Trying On

We leave for Florida this Friday so I had to try a few outfits on AJ to make sure they fit...

 

Looking super cute in a 12-18 month summer outfit

AJ and Mommy love

Thanks Baba for the shirt set - it fits me so well!

Porter Lovin'

Over the past few months, AJ has taken a liking to Porter.  He will randomly try to hug and kiss Porter... it's adorable!  And thank goodness that Porter accepts and embraces the love!  Tonight I was able to capture a few photos of the love these two share...

Sharing a moment.

He loves his kitty cat!

Hugs

Hi Mom!

They love each other!

Rudolph Fun

Ever since Christmas, AJ has been obsessed with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  We literally watch the movie about 3-4 times a day.  I've tried to switch it up and have him watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Thomas, but within the first five minutes of the different show AJ is requesting Rudolph again.  So on goes Rudolph, again.  I'm thinking Rudolph is going to become a staple in the house and we will be watching it year-round!

Hanging out on his giraffe with Rudolph on in the background.

Loving life with Rudolph!

Future Chef?

About ready to dive into Daddy's Michael Symon cookbook

Flipping through the pages trying to find something he likes.

BEEF...yum!

He found a recipe he liked!

Fun with Yogurt and Pasta!

Tonight's dinner for AJ consisted of wheat penne pasta noodles and some strawberry greek yogurt.  I usually spoon feed AJ, but figured tonight would be a perfect to let AJ do it all by himself.  He started out keeping it clean and keeping the two foods separate, but by the end all of the pasta was in the yogurt and AJ was only playing with it all instead of eating it!  Oh well... he had fun and that's all that matters!

Look at him.. doing it all by himself! By this point, I don't think any noddles had made it into the yogurt!

Telling us to 'shhhh' just because.

And here's where the messiness began... AJ realized his hand was covered in yogurt.

Then he realized both hands were covered so he kept squeezing them 

feeling the different texture on his fingers.

Finger lickin' good!

'Oooh... there's still more to lick off!'

Yum yum!

The pasta has made its way into the yogurt at this point.  And even Timber wanted to get a bite of the yogurt with pasta!

Uh oh.. AJ realized Mommy had the camera on him.  And I don't think he liked being so messy!

Relaxing Time for Mommy

Mommy got her hair highlighted and trimmed this morning... ahhh.. relaxation!

Thanks to Baba and Dziadzi for watching my little guy!

Sitting on the Potty

Grandma and Grandpa gave AJ a Thomas the Tank Engine potty seat for Christmas and we've had it in the bathroom for a couple of weeks now.  And lately, AJ has been saying 'I pee' so we've decided maybe it's time to introduce the potty to him.  I've tried to have him sit on it a few times but to no avail.  He'll sit for a second or two, then immediately get up.  So, I tried to outsmart him tonight and brought in a secret weapon - Mommy's iPad!  And it worked!  I was actually able to get him to sit on the potty for a few minutes while he played around with baby's first app!  Unfortunately, he didn't push out any pee or poop, but it's a start and I'll take it!

'Hi Mom'

Having fun with Baby's First App and learning about numbers, letters, objects and animals

'A whale goes squiiirt!'

Concentrating.

Back to playing!
