My Little Cowboy

He's become a bit wild on the horse now thanks to his partner-in-crime, Allie-Cat!

He was riding him so fast I couldn't get a clear shot!

Our little wild man!

Bathtime Breakdown

After AJ woke up this morning, I drew a bath for him and let him play for a few minutes.  He was having a grand 'ol time with all of his toys and was splashing his hands around in the tub, when all of a sudden Mommy brought out the big black box.  His entire demeanor changed and he became cranky AJ.  All I wanted to do was get some cool pics of him splashing in the tub, but instead this is what I got...

Someone wasn't happy when Mommy brought out the camera.

'Stop taking my picture'

'Enough already'

'I just want to take a bath in peace'

A furry friend stopped by for a couple of seconds and AJ stopped fussing.

But once Porter left, it was back to being upset.

'I'm going to leave if you don't stop Mom!'

Teacher AJ

Cioci Kimmy is helping me out by watching AJ on Tuesdays while my in-laws are on vacation.  Katie started the trend by pretending to be teacher and asking both Allie and AJ to sit on their bottoms so she could read to them.

So once Katie was done, AJ followed suit and decided to be teacher AJ!

AJ's New Friend

As we were leaving Babcia and Dziadzi's tonight, I was buckling AJ in his carseat when a new friend decided to join us.  Butterscotch had helped himself right into our car and wanted to snuggle with AJ!

We have a visitor!

Trying to find a comfortable spot on AJ's lap

Still trying.. unfortunately his furry bottom was in AJ's face! 

AJ was loving the snuggles from Butterscotch

Butterscotch wanted to pose for the camera!

Front Camera

Sorry for the overload of AJ and me pictures, but AJ is currently obsessed with taking pictures from the iPhone's front camera.  I'm not going to argue though.. I'm loving the cuddle and camera time we're getting together!

Visit from 'Auntie' Carrie and Lilly

'Auntie' Carrie and Lilly came over again tonight for another visit.  (I know - two visits in one month - shocking!)  Carrie, Michael and I made two amazing quiches and Lilly made a cheese and pepperoni pizza.  After dinner, of course there was lots of girl talk between Carrie and I while AJ and Lilly played in the living room.  But then AJ wanted to get in on the girl talk....

He also wanted to let us know which coupons were good deals.

What a mess he made during our girl talk! haha

Haircut at My New Haircut

Michael's co-worker told him about a new barbershop in town (My New Haircut) so when it was time to get AJ's haircut, we decided to give the new shop a whirl.  We were very impressed with the shop!  It has a nice waiting area with cartoons on tv for the kiddos and plenty of books/coloring books to keep the kids occupied if they're not interested in television.  

We had about a 15-20 minute wait before it was AJ's turn, but he was completely content with watching Caillou for a bit before turning it over to the coloring books.  (Mom - he went straight for the Halloween coloring book - you would have been proud!)  He was in really good spirits.  But then it was AJ's turn to sit in the barber's chair.  He was fine for the first few minutes, but then the meltdown ensued.  He was not thrilled about nor did he care that there was a super cool tv behind the mirror and that lady - she was using scissors on him, ugh!  Of course Michael and I are standing there with our phones trying to bring up a Thomas and Disney Junior app to try and distract AJ, but nothing worked.  He was cranky and not happy about getting his hair cut at all.  The barber even told us that we could come by a little bit later in the week when AJ had calmed down if we wanted, but we figured we would just get it over and done with in this one shot.  

After all was said and done, even though AJ was cranky and upset with us, he came out looking like a million bucks!  Our handsome little boy was back!

Not too excited about her cutting the lower portion of his hair

He was ok for this though...

Daddy showing AJ a Thomas the Train video on YouTube to keep him distracted

More Thomas that kept him calm

And this was right before he had his meltdown.... But we survived and he came out with a super cute cut (which I forgot to take a photo of!)!
