my not-a-baby-anymore baby

Jace is my baby. He is so different from Reuben. Not only did I get my brown-eyed baby, but he's also a mama's boy (still) and not as talkative (yes, still). He gets so shy around strangers, hides his face, and runs away. I remember one day when Reuben was a baby, we were at a restaurant here in town and the waitress wanted to take Reuben to show his blue eyes to the chef. We let her, and he gladly went. Now-a-days I would not only NEVER let this happen, but neither would Jace. He would cling for dear life, and I love it. We took a picture of Reuben in this outfit and Jorge's hat when he was the same age. It's the one on the left side of the blog. What do you think? Complete opposites?
Jace has been curiously exploring how underwear works. He's decided to make a fashion statement, in his support of Reuben's potty training.
I was undressing Jace to get him in the bathtub, when he escaped. This is where I found him. He wants to be everything Reuben is and do everything he does. That can be good and bad! He sometimes does not realize he's 2 years younger and I'm sure he'll be giving me a heart attack soon. Brave boy. His devilishly handsome smile says it all. I told Allison tonight that I've been blog-neglecting Jace. I've had a lot to say about Reuben with his potty training and you know, talking! But I love Jace too and wouldn't change him for the world. Just thought you should know! have a great week!

I LOVE that he ran his little naked bum to the potty! So, so cute! I just want to hug him... Can I wait 10 days??

It is so sad when your babies grow up. I wish that they could stay small longer. It is funny how different your two little guys are. But, for sure, Ruben is you and Jace is Jorge.

I think maybe you need to post again... James is having withdrawls. We were looking at Cassie's blog, and when James saw Paxton, he shouted (with joy), "Jace! Reuben! Jace!" lol. So we looked here to fill his need. But I gotta tell ya, he's not entirely satisfied. :) 'Miss you.
