Silly AJ 2.0

More Aj being his silly self.

Feeding himself Jello . . .

and making new friends in the process!

Photos taken for a school project

AJ crawling around UVU (mostly) naked!

I walked back into the living room to see that AJ had found a box of tissues.

AJ with Dixie, AKA the living vacuum cleaner.

And finally the newest AJ video!

Our Silly Baby

I never get to post these photos because they are completely out of context, but I think I have enough of them to make whole post about my silly kid now! 

All bundled up

 Sitting on Mommy's shoulders attempting to distract her from her math homework

 Just taking a quick nap

 Hanging out in the laundry basket

First time in the jumper.  It took him a while to figure it out

Trying to get a good photo . . . 

Watching some TV 

 Exploring the house

Playing with his paper bag 

Tangled up in Daddy's shirt. 

And finally . . . AJ eating the Constitution of the United States. 

4th of July

We spent the afternoon swimming in MawMaw and PawPaw's pool

In fact he had so much fun he felt the need to climb face first into the tub with his swimming suit still on!  He was quite pleased with himself.

We finished up the night by watching Captain America, because nothing says Independence Day like punching Nazis.

Happy Independence Day!

It's Official: He's up!

He's up and into EVERYTHING!

He loves chasing after spots of light.

Climbing on the swing.

He's so proud of himself! 

 Fortunately we invested in some heave duty baby gates to keep him out of the kitchen and dining room, that's something at least!

Exploring the House

The day after Grandpa Herb and Grandma Mary left AJ decided he would learn to crawl and explore the house.  He went everywhere.  I think he may have been looking for them!

Not under the piano

 Not under the saucer

 Not in the hallway

Not in the kitchen

Not in the fridge

Not on the shelf either.

 He gave up after a couple of days, and now he just looks for cords.

AJ's Favorites

AJ's favorite way to sleep.  We call this the floppy chicken.

 AJ's favorite food.  Anything that is not peas.

AJ's favorite place to hang out.

 AJ's favorite thing to chew on.  That would be his sock.

AJ's favorite Toys:  The box,

any and all shoes,

and his very own (non working) Laptop!  He loves to sit and bang on that keyboard.  We're not sure if he's writing a novel, or coding programs.  Either way we're pretty sure he's a genius.

AJ's favorite people:  YOU! 

Happy Mother's Day!  We love you!

AJ's First Baseball Game!

We went with MawMaw and PawPaw to the BYU baseball game!  Unfortunately it was cold and the boy was tired.

He finally fell asleep only to be woken up by the crowd and music.

 We kept him busy for a few minutes with MawMaw's phone . . . 

and PawPaw's face!  This is my favorite picture of them.  I am so grateful to have such wonderful family members that live so close.  They are always willing to give my son great experiences.

Please DON'T pass the peas!

So AJ is six months old and the doctor finally gave us the okay to start introducing baby food.  We already started some over a month ago.  We know he likes apples, bananas, carrots, sweets potatoes, squash and prunes.  Today we tried peas.

He wasn't so sure about that.

He continued to make this face for several spoonfuls.

I decided to try heating them up to see if that made things better.  It didn't.

Never at any point did he spit any out, turn his head away from the spoon, close his mouth, or refuse food in anyway.  He did however start to cry.

But only in between bites that HE CONTINUED TO EAT!  Continuing to eat and crying the entire time.

Today I learned that my son doesn't like peas, and he WON'T under any circumstances refuse food.
