I have to share this with you guys lol.

Jasper has started this new thing where he's determined to get onto my shoulder (never cared to before). He'll be on my hand and he'll slowly work his way up my arm, even if I'm blocking the way he'll eventually move like a bullet and get there.

Once he's on my shoulder he runs from shoulder to shoulder LAUGHING. It's hilarious! I go to reach for him and he'll gently grab my finger then run to the other side. Last night he did it for like 15 min!

I laid down on the carpet on my stomach and he was running around my back laughing and running back to grab my finger. Couldn't get him off for ages but that was ok, I was laughing like a crazy person the entire time :D

He's a nut ball, love him to death :D

It's like the moon-landing for him. He's planted his flag. One small step for Jasper, one giant leap for... JASPER!

Video, NOW. :eek: My gosh, he sounds like the cutest little boy! Noah's mainly been a pain in the tush lately, so seeing a green boy not being a brat might be a nice change of pace :rolleyes:. Man, he's been a brat. I should probably take a page out of your book and play with a crinkly plastic bag tomorrow with him.

Haha yeah it's awesome! What a personality.

No idea how I'll record this but I'll try to think of something, he certainly engages to play daily!

Oh my gosh, he sounds so adorable. With the video, what if you set up the camera on a table or something, so you don't have to actually hold it? That might be easier.

Hahahahaha! Jasper is such a character! I love hearing about his antics!

Yeah, I just bought a little cellphone tripod thing for just that purpose. Maybe something similar would work for you and Jasper? I certainly hope so, because I'm dying to see a video of those shoulder runs with the manic laughter. Lol!
