You may or may not be aware of my anxiety of Jace's speaking ... or lack thereof. It is hard to have an only child and not know what is normal -- especially when there are kids his age, or younger, doing things that he appears to not to be doing. Jace has always seemed to be a great thinker -- and never has had a lot to say. He has, however, done an awesome job understanding what we tell him, and can perform relatively detailed tasks when asked. Tasks such as: Jace ... go throw this in the garbage; put this in the bucket in the bathroom; let's put the dogs outside; put this in your drawer. When given a task, he'll usually waddle his cute little bum in whatever direction you ask ... but he hasn't really been talking.
Until recently.
Although no one would consider him a "jabber jaws" ... he has been talking a lot more. I thought I'd list the words that I can remember him saying as of right now. I probably will miss a lot!

So he is a quiet kid, but it is obvious that he knows quite a bit. I'm glad that it has come out more and more lately ... reduces my stress level and just makes him even more fun to be around.

I still laugh with him rolling a grape down my nose and putting it in my mouth.

No worries! Boys are different anyway & it was obvious the last time I saw him that he was gearing up to talk...that lovely gibber-jabber we just can't understand but he knows precisely what's going on :) He's a cutey...which reminds me...I've gotta find out about his bday! It's pretty normal in my experience 4 boys 2 talk when they hit 2 and often not much before that :) So no worries mama!!!
