Jett E. Pants Update

Ok- it's been a long time since I did a Jett update!!  He is now 14 months old and what is this cute and precious boy up to?

This is him saying "yay!!!!!"...except he says "ayyyyyyy!!!".  

His words:
Hot, on, cup ("UP"), more ("mowwww?"), woofs when we see a dog, Sancho and Abbie, after we pray over our dinner we all squeeze our hands 3 times and say "I love you"...he will squeeze his hands and say "ah, ah, ah", truck, choo choo, hi, up, yay ("ayyyyy!!!"), uh-oh, help ("ep!"), eggs ("eeeeeee-s?), and bath ("baaaaa?").  He typically puts and question mark at the end of everything!  haha!

-He waves at cars when they drive by and says "hiiiii".
-He knows where his belly button is
-Plays peek-a-boo
-He LOOOOVES books

-He walks, but doesn't chose to walk, he wants to crawl and push his little train instead.  If you stand him up he will walk back and forth between things- but still doesn't just WALK.

-He loves to turn on and off lights and to push the garage door opener
-He loves to feed the dogs his food
-He loves music and will dance to any music he hears

My little Jett E. Pants

I had just experienced child birth for the first time naturally to my precious Jett Edmonton Theiss just three hours ago...one year ago today.  My third child...my precious baby...my gift from God.  

Today- you turn one.  I truly cannot believe it.  Every time I hold you I cannot believe God gave me a third child to love and raise and care for.  

I love so many things about your precious personality that I'm not sure I can count them- but I shall try...

I really love how happy you are.  You are happy to be alive and happy to be around people and that is the biggest blessing...

I love how you wave to our neighbors who drive by...

I love how you have learned "uh-oh" and you love saying even if there wasn't anything to "uh-oh" about...

I love how you love food and will go crazy when you see your food...

I love that you love your blanket...

This past week we found out you having happy birthday sung to you...

You love swimming...

I love how you dance when music is on...

I love how you love bath time

I love how you "pat pat" the dogs

You are a dream Jett- and I am so grateful God gave me you!!!  I love you!!!!!

Parker and his balloon

I love that he loves balloons so much.  He begged and begged that I would take him to the dollar store so he could spend some of his allowance money on a balloon and now it's morning, and he's sitting watching cartoons holding his balloon :).  He so precious!  (In this picture he's in the recliner and his balloon is down and to the left from the ceiling fan.) 

My Jett E. Pants

My sweet wonderful 11 month old Jett....I love that when I get him out of the bathtub and pick him up off the floor wrapped in his towel he kisses me!!  😍😍😍😍 

I love that when I pull the shower curtain back to start his bath he starts giggling and dancing back and forth.

I love that he waves at the neighbors when they drive by.

Just a few "I loves" about that little boy who has stolen our hearts.

My big boys....

My precious big boys Parker and Beckham.  What are they up to?

Well, my precious Parker (6) is just learning how to read and write from kindergarten!  

He is ready to officially join a soccer team!  

He is the most gentle and quiet spirit.  He hardly ever raises his voice and I absolutely think that is the best.

The other day I told him to put his clothes on in my bedroom after he and Beckham were getting out of my bathtub....he said "why because I'm dripping with excitedness?"  Lol...he's such a funny silly boy.

He loves to tell jokes and to tease people, I absolutely love that about him.

He loves to show how strong and fast he is.

Oh!  And he is doing soooooo great with speech!!  I think he will be dismissed soon!  I am so pleased!

Parker, my heart is so full of love being your mommy.  I love you so much and am so thankful to the Lord that He gave me you to raise, love and learn about.  You bring so much silliness and laughter to this family.  I know I make a lot of mistakes, but I hope at the end of the day you know that your mommy loves you deeply.

Beckham...my sweet boo(4) is doing really great in preschool.  He knows how to write his "name"...which is a grouping of a bunch of letters starting with a B :). It's really cute.

Beckham is the most generous little kid.  Just to make Parker happy, Beckham would give him anything.  One time he had $10 for his birthday he gave Parker over half of it so that Parker would be excited too.  It's really so so precious.

Beckham's speech is still pretty rough, but I am working with him home and it's starting to really help!

Beckham is such an incredible big brother.  He seriously loves Jett so so much.  He will spend so much time just playing with him and playing with him.  He loves that baby.

Beckham, I love you deeply.  You are such a sweet precious little boy and I'm so thankful to the Lord that he gave me you next.  You bring such a bright light to the family.  I love you so so much and am so thankful for you!!

Jett is 10 months

My little Jett, I cannot put into words how much joy you bring this family!!!  You want to know how? Well this is one way...you are just SO CUTE!!!!

Well, sometimes when you eat dinner you start to let the spirit flow and you start dancing from your booty up...I started to sing "I can't stop this feeling" every time you do it and you think it's so great.

You clap your hands when I sing "if you're happy and you know it". 

You stand up in your crib now and it's so precious!!!

You are crawling all over the place and the first places you would crawl to were outlets and cabinets...got daddy on his toes baby proofing the house!!!

You loooooove to laugh.  From someone saying "Boo!" to your big brothers tickling you...you just love to laugh.

You also are VERY suspicious of ceiling fans and ceiling lights...you keep looking at them like they are out to get you.  Your daddy might have told you some lies about them too, so that's probably why you think that 😜.

Going to bed is sometimes super easy or super hard.  If you get any kind of nap after 4 I might as well be ready for you to be up till I go to bed.  Kinda weird...none of your other brothers did that!! 

You also squeal at the very top of your lungs and think it is the best!!!  Sometimes you do it in quiet places so I have to plug you up with your paci....which you still love :)

You are eating really well now...oatmeal, scrambled eggs, broccoli, sweet potatoes, whatever I put to your mouth pretty much.  

Well, I think that's all I can think of...I love you anyway you are, Jett, no matter what you do, I love you just the way you are, I love you because you're you!!!
