Jayden's Girlfriend

After church today, we went to the park to play. There was a set of twins there - Morgan and Madison. Jayden and Morgan hit it off. She came over to see him, and he gave her a hug. They played in the leaves together and climbed around on the playground equipment together for a while. They were so cute! They kept smiling at each other and putting their little heads down.

Jayden's speech is picking up a lot. He can say "A-za" for Asia, one of the cats. He recognizes all of the cats now because we can say, "give Cali a treat," and he'll go to Cali and give her a treat. He also says "here you go" when he's handing anybody something. He runs it all together like it's one word, but he knows he says it when he gives something to someone. So he's definitely learning a lot.

Several people recently at church and in the store have commented on how well he walks. He has a good handle on himself. He rarely falls anymore; he can balance himself if he starts to stumble. He's even started running a little bit when we chase him or when he's chasing one of the cats.

We've had a quiet weekend. He's still a little icky from all of his jaw teeth, so he mostly wants to lie around.
