Mr. Independent

Jace is now walking as of Wed. July 7th. He is up to about 10-12 steps consistently. So proud of himself. He just beams and claps. Too cute. According to big brother, Barrett, that is when you officially lose the baby status and begin to morph into big boy status. "But he's not as big as me yet," he says. Jace is becoming more and more independent by the day and into all sorts of things now. He loves the Tupperware cabinet, pulling books off of bookshelves, dumping out the toy baskets and getting into them--in short, he has already perfected the art of making a mess :) Today, he discovered how much fun it is to unroll the toilet paper.

Just look at that grin.

Even in mischief, I could eat him with a spoon!
