Nursery Update

I said I'd keep you informed of what happened today in Nursery. We switched this weekend to Daylight Savings Time (an hour earlier, so we gained an hour). I think that really messed up Jamie. He seemed to be tired and cranky..and it's understandable. He wasn't in Nursery for 10 minutes and heard him crying. He wanted Mommy, and Mommy came into Nursery. Daddy went in too, but not at the same time. I'm really hoping he'll make the adjustment in time smoothly and quickly..but it's different for every child, I'm told. {Sigh} Hopefully he'll do better and adjust.

Jamie has such an attitude. This week, he's started to take us by the hand and actually leads us to what he wants, or where he wants to go..! So cute!
He actually led me to Nursery before Sacrament Meeting. I told him we had to go to Sacrament meeting first then nursery. I am hoping next week will be better. He may not say a lot at any one time, but I think he understands more than he lets on.

A Trip to the Doctor!

On Friday, Jamie went to his 2-year old check up! He wasn't excited at all to be there, in fact, as soon as we walked in, he wanted to go home! Poor boy! There was really no choice though, some things have to be done. He is growing beautifully, and we found out from his last check-up, that he is now 33 pounds and about 3 feet tall. He is very tall for his age, but it's just right for him. He is doing great!

We'll see how he does in Nursery today. I'll keep you posted.

Things are Getting Better!

Well, what a week and a half we've had!

On Halloween night, we were able to pick up our 2000 Honda Accord! Jamie's Grandparents were able to take him out Trick-or Treating. All of us are feeling better, but Trey is still recovering. It shouldn't be long now! :-) Things are going smoothly in terms of dealing with the aftermath of the accident.

Mommy will be nervous when she drives, as she was driving at the time of the accident. We'll see how it goes. I think I'll be ok. :-) As for Jamie, if you were wondering, does not hesitate to ride in the car, despite the accident. :-) That is good.

Jamie has a new saying that has me laughing at times. I had wanted to make things fun in the bath, so I started counting 1-2-3 whee. Jamie caught on fast, and sometimes when I count now, even if I don't get to three, he'll say whee..It's funny. He's so amusing at times. He said another two-word phrase too 'door, hi'.

We'll have to see this Sunday how Jamie does in Nursery. I'm hoping he'll do better than last week.

Jamie is doing very well in swim class. He loves the water, and although he's unsure of himself at times, he loves to splash and play! He can hold on to the edge of the pool and scoot with his hands along the side by himself!! I found he didn't need help! That was neat to see him do today.

A Stressful time for All of us !

Lots of things have been happening, not all of them have been fun.

On Saturday, October 20th, we all were involved in quite a serious car accident. We are all ok with some minor injuries, but are all expected to be fully healed by this weekend. We for now have a rental car, which is nice, but we went car shopping last weekend. Grandma watched Jamie for us. We were going to get a Honda Civic, but by the time we got back there, someone else had bought it. We are going to get a gold 2000 Honda Accord instead. It's a very nice car! We'll pick it up sometime this week hopefully! Well, enough about that.

We experienced another little setback. Jamie only went about halfway through Nursery without getting really upset that we weren't there. Trey brought him to Mommy. I took him back to Nursery..and he loved singing time. Jamie loves bubbles! We can try again next week for nursery.

We had Jamie's 2nd birthday party yesterday! It was fun!! Jamie was very interested to see all the neat toys he recieved. He's getting the idea of opening presents.
We had cake and ice cream, and all that. I'll post some pictures when I get some from family.
Jamie is such fun to be around, but there are times when I really think otherwise.

It Finally Happened!

Well, it finally happened! After being in the nursery at church for a few months, Jamie went into Nursery all by himself without Mommy or Daddy! (He had previously had Mommy or daddy in the nursery with him.) Of course, Mommy was thinking about him the whole time. He didn't cry or anything..He just went straight for the toys! He's becoming such a Big Boy!
Daddy went to go pick him up from Nursery after his class, and says that Jamie didn't want to leave the Nursery! That's great!
I think Jamie will love going to Nursery on Sundays, and being with the other kids his age there. I think there will even be a time when he will look forward to going to Nursery.

A Brand New Breakthrough...

He is now almost 2 years old. He will be 2 on the 28th of October.

Yesterday, 10/09/07, as I was getting him ready for dinner, he said his first two-word phrase! And he learned a new word, 'more'. The new two word phrase is 'More cheese'. It sounds like 'Moo chee'. He said it!!! I was soo excited that I called Trey and my mom to share the news. Both Grandma and Daddy were really excited about that! He said it again at breakfast, too.
What a Smart Boy!!
He also learned how to make a Shh.. sound. I think he learned that from me.
Now if I do it, he does it back! Isn't that cute?

He also now can help count up to Fourteen! He is trying to say a sound or so for numbers eleven and twelve when we count, and he often skips thirteen to say fourteen! We always laugh when he does that. LOL!

I have got a few pictures of him during the last few days. I thought you guys might want to see what he's been up to.

Here I am getting ready for bed. I am lying on the couch
next to Daddy.

Mommy got a picture of me on my bike! I'm dressed this time!

I am finding out what's in this box. I am incredibly curious about everything!

Little Jamie On the Move

It never cease to amaze me what Jamie can do.

Just this past month or so Jamie learned how to count to ten.

Here are some pictures of him on the move, or not. Some of these were taken on his 'month' birthday.

I'm just out on our little balcony, playing with my Superman Basketball.

I am leaning forward on my trike, but I've figured out how to get on.. Yay!

I'm actually sitting on my bike, but you can't see it!

I know, I'm in nothing but my diaper and my socks, but Mommy finally got her picture of me on my trike!
