Our cute little "Jaybers" turned 11 this month. Where has the time gone?
This is a picture of Jayden and Uncle Dave on Jayden's 1st birthday. Can you tell that Dave didn't have kids of his own yet and was trying to get Jayden into the camo' scene? (Sorry, Dave, it didn't stick, but you've done a good job with your own boys.)
I've always loved Jayden's blonde, whispy hair and his sweet smile. Jayden (age 3) is running in this picture, which is his typical pace.
Jayden does not like cake - WHAT KID DOES NOT LIKE CAKE? - So, he asked for a chocolate cream pie for his birthday. Okay, I can handle an aversion to cake if it means chocolate pie. 
Jayden has always been a ham. It's really hard to get him to be serious in a picture. I'm not really sure what he's doing here - maybe one of the candles just wouldn't go out. Don't know.
Mmm, pie. I guess he has an aversion to eating utensils, too. It's okay, it's his birthday, I'll let table manners slide just this once.
I guess with turning 11 comes the responsibility with fire. Leon let him light his own birthday pie - he was so proud. What is it with boys and fire?
Some random facts about Jayden:
He was my chunkiest baby
He is our pickiest eater and has been from the start. Not sure how he got chunky.
He is short for his age, but makes up for it in energy.
He is very expressive - tells me what he wants, likes, hates, and feels.
He does not like to work.
He likes music, but tries not to show it.
He is somewhat competetive and wants to succeed at everything.
I don't think I've ever had to get after him to do his schoolwork.
He loves babies. Really.
He loves soft things and still has "Special" (an old baby blanket).
He collects Beanie Baby rabbits and is proud of it.
He likes to do things his own way and not go with the mold.
He likes the Denver Broncos.
Jayden is so much like me, it's kinda' scary.
WE LOVE JAYDEN!

Jayden has always been the most adorable kid. Remember his "dandelion puff" hair when he was a small baby? I loved that.
He's such a crack up. And you're right... he IS a lot like you. But that cannot be a bad thing.
Happy Birthday to Jayden! (Or to Jayber Joo-ber Job-er.) :)
He is so cute. I'm glad that he had a special day!
I agree with Laurel it isn't a bad thing that he is most like you. Your a great person!
Maybe it's a second-born thing...that's why you are so similar. I am a big fan of second-borns...I married me one!! He was such a cute little baby and still is a cute kid. Happy Birthday, Jayden!
(I'm not sure who has changed more, Dave or Jayden?)
