This kid is too cute

So this morning Jax was being EXTRA cute. I let him play with my kindle this morning and it went off unexpectedly (he sometimes pushes it with his finger). He looks down at it and says "Uh oh, It's broken. It's trash". I CRACKED up.

THEN I had finished changing his diaper and as usual he was asking for his pants before I was even finished. So I decide to put some shorts on him for the first time since last summer. He gets excited to put them on (also as usual, the kid loves pants) and when they get all pulled up he looks down and has a mini freak out. He starts pulling them down and yelling "my pants! my pants! my pants!" and trying to pull them down to regular pants length. I assured him that it was ok and they were supposed to be like that.

Another cute thing he's doing is calling David and I "honey". You would think it would be a term of endearment but it's really only used when he's frustrated at us or trying to get our attention. For example, if he wants me to open a snack for him and I'm trying to load the dish washer or cook dinner, he yells "HONEY!!! HONEY!!!" and that usually lets me know he means business.

He is also learning his numbers and letters. he knows 1-9 and most of his letters. I was wearing a shirt that said MOREHEAD STATE VOLUNTEER and he sat on my lap and went through each letter! He didn't get U or V but the others he had covered. He's so sweet.

Also, he does this thing when he's upset, where he puts his nose on things. At first, he would get annoyed and he would walk away and put his nose on the wall. We thought he was just calming down and working through his feelings. How he will put his nose on anything to calm down and we realized it was more about the nose than him working through feelings by leaving and taking a minute to himself. He doesn't care if it's an arm, couch, shopping cart handle, dog... He's not picky, he just likes his nose on something.

He is getting to be so fun and so sweet I just can't take it. He loves to dance, where he stomps and swings his arms. He loves to twirl in circles, he pats the dog and says "good girl myah", or will do it to David and I and say "good girl mama" or daddy. He loves Thomas, strawberries (straw-bah), pants, Marty our friends dog, coloring, and running.

The kid is for sure David's son too. He can navigate his way around my kindle, Davids phone, and the TV. We used to just be able to turn off the TV but he learned how to turn it on. We have no where to hide the clicker really either because he can reach literally everywhere. The kid is already 3 ft 2 inches tall and when you add in tippie toes and arms, he can reach most of the things we can. I guess we haven't tried the top of the fridge yet, but it's only a matter of time! If you give him a phone he gets on netflix and turns on Thomas. No wifi? No problem. The kid is satisfied with Angry birds, which he finds himself and opens and everything. When he gets bored of that he usually goes to the photo album and finds some cute movies of himself and is satisfied for a while. The kid is crazy.

Anyways, That's all for now. I will hopefully do another blog about Columbus soon. Maybe even some pictures!
