Our little Monkey is 2!!!!!!!
I simply can't believe that 2 years ago this little boy.....
was this little baby...
I truly feel as though I am living in fast forward. It seems so cliche, but I really feel like it was last week that I found out our little baby was coming and yesterday that we brought him home. The last 2 years have been filled with more love, joy, and challenge than I ever imagined. Jace is so smart, so active, and so unbelievably loving. He is truly more than I ever dreamed I would have in a child. Every day he makes me laugh, he makes me proud, and he makes me feel more love than I thought was possible. He has quickly turned from a sweet little baby boy with a little spark of mischief in his eye, to a full on ruff and tumble 2 year old. He is way too smart for MY own good and he knows every one of my weaknesses. In the last few months I have learned that discipline will be a challenge, as he thinks time outs are just the greatest! (Though Mommy has recently discovered that while Jace loves getting time out, he does NOT like it when his toys get time out. Score for Mommy!) I have learned that saying something, even casually, even once, will commit that word or phrase to Jace's memory forever and he will use it at some completely random time. For example, last night he told Nonna that her new perfume "smells freakin good!" Oops! I have learned that my child is not the least bit shy and will dance wherever there is music and/or an audience. He will also help mothers in Target discipline their children if he sees the need. He is a total ham, LOVES all things musical, and he absolutely loves to tease (especially me!) Yep, he is pretty much the most amazing human being I have ever known and I'm sooo happy that he is mine!
Jace got to celebrate his birthday a week early this year. We figured it would be best for all involved not to have one more function to host/attend the week of Christmas. Jace had a few of his closest pals over for lunch, dancing, and an all around good time.
We had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme...
Ate Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dogs....
And got to eat some yummy Mickey Mouse cake!
He had an absolute blast and was so excited to have his friends over to celebrate with him.
