all balls, all the time

I know that having boys also includes having balls, but sheesh, come on! Jared is 10 months old, and has been throwing a ball since last month...seriously. For Jared, it is all about the balls, and he doesn't really care if it is a small ball or a large ball. Hard ball or soft ball. As long as it can be thrown, he does not have a preference. And he actually throws it to us, right on target.


I must admit, a part of me is hopeful he is a child prodigy and can support Ben and I with his balling skills when we are 80 years old and still living it up!

When Makenna was this age she carried a pen around with her everywhere, 

when she needed to crawl, she would stash the pen in her mouth (safe, I know). 

This is what Jared does with balls...

This boys smile is so contagious.  Jared has the sweetest disposition,

he loves to laugh, and anytime he hears music, he does the 

best body dance you can imagine.  There is something special about this guy...

As busy as ever, he has places to be...but it won't stop him from 

having his ball with him.  Clever little guy, he just uses his mouth

to hold the ball, and off he goes.  I just love this age, and all the excitement

Jared has for life right now.
