Jens is a Busy, Busy Boy

Jens is now 18 months old! A year and a half! It's hard to believe my difficult little colic, clingy boy has grown up into a smiling, talking, opinionate little twit (hee hee hee I'm not kidding people). Jens now likes to have "tea" with mommy, notice in the picture with the blueberry covered fact that he has a ceramic espresso mug, being used as his tea cup, with a home brew of chamomile tea, because this baby does not need any help in the wired department.

We made it for a good thirty minutes one afternoon pouring tea back and forth between the espresso mugs and the tea pot before Jens threw the mug and broke it into a million pieces. Of course that was followed by Jens saying "uh oh" ass soon as the mug hit the tile.

Jens has a favorite new toy is a firehouse from his grandmother Betty. He has discovered he can almost stick his head through the firehouse doors as he pushes the door open and ells "Peek a boo". He still enjoys being taken for a ride around the house in one of his many push toys.

Christmas in MinneSNOW-ta

Well this year we headed off to Minnesota and they too had snow on the ground, but it was much colder than Portland. The highs were a balmy 15 degrees. So enjoy some pictures of Jens at Christmas. We took a little trip to the children's museum (Jens loved that!) and we had a great time with Jason's family. If you look at one of the pictures, Jens was pushing a pink stroller - it belonged to his cousin Lily. Jens would not give that stroller up, he thought it was great.

SNOW in Portland!

Wow we had snow before Christmas this year. It snowed and snowed and then snowed some more. Jens really wasn't sure about the snow - he had a very hard time walking and kept falling over. Memphis the dog really enjoyed herself through.

Music Class

It has been a while since my last post, time has just gotten away from me (imagine that). Here are some photos of Jens and his new little friends from music class. I added a baby music class to the Studio this fall and it is a lot of fun. We sing lots of songs and dance around, Jens really likes it. Last month he was going around and around in a circle and he said "I'm Dancing" it was pretty cute. His favorite activity is playing peek-a-boo with the scarves.
