Eating is becoming more of an adventure as Jared learns what he likes and dislikes. We are trying new ways to coax or trick him into eating healthy foods by tempting him with something he really wants. He also likes to wait for everything to get on his tray then mix it all together. The picture on the right is of refried beans that he managed to get everywhere!!! I'm just glad I took his shirt off for this meal! 
For fun I thought he'd look cute in the bandana and thought he'd take it off but instead he insisted on wearing it for about two hours!
Accomplishments for Jared this week... He was gazing at the computer's screen saver and said, "Oh my gosh!" Chris and I looked at each other laughing hysterically while trying to keep it in. I asked Chris where he learned it and he claims he doesn't say it much and I don't think I say it very much as well but as the week went on I noticed times when I did say it and wouldn't have realized it.
Jared has been attempting to jump for awhile and not having much success. This week around Thursday I noticed on our bed he was actually leaving the ground. He can also jump on the regular floor and enjoys to do it quite frequently.
Jumping I think helped him lead into his next accomplishment. Saturday Morning Chris and I woke up at 6:00 to Jared calling for us. We both decided he could wait for a half hour because it was definitely too early. In between 6:00 and 6:30 Chris and I both heard banging. I thought it was Jared rocking his crib and Chris thought the door was opening and shutting but what it was Jared who climbed out of his crib onto the bed next to it knocking at the door. I didn't realize he was out of bed when I was trying to open his door so needless to say I hit him kind of hard in the head when I opened the door because the door was stuck. I felt really bad but it was kind of funny because of the shock of it. That night when I laid him down for bed he immediately cried and a few minutes later we heard him at his door. I went in and sang to him even longer and then laid him down and went outside and held door adjar just a little bit so I could see how he did it. Before my eyes could adjust he was at the door tugging it open. Chris finally moved the bed and away from anything and he went to sleep like normal.

He is looking so big in this. Becoming such a BOY, instead of a baby...Aw, I can't even believe he's climbing out of his crib. Although, I shouldn't have a hard time after he called us from his crib on your cell and talked to us for three minutes that one time! :) that was hilarious.
Hey, I miss you all so much. Enjoy Chicago. Love Ash
Sweet do-rag
Marjorie, I know this is so random and I'm not sure you'll remember me but I linked to your blog from Nicole Goggins' blog. It looks like you're having a great time in Chicago, which part do you live in? I just wanted to let you know that my brother is attending Medical School in Chicago and he and his wife have lived there for about a year. I'd love to give you her number, she also has a little boy who is 2 and a new baby girl. I know she'd always be up for meeting new people and making new friends. Let me know, and congratulations-- your Jared is so cute!
