Here's my little man at Jason's wedding. He was the ring bearer and did awesome. As you can see in the picture, he had a bit of an accident the day before. Poor Uncle Mark was there when it happened, but scooped him up and handed him over. He also danced the night away. I'll be posting some pictures and video after we get our fixed hard drive back.
Lately, Jared's language has been exploding. The kid repeats just about everything. Today at the grocery store he wanted to know the name of every item I picked up. It's such a fun time. I also took him to the doctor today and am happy to report that he is now in the 95th percentile for height (36.5 inches), 75th percentile for head size, and he jumped up to the 50th percentile for weight. He still looks tall and skinny, but he's not so skinny anymore.
He's my big boy!
Welcome to my life. It's crazy, filled with love, and often a bit messy. I wouldn't have it any other way.

What's Going on in There?
Recently I've been so intrigued by Jared.
He is so friendly and says "Hi" to everyone we pass, especially at the grocery store. You can tell that he really is brightening some people's day. What a little light he is. Also, he's talking up a storm, both in words I can understand and in gibberish. We've even been working on "please" and "thank you" and he's used them on his own a few time. Yay for polite kids! He's also really interested in having me label everything for him. No encouragement needed. This kid will repeat exactly what you say, so be careful. He loves going places where he can interact with kids. We go to the park and he walks right up to kids, waves and says hi. Sometimes I wish that I could sit and watch him in the nursery at church because I'm sure he's having the time of his life. One of my favorite things that he's doing lately is that he'll pull a book off the shelf and sit there "reading" it to himself. Mostly he's talking gibberish, but every once in awhile he'll say a word that's on the page. He has such a good memory and loves being read to. The last week or so Jared has also started being more cuddly. He'll come and snuggle in my lap and walk up and give me a kiss.
There's just so much going on in his life. You can tell that he's learning things every day. I often sit and wonder what is going on in that little head of his.
I'm thankful for my little man.

A Taste of Jared and Fashion
Favorite Jared Moment of the Day
We have been putting Jared's lion Halloween costume on recently so that he builds up a tolerance and will actually wear it on Halloween. Today I put the whole costume on and then Jared walked over to the mirror to look at himself. He immediately started growling at himself. Too cute!
Sorry I can't figure out how to rotate it. You get the idea though.
Fashion
As I said in my previous post, I'd like to start posting about some things that interest me and fashion is one of them. I'll make sure to clearly label these posts so that those who don't care won't waste their time. On to the fashion talk. These are the new shoes I've been looking at. I wasn't ever sure that I really liked the Bootie style of shoe, but I saw these online and thought that I could really rock them. Maybe it has something to do with me warming up to the idea of wearing leggings or just wanting to wear dresses more often. I could definitely picture me wearing them with an outfit I'm putting together for a wedding this fall. Maybe sometimes we just need the right outfit in order to be interested in some of the newer fashions? The only decision to make now is gray or black?
Planning an outfit really does get me excited. Luckily this one mostly uses pieces that I already own. Maybe I should look into a job where I can dress up every day. That kind of job will pay a lot of money, right?
