, and then went to my inlaws for the evening. It was fun for all of us that day.

Well, today we had a pretty good day at church. Jamie again cried when he realized we weren't coming in with him, but he was fine. He again lasted the entire time.

It was fun at dinnertime today. I was feeding him applesauce, and put some on the sppon for him to put in his mouth. He took it a step further, and dragged the spoon against the bottom of the bowl, got some, and put it in his mouth by himself! He learned how to use the spoon!! :D That was really cool! Daddy got to see it too. We both cheered, and he clapped his hands.. :-) :-) He's so cute!

Jamie also rediscovered the word "no". He's starting to say it to everything we say! I guess this is his "NO" phase. Oh, well, we'll just have to wait it out. I'll enjoy it while it lasts and laugh along the way.

Another Exciting thing that is happening is with Jamie. Jamie is still mostly pre-verbal, but he is starting to point to things as if to ask what they are. He is also figuring out everything has a name. We are giving him the names of things, and I think this will help him to learn more words. We are also trying to read to him more.

We are having a great time with our Jamie. We enjoy him everyday.
Here are some pictures taken at Jamie's 2nd birthday party. These are the ones I have.

Here is Jamie playing with one of his presents!


He is playing with another present. He enjoys this one as well.


This is a picture of his cake. It was yummy!
