When I put Spencer down for his naps I often swaddle him in his blanket. One day Jared wanted me to do the same to him so I did. I'll let the next two videos explain how he liked it!
One day I was out in our living room, I think feeding Spencer, when I heard Jared crying from in his room. I kept calling for him to come to me and tell me what was wrong but he wouldn't come. To be honest I was starting to get a little bothered that he wouldn't come and talk to me. I gave it a few minutes and after he wouldn't come out I went into his room to see what the problem was because his cry was not subsiding. When I went in the room Jared was in Spencer's swing and it was going the highest I'd ever seen it go with Jared squatting in the seat hanging on for dear life! I don't know how he got it going so high because it wasn't even turned on but it was kind of comical, but at the same time I counted my blessings that he didn't get hurt. Hence Jared has not tried to get in the swing since this event:)
Jared often likes to talk to Spencer. Some of his favorite phrases... while holding Spencer's face "Look at me!" "Wake up Spencer!" "What you doin?" Jared really is a great big brother. He is great with helping to get diapers and throwing them away for me and he also likes to help burp Spencer.
The last story deals with Jared and the microwave... He'd pushed a chair to the counter and was playing with the buttons. I was aware that he was there but I wasn't aware that he'd put something in it; a little toy car. I was close by when he managed to start the microwave. I ran over to turn it off but before I got there some sparks started shooting inside. My reaction plus the sparks really startled Jared and he about jumped into my arms with a soft cry, "That scared me, that scared me." So really two good things came out of this: we still have a functioning microwave while teaching Jared not to put things in the microwave and to not start it without mom or dad to help.

Jared I miss you and Spencer!!! You are so sweet. Give Spencer a Kiss for me and know I love you!!
Those videos are hilarious! Joe and I laughed a lot :).
I used to love to be swaddled too- we would beg my sister Shauna to tuck us in tight and make us look like mermaids. This post reminds me of those good times. Nothing like being wrapped up tight in a blanket. :)
CUTE!!
SO FUNNY! I love that little guy. You are so blessed!
I am so excited for your birthday Jared. I can't believe you are going to be two. Love you all.
