Our Little Smart and Adorable Man
Jalen dancing to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Jalen is getting too smart, I talk to him all of the time like he understands me and always have but now he definitely does understand and it cracks me up...I can't believe I am the mom to a toddler now who is getting to be so independant, no longer a little infant :(

Laila and Jalen Playing... watch the very end, it's the best part!
Jalen apparently performing a new trick, bear crawling, he must have learned it in daycare because he just started doing it tonight for the 1st time...made us laugh as you can tell :)

New Funny Pictures of Jalen
Jalen decided he didn't want to take a bath tonight...1st time ever! Bath time is usually his FAVORITE time ever but tonight he just cried everytime his feet touched the water so he got a sponge bath instead. In the meantime, I had already undressed him so I put a diaper and a robe (notice the robe Mark and Jen, finally fits him and we love it!) on him and let him run around to get tired. He loved running around in the robe and was fascinated by it so I got some cute pictures...he also wouldn't let go of his rice cake so it is in his hand with every picture :)
Feeding Laila a rice cake, of course Wheel of Fortune on in the background
Playing peek-a-boo behind the curtains, his new favorite game

showing all he has under his robe
so happy in his robe
Thanks for the pjs Auntie Jen and Uncle Ryan
Playing in the fridge, another new fun thing Jalen has learned

Jalen's Bite Wound from Daycare
So Jalen finally got bit back. I picked him up from daycare today and had to sign a note stating "Jalen was playing in the tunnel with a friend when the friend bit him on his back, the friend was removed to self control and an ice pack was applied to jalen's back" notice the full bite mark on Jalen's right shoulder blade? Maybe this will teach him :)

New Info, pictures and videos
Hilary, Jalen, Matt, Jason and Joely
Jalen is feeling better after being diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth, still lots of congestion but the excessive drooling and not eating is subsiding. Jalen now is 30.5 inches tall and weighs 22 lbs 11oz so he is in the 25th percentile for weight (as usual) and 38th percentile for height (who would have thought he was closer to average to height than weight!)
Last weekend Hilary and Matt came to visit and we had so much fun, although Jalen was very fussy and drooling like a "mastiff" as Matt pointed out.
Yesterday Jason's dad (Jim O'Neal aka: Boompa) had surgery on his neck (a laminectomy on his cervical spine, C3, C5, and C6) to increase the space around the spinal cord and alleviate some of his pain, numbness in tingling and further issues with potential cord compression. He is at Mercy Gilbert Hospital right now and should be going home by the weekend. I told the PT's there that I used to work with to be extra nice to him so hopefully they are. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Well below are some pictures and videos from recently, Jalen was dancing all over the place right before I got my camera to tape it and of course decided to just stare at the tv when I wanted to get him dancing but he does do a little performane here so enjoy! Usually he tries to dance like Goofy on here so if you've seen the show (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) you'd understand.

Chasing Jalen
Here's another picture from last week while we were out to eat at our favorite restaurant here in
Ada...Santa Fe Steakhouse (Jalen really loves it too because all the waitresses flirt with him and he definitely flirts right back, even offers them some of his mac n cheese when they walk by)
Happy New Years
Happy New Years Everyone...
we had a wonderful New Years Eve last night with our friends down the street and some of their friends visiting from out of town. We had appetizers, drinks and played lots of games (Mad Gab, Things, and Smart Ass...I won the last of course!) and stayed up well past midnight. Jalen slept through the night pretty much and only woke up one time during our celebrations which was pretty good since we were not quiet and there was 7 of us.
Yesterday morning Jim and Chris has to head back to AZ so we got some group pictures before they left and I went to work. We had a great time with them although it went so quickly and we wished they had more time here! They did get to see all of Ada, my work, the park, ate at a few of our town famous restaurants and of course spent lots of time playing with their little angel, Jalen.
Jalen has been doing some pretty funny things. He likes to throw his dirty clothes in the hamper all by himself and today when I told him he had a poopy diaper and I needed to change him he looked at me and walked to his room and pointed up to the changing table so I lifted him up and he laid there happily (that does not happen too often!). He also started jabbering and trying to use his tongue, I swear I thought he was just going to start having a converstaion with real words the way his mouth started trying to form the words. Here are some pictures from Christmas day up until yesterday morning...I'll try to post some videos later this weekend of him running around the house and playing with all of his new toys.
