Don't look, Mom!
I've got this under control
Ta-da!!!
Is this kid growing like a weed, or what? So, what kind of tricks can he do now? Well, he can feed himself "Puffs", little cereal-like snacks. Some of them get into his mouth. He has one tooth. He can pull up on just about anything, with Mom and Dad watching saying, "Jalen, you're going to hurt yourself!" So far no bruises or stitches, but we only give that a few more weeks max. He can even stand up using Mace, because I am sitting here typing and turned around to see him standing up with nothing around but the dog. He splashes like crazy in the bathtub and tries relentlessly to stand up there, but he hasn't learned the meaning of "no" yet. He still takes two naps a day, although the morning one in the past week has become very short. He is busy, busy, busy, making laps from the living room to the back door, to the kitchen, under the table, to the front door, and back to the living room. He's trying desperately to read Daddy's golf magazines, but Daddy doesn't share. And he is just now reminding me that he likes to play with the springy doorstoppers.
Catch ya later Mom, I got somewhere to be!
Aww, brotherly love. Sharing toys. If Jalen could have Mace's fox, and Mace could have Jalen's squishy Purple Aces baseball, everyone would just be a lot happier! 
I wonder who would end up feeling left out if there were another boy?
FYI on the door stoppers, ours have little white rubber caps over the spring that will pull off. Reed would pull them off and put them in his mouth. I had to take them all off so he did not choke.
