What is Jaeden like when not a picture?

I just realized after posting last week that Jaeden is just a picture to many of you!  We have so few videos showing what he's REALLY like.  So I tried this week to capture a couple of moments ad hoc in Jaeden's everyday life.

The first is Jaeden watching cars.   No, I didn't replace him with a doll.  That is really Jaeden.  It's the only time we can guarantee that he'll be completely silent, still, and calm.  period.  Just watch, and you'll understand.

The second is our pre-church talk.   Jaeden actually talks a lot.  And I mean A LOT!  I tried to get him to talk for the video, but he didn't talk to much.  Must have been distracted by that foam/sponge thing in his hand at the end.  By the way, WHERE did that come from?  He's like a little magician, pulling that out and eating it!

A few fun pictures

Yes, it has been forever. From dealing with the court hearing, to having our car break down (today) we've had very little time to ourselves, let alone to blog. Sorry. Form here on out, we're going to try to do better. Rather than try to catch up on hundreds of fun times, I'll just post some recent(ish) pictures of our not-so-little-anymore baby boy...

Did I mention that he loves to eat? Must get that from daddy.


Sitting in his chair with his friend Chloe. I think he asks for her 5 times a day now that she's moved to Utah.

Jaeden loves to help moma cook; it's just that not much ends up in the bowl by the end!

And here is Jaeden cheezing it up for the ladies.

This one's actually for me... who buys a Prius, only to decorate it with anti-global warming/liberal bumper stickers? Seriously???? Too funny!




And Jaeden, who was too afraid to go on any rides by himself went on the "car ride" with mommy and Daddy at Kennywood. (the local amusement park, kinda like Lagoon). However, far more fun to him was the "ride" of swinging on the railings while waiting in line. Who needs expensive tickets to amusement parks... let's just buy this kid a pull-up bar!




Jaeden for his 2-year old birthday party got a Lightning McQueen pinata. He is absolutely obsessed with cars and trucks, and the movie cars sends him into 7 fits of ecstasy. We literally have to try hard to keep him from watching it 6 times a day!


We went to an airshow, which Jaeden loved (he now makes all airplanes fly around fast and loud, like the F16's we saw) and he got to sit in an old WWI car.


And, did we mention our son's addiction? This is him with "Finding Nemo" on the iPhone. He didn't move from that position on the bed for a full 1.5 hours. Well, we know how to keep him happy and quiet, at least...
