Where Does the Time Go?

It is nearing the end of summer and I can not help but wonder where time has gone. Jace will be turning a year next month and I feel that he is getting so big and growing out of his baby phase. He has begun to practice his walking skills and just this morning he took a good ten steps. I was so prooud and excited for him! I am also attempting to teach him sign language which is more difficult than I thought it would be. Jace is quite impatient and if I try to stop him to get his attention he gets restless really fast. He also does his own variations of the sign. One example is "all done" in which you twist both wrists in the air, but Jace only does it with one of his wrists. I think it is so cute and as long as I understand what he is saying that is all that truly matters. Jace is also a wonderful sleeper. It is so easy to put him to bed and 98% of the time he sleeps until seven in the morning. The cry out method worked really well for him. Thank goodness we only had to do that for three nights and the Jace caught on and was able to learn how to comfort himself.
Jackson is growing up too quickly as well. He will be three in the end of December!! His favorite show to watch is Phineas and Ferb. He watches an episode in the morning and and another at night with his leche (milk). Jackson also enjoys all Pixar Disney movies, but especially Cars. It was a bit more difficult to get Jackson into a sleeping schedule but now he is a rockstar at it. Nick is the one who usually puts Jackson to bed and he does so by singing him songs like "Raincloud" or "You are my Sunshine". So Cute. Jackson loves giving me and his daddy nose kisses (eskimo kisses) before bed too. His vocabulary grows more and more everyday and I adore how he makes up his own phrases how he says certain words.
I am so grateful to be their mommy and I hope I can enjoy every second of them.

My Sick Boys

Okay, so I got the idea to start blogging from a friend. She blogs to keep it as a journal and I feel in love with the idea. Unfortunately my first blog is to write about my baby boys and their cold. They are so congested Jackson could hardly sleep last night and so neither could I. : (  I am also all by myself in taking care of them, Nick is off in San Diego with his friends and we miss him so. Jackson and Jace, even though they are sick, are behaving so well. They are still up and about and playing with their hundreds of Hot Wheels. So today, in hopes that this will help with their congestion, I am going to buy a humidifier for their room. Nick will be home tomorrow and I hope that the boys will feel better by then.
On a more exciting note Jace is taking a step all on his own before falling. He will be walking any day and it is so much fun to see him trying. Jackson, however, is enjoying it more than anyone. Whenever Jace stands Jackson begins to say "Mama, Jace walking" and then he precedes to assist Jace. I love how Jackson enjoys helping out Jace and I wish they will be close friends for the rest of their lives.
