Jaiden

Jaiden's to be quite a cute little kid. He's still a punk most days, but he's definitely a charmer.

He's learned this new trick where he says

"Oh, HI MAMA!" or "Oh, HI DADDY!" with the darnest smile and tone.

If you're not careful, you get suckered into it and have your heart melted on the spot.

"Oh hi Jaiden...."

you say with all smiles...

wait a minute....

JAIDEEEEN?!?!

He only does that when he's being mischievous and he knows it.

but it's just the cutest thing!! :)

He's been saying more and more words, and I'm afraid he'll be talking non-stop in no time.

OH HOW I DREAD THAT!

;)

If he's anything like his big brother, SHOOT ME NOW!

His new found love is for GHOSTS, saying "TRICK-OR TREAT", WITCHES and anything to do with Halloween. He's also saying lots of words in Japanese, like "atta (I got it), doko (where), "haku" (to put on his shoes), etc and he most certainly does understand everything I say to him in Japanese. It's amazing how kids can be bilingual at such an early age! It never ceases to amaze me.

Jaiden loves his brother and is FEARLESS.

The other day, we went to Chick-fil-a with some friends for lunch. as I glanced up from the table to check on the boys who were all in the play-ground area when I saw little Jaiden snatch a shoe from a rather tall and older boy and RUN with it. The boy began to run after him, not knowing what had just happened, but realizing Jaiden had tiny fast legs, couldn't catch up to him and began to cry. It all happened in matters of seconds, but I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT! That little punk! He really knows no bound.

And yet, we have time and time again decided that we'll keep him. :)

We sure do love his energy, and well, for the laughs he brings in to our lives.

We never can fathom what life would have been without him, although it was a close call and give many many thanks to our Heavenly Father for allowing him to stay with us...punk!
