Necklaces!

AJ loves to play around with my necklaces!

Naptime for my Sweet Boy

Haircut

AJ got a haircut today.  It was by far the worst experience we've had with him yet - Daddy had to cradle hold him in the chair and Mommy had to hold his head so Ali could cut his hair.  There were lots of tears and crying, but in the end - AJ got a cute haircut and he survived!

He's got a little bit of cheese in his teeth, but who cares?! Isn't he adorable?!

Tractor Fun and a Frog

While outside today, AJ got to sit on Daddy's tractor and see a frog!

'I wish this horn made noise!'

Steering away!

Can you see the froggy?!

A New Bike!

While the girls drove around on their tricycles on Monday, AJ was running around and trying to catch the girls.  I thought nothing of it, but Baba was a bit upset about it.  She thought AJ felt left out because he didn't have a small tricycle to ride of his own.  So Baba went out and got AJ his own shiny new red tricycle to keep at Baba and Dziadzi's house for playtime!  Lucky AJ!

'I'm gonna make this thing make noise!'

Excited for his new ride!

Trying to get the hang of it

Looking like such a big boy! 

Weee!

Learning how...

'I did it!'

Dziadzi provided some assistance.

AJ loved it!

Safe from the Crocodiles

We had to go in the garage and onto the bed of Dziadzi's truck this afternoon to stay away from the crocodiles or else we could have gotten eaten!  I love Katie's imagination!

We couldn't just sit there either...we had to watch Peter Pan on Baba's iPhone!

Enthralled by Peter Pan.

Bow!

Now that the sun is starting to get more plentiful and we have a fish tank near the windows, the light catches just right and sometimes see rainbows on the carpet.  I showed AJ one today and he got soo excited!  The 'bow' kept him entertained for at least 5 minutes!

Best Friends.

We came home to find these two sleeping together on our bed.

Static Electricity!

After lunch with Julie, Reyo and X at the 99 in Dayville, we headed over to Owen Bell Park to let the kids get some energy out.  It was quite packed and adventurous! Mommy got told she wasn't allowed on the playground equipment by a snotty 8-year old (I'm guesstimating her age!) even though I was following AJ and making sure he was ok... and AJ learned all about static electricity!! Overall, it was a fun visit with our friends - we can't wait until next time at Thomas the Train!

Firsts at Fenway

Auntie Lauren and Uncle Matt had invited us to go to a Red Sox game about a month or so ago....  but as the week progressed, things weren't looking so great.  First the bombing at the Boston Marathon on Monday and then the city was on lockdown all day Friday while trying to find the other suspect.  Lucky for us though, the suspect was captured late Friday night so our trip up to Boston was a go for today!  AJ was very excited about going to Fenway since it is his first major league baseball game!  And he finally gets to see his brick! Mommy on the other hand - she is excited to spend time with family, but would love if it were a Yankees game instead!!

Right before we entered the gates for Fenway

Once we got in, we immediately went over to where the bricks were and found AJ's!

Standing right above his brick.

There it is!

See it mom?!

Then we went over to Guest Services and got a 'First Visit' package.  It included a 'My 1st Game at Fenway' button, a little packet of Fenway dirt, a bracelet and some stickers - a nice little keepsake for his first major league game!  

Waiting for the game to start

After finding out seats, we sat for a bit before the start of the game.  This was the Red Sox's first game back home since the Marathon bombing and it was quite emotional (even for me as a Yankee fan!).  They showed  pictures from the Marathon bombings on the big screen, had Marathon volunteers walk out on the field, played the National Anthem which the whole stadium sang and had survivors throw out the first pitch.  Needless to say, I don't think there was a dry eye in the stadium after the presentation... there was definitely a sense of unity and community among everyone and even some chants of 'USA' from the crowds.  

Then it was game time! 

Molly was quite interested in AJ while the game was going on....

But AJ wasn't too interested in her unfortunately!

'Oh wait.. she has a flower in her hair.. I can try to get it!'

At this point I think he was more interested in the game than Molly.  Poor Molly!

To keep the kiddos entertained throughout the game, we kind of played musical chairs.  It worked out because a few seats in front of us were empty!  Auntie Lauren and AJ enjoyed a new view from those seats for a bit. 

And AJ gave me his signature cheese face!

He made a new friend too!  The woman sitting in front of us was all about helping entertain AJ - she let him help in crushing her peanut shells on the ground and kept joking and playing around with him!  

He was digging her!

Hi Mom!

During the 8th inning, Neil Diamond made a surprise appearance to sing his famed 'Sweet Caroline' song.  He came out on the field right where we were sitting - it was pretty cool!

Cousins first time at Fenway together!

 

By the end of the game, AJ was ready to go!  

But one quick group photo before we left!

The Red Sox won - Boston Strong!

Michael made sure to buy his Boston Strong hat to help benefit the victims of the bombings before we left.

  

Our Little Family

Out to Dinner

Daddy had some gift cards to the 99 restaurant so out for dinner we went tonight!

AJ sat in a booster seat for the first time tonight... he actually did pretty well for the 

2 minutes he was in there before standing up the entire meal!

Oooh popcorn!

Nom nom!

As we were getting ready to leave, our little one snuck under the table and took his drink with him!

What a silly boy!

Me and my favorite little man!
