Thanksgiving 2010

While I was preparing food for Thanksgiving dinner, I put AJ in his highchair with his pancake & eggs and left him to eat while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Occasionally I would peek around the corner to check on him. At one point, I noticed all of his breakfast was gone so when I went to get him out of his high chair, I saw that my wonderful son apparently decided he didn't want his eggs. What does one do when they don't want to eat something??? They throw it on the floor of course!! What a funny kid.




After a long day of eating and napping at my parent's house, it was finally time to go home. I wanted to get a picture of myself with AJ and as you can see, he was a little reluctant...

Take one (thinking hard)

Take 2 (camera shy)

Take 3 (looking a little grouchy, but it will do)

Big Boy Walking!!!

AJ took 3 steps about a month ago and hasn't cared to even attempt walking ever since. Today, however, was a different story. I went to Starr's house to pick him up after work and her and I were sitting on the floor talking. I was looking at Starr and all of a sudden AJ stood up behind her and started walking. I grabbed my phone and started recording. Here he is walking to Starr (she's luring him with a spoon).

After that he was walking non-stop. Here he is in Starr's kitchen. You can see Nevaeh walking around too. She would walk a little bit and wait for him and then walk a little more and wait for him again. It was so cute!!!

AJ walked around forever after this and would actually get mad if I tried to help him up. He wanted to do it all by himself. I ended up taking him to my parent's house for them to see. He threw a fit when I picked him up because he wanted to keep walking.

I'm so excited! It's about time!! Everyone tells me that I'm going to hate it now that he's walking because he'll be in all kinds of trouble now, but I honestly think I'll love it. Our house is pretty "baby proof" so now if he wants something, he can go get it himself instead of whining to me. :)

Messy Boy!!

AJ absolutely LOVES pizza. I cut his up for him and left him to eat while I prepared my food. When I returned, this is what I found....


How on Earth he managed to get it on his eyebrow is beyond me!! Needless to say, he went straight from the high chair to the tub.
