My Favorite Age

I am pretty sure I have said this before about other ages and stages, but I LOVE the age that Jaren is right now. He is almost 2 1/2 and he is forever cracking me up with the things he says, his requests, and his mannerisms. For the most part he is a very easy going kid. He knows what he wants, but when he doesn't get it he recovers quite quickly. Lately he has been really into singing. His version of Jingle Bells cracks me up. First of all, it sounds like he is saying "Tinkerbell" instead of "Jinglebells." This wouldn't surprise me in the least because he DOES have two older sisters.

Today he seemed to be in a performing mood, so I got out the camera and asked him to sing us a little medley. Hope it makes you smile.

Too cute! 2 years old is my favorite age, too. I always tell my husband that...they just learn so much and are so freaking adorable at this point!

Too sweet! I just wanted to reach into the screen and pick him up and squeeze him. The boys heard me playing this and came over to watch, and just started giggling, especially through his counting :) He is SUCH a doll. I can't believe how big he is getting!!! It seems like just yesterday I was taking photos of him at 6 months old. Pretty soon HE'LL be in kindergarten, Paige! Don't blink :)

he is SUCH a cutie! I hope you're used to the growling because it does not go away! :)
On Sunday I overheard him saying "pretty" several times (so cute) -- definitely the influence of older sisters because I don't think my boys uttered that word for many many years.

Definately one of the cutest ages. It would be a riot to get some other 2 1/2 yr old cousins together---like Rissi, Tali, Jordan, Tommy.........

I have to second Grandma there! I LOVE my 2 year old kiddos!! It makes me sad to think of it evaporating away. Good thing ages 3 and 4 are still pretty darn cute! He IS totally a boy! Love the numbers--and Tinkerbell! It would be fun to play with the whole group!
