Our Little Driver

Nolan's mom has become quite the garage sale shopper and is amazing at finding great deals! She stopped by a sale the other day, saw a fun little car-exersaucer in wonderful condition and asked the lady how much. "$5" was all that they were asking. What makes this deal so amazing is knowing that the same thing would be listed for at least $40 on Craigslist... probably more because it's in such good shape and it makes lots of fun noises and lights up. So now we have an exersaucer for upstairs and downstairs, which makes me very happy. Until a week or two ago, Jace was still content to hang out in his bouncer while I got ready in the mornings, but then it became too boring (and he's probably too big, too). So the exersaucer went upstairs, and we started missing it downstairs (but were too lazy, or perhaps smart, to carry it up and down the stairs as needed).

Jace LOVES this little car! While playing in it last night, he discovered the mirror and that he could see himself. Nolan and I were laughing so hard at his reaction to it. Each time he'd notice himself, he'd quickly grab it with both hands and lean in until his nose touched it. We finally thought to grab the camera. While this shows his interest in himself, it's not quite as funny as before. But still cute, so enjoy!

The funniest thing he did prior to us getting the camera out was that he would try to look around the mirror to find the kid he kept seeing.

Now isn't that so fun! I have never seen one like that! He is so funny! OH and when we twatched the video Micah said, "Mom, Jace looked at me!" When Jace would look at the camera...:) haha! They never cease to amaze parents at the things they say and do! :)
