And Talking!!

Jayden seems determined to grow up completely before he even turns one year old! He has starting saying his first words now, too. (Not just sounds that mimic a real word, but a couple of words that he actually associates with the right things!) A week or two ago he started saying "ball" whenever he saw one and then at church (in the middle of Sacrament Meeting, by the way) he pointed to the hymn book and started yelling "book". (Luckily we have 9,000 little kids in our ward so the people sitting around us are always very tolerant of a little outburst or two. Well, maybe not 9,000 but there are over 40 sunbeams with Rylee this year, so that gives you an idea of how elbow-deep in kids we are!)

Of course, the day J first started talking his daddy was out of town on an install job. So this was my best attempt at getting him to talk on camera. You can hear the faint "ball" sounds even though J seems to have some stage fright in front of the camera.
