New Tricks

Jaydon's verbal development has taken leaps and bounds. Everyday he's saying new words and putting new combinations together to make new sentences. His favorite game is peek-a-boo which he figures out how to play in all types of situations. Here's some dinner time fun for you...

Jaydon is very good at his animal noises...

Oh Yeah and he counts to 3 now too (actually he can count to 4 but getting these moments on video never works quite as planned).

Here's a little bare cheeked 4-wheeln' after a pool date. This is a picture that was taken back in June but I just found it on the camera. It's the boys having dinner al fresco style on the curb.

Summer Carnival

The carnival came to town and fortunately the convention center is big enough that all the fun can fit inside. We brought Jaydon to it just to give us something to do on a hot Friday afternoon not realizing that his favorite thing in the world was there. Jaydon LOVES tractors! I've been known to take detours on the way home just to drive by a few more and sometimes we even take mini car trips just to go see some. Since all of Doha is under construction it doesn't take long to find them and most morning we can spot a few from the windows. Anyway, one of the merry-go-rounds had a tractor on it which Jaydon thought was great. If it was up to him he would of stayed on that ride the whole time. The next weekend we even went back so Jaydon could show his friend Jacob how much fun the tractor ride was. He also made some new friends at a local toy both. He spotted the doggy from across the hall and ran all the way to it. Good thing most people were on the look out for little kids by so he didn't get run over in all his excitement. He also got to try one of mommy's favorite treats... ...popcorn. He figured out the best technique for it very quickly. We also convinced him to try a merry-go-round without tractors. He finally agreed and had fun riding the horses and looking handsome as ever. But no trip to the carnival is complete with out one last treat. Cotton Candy. Jaydon learned how to get extra sticky and mommy was happy the baby wipes were handy.
