Party, Tummy Time, and Monkey

Saturday we went to a birthday party for a friend from church. This was the first time that Jacen has really had a cupcake and played in the courtyard at church since their first birthday party. He had a blast. It was a Texas Tech party, so he also got his first tattoo.

Once we got home, Kyle took lots of pictures trying to get a good one of the tattoo that Jacen got at the party. I had to include some of the cute expressions!!!!!

Tummy Time

Nathan was in a great mood, so I took lots of pictures. Here are a few.

Our Little Monkey has no fear!!!! He climbed onto the recliner, then to the bed, and onto the nightstand. Then outside another day he decided to climb on the swimming pool that is upside down.

After climbing everywhere Jacen got bored and laid down to watch cartoons!

Steps

Jacen took 4 steps to me and 6 steps to Kyle on Wednesday, September 15th!!!!!!!!!

Climbing, McDonalds, Brothers, and Family

We took the boys to their 15 month well visit.

Jacen:

weight - 26 lbs (75th percentile)
head circumference - 19 in (90th percentile)

Nathan:
height - 25.5 in
weight - 18.4 lbs
head circumference - 15.9 in

Jacen

Jacen still loves to climb and still won't walk!!! He can now climb up the slide and on the green platform, but he still won't slide down.

He will concentrate on toys trying to figure them out. He was focused on which box the smallest box went into. Then he was very proud of himself when he managed to get it in.

McDonalds

Our first trip to McDonalds and the first time Jacen has eaten food at a fast food restaurant. He ate his chicken nuggets and the blueberries that I brought for him, but he didn't much like the french fries. He stood on the bench the whole time without falling.

Brothers

Jacen has become very aware of Nathan. He will give him toys, point to his G tube, and pat him.

Wagon Ride

We didn't actually let Patches pull them, but we wanted to see if he would. He just stood there :)

Pawpaw and Mimi Came to Visit (Stephanie's Dad and Stepmom)

Jacen showed Pawpaw how to put the block inside the bigger block and was very proud of himself.

Outside, Friends, and Smiles

Jacen

He loves his new fridge toy that Daddy bought him.

He loves the outside. We haven't gone outside much because of Nathan, so Jacen hadn't been out much except for walks and swimming in the pool. We have started taking him out to blow bubbles and just crawl around. When we let Patches outside, Jacen thinks he should be able to go outside too. He will even go to the back door and twist the knob.

Feeling grass for the first time.

Going for the gate handle

Cars

Crawling to the gate

He bear crawls on the concrete because it hurts his knees. Maybe he will eventually walk!

Grass Again

Laura and her mom, Karen, came to visit!!!!

Nathan

Nathan on tummy time with guard dog Patches. Notice he is trying to suck on his hand!!!!

Swinging outside in the shade must be boring because he went to sleep.

Watching the lights on the swing.

Daddy Time with lots of smiles and sweet expressions!!!!!!
