Big boy Jason!

We have started using time out a lot more with Jason when he throws his toys or doesn't listen to Jeff or I or just generally misbehaves.  I'm not sure it is sinking in, but it stops the bad behavior for the moment.  The funniest part is that Jason will put himself into time out.  We will be talking nearby and hear him throw a toy and then watch him pitter patter into the corner.  It is so hard not to laugh in moments like these!



I am so ready for a day when he is done with diapers, but as of right now he hasn't given any indication that he is ready to start potty training.  So we will wait, besides with our current living situation in a little bit of limbo I figure we don't want to change too much on him at one time.  He is growing up so fast though, when we tell him he needs a diaper change he will lay down on the floor so that we can change him, which is so much better than having to chase him around the living room!



We always say that our little boy never grows, but again he is proving us wrong.  The other day I felt like Jason's shoes were getting tight on him and thought he needed to move up a size.  We went to the store to get his feet measured and he was weighing in at a 7.5 the shoes he was wearing were ...5.5, opps!  I guess we are going shoe shopping today

We have been seeing Jason grow up right before our eyes!  I wonder if he wouldn't seem so grown up if we didn't have Elizabeth right there to compare him to.  Now if only we can get him to talk!

Pretty Baby

Our sweet girl is getting so big! Elizabeth had her two month check up last Thursday and is at 50% in both length and weight. She is such a sweetheart too! She has started to learn to use her hands and loves to suck on them. I worry a little about her becoming a thumb sucker, but realize that she is just exploring her world and part of that is checking out how her body works. Beth loves to watch the mobile in her crib, but we have to watch Jason very carefully because it is a Winnie the Pooh mobile and Jason often wants to climb in and love on his friends.



Speaking of our little climber the other day I was busy doing something upstairs and Jason wandered down to the kitchen. The house is mostly baby proof so I am not too worried that he can get into much. When his Aunt Michelle came in she found him sitting nicely on the bar stool drawing on the envelopes with a pencil. I had no clue he could climb up there! I guess he is getting bigger all the time!
In other family news it looks like we are moving again! Jeff accepted a verbal offer of a job with a coal mine in Fairfield, Texas. It is about 4 hours Northeast of San Antonio so I know the grandparents will love us being this close. Jeff is trying to get me all hyped up about houses again, but I am trying to wait until we can take a trip there to get excited. We are figuring out a good time to visit the area in the next month and will keep everyone updated as we know more.
