Jensen is 22 months old!

Our monthly photo sessions are becoming a little more challenging! Jensen is just two months away from his 2nd birthday and everyday is something new and fun! He is absolutely obsessed with the alphabet and can now recite his ABC's and recognize every letter. He's constantly stating the letters on signs, t-shirts, labels, etc. He can also count to 10 and typically does this every time he walks up and down the stairs. His vocabulary, understanding and ability to follow commands seems to improve each day.

Jensen continues to take 2-3 hour naps and sleeps about 11-12 hours each night. This is Jensen's first week back to school since mid-December and we think he's loved getting back to see his friends and teachers! Joe said that when he dropped him off on Tuesday, he ran in and started playing with the toys like they were his long lost friends:)

Along with the new and fun things Jensen is showing us each day, he's also presenting us with wonderful parenting lessons on a daily basis. We've been using timeouts and we believe he's starting to understand what this means. Sometimes he'll receive the timeout warning and walk himself over to timeout and sit there. Other times, it's more of a struggle to keep him in time out.

Jensen has adjusted well to Keaton's arrival! His fascination with her continues. He likes to say baby, give her hugs, high-5's & knuckles and point at her eyes, mouth, nose, etc. He is a great big brother!!
