He will sit in his bouncy seat, getting his legs going in a rhythm that threatens to launch him across the room into the tv he is squealing excitedly at! J has found his voice, and it is a loud one, as some on the other end of the phone have heard! He has a high pitched shriek that seems to say, "You are so cool Mickey Mouse!", or "Wow! I love this polka-dot pattern on my changing pad!" Or maybe its, "Hey, did you people forget I'm here?"
To update the what-does-he-think-about-Mace question...he thinks now that it might be a good idea to try to grab Mace's snout and chew on his wet nose. Of course, anything that he can manage to get in his mouth is fair game to be chewed. He also smiled at Mace the other morning.
And soon enough he will be sitting up all by himself. Just because he doesn't now isn't because he doesn't want it bad enough. He's kinda ticked off if he's laying down or reclined, because dang it, there's just so much more to see when you're sitting up straight. (Or leaning forward folded in half like a peanut butter sandwich).
Last weekend I took Jalen downtown to Market Square and we played in the water fountain. He was oblivious to the older kids who kept splashing him with cold water as they ran through, but that's ok because he's gonna be one of those big kids one day running over everybody else!
