Friday Artwork

Today PJ was sent home with this bit of art.  I find it impressive because he took long swipes with the marker not just dots.  Whenever we have colored (in the last week or so) he just likes to make dots and short marks. 

Wakeup Snack

Some would call a wakeup snack breakfast, but PJ actually has a full breakfast at 7am with his daycare buddies. So why a snack 45 minutes prior to a full breakfast? PJ is a hungry boy when he wakes up. This morning he woke up about 20 minutes earlier than expected and cuddlier than ever.  I hadn't showered and was not at all ready for work.  So we found compromise this morning.  I took a few minutes and we cuddled while PJ drank some milk.  Then I re-filled his milk, provided a couple handfuls of cheerios in a suction cup bowl suctioned to the toilet and took a quick shower.  I was even able to capture PJ still enjoying his snack after my shower, which allowed me to get my makeup done today too!

Too busy to even look at me for the picture

PJ and Momma

PJ was a happy boy tonight. He wanted lots of cuddles and I was happy to oblige. We read two long books before bed and enjoyed our cuddles.

We Have a Climber

Tonight PJ showed off his climbing skills by getting up on the rocker. High degree of difficulty, but not that big a deal for PJ.

Can't Let Go

PJ has been experimenting as he learns on his own to drink milk and eat food with less interferance from Mom and Dad.  Most recently he has started to enjoy larger chunks of food that he can take his own bites from and hold in both hands.  This morning PJ enjoyed his french toast so much, putting it down to take a drink was not an option.  PJ likes to hold things in both hands and does this when walking around during playtime, its funny to now see that same action in the high chair. 

Full hands does not stop PJ from getting his milk too!

PJ's New Truck

Yesterday at O's Birthday party, PJ got a gift too!  A Caterpillar bulldozer that has a talking driver and vibrating action is already a favorite.  PJ likes the two other trucks he has but this one is yellow and loud, two fantastic attributes for this little boy.  This morning he went back and forth the living room pushing they new toy.

Little O's First Birthday

Today was little O's first birthday celebration and we were happy to be a part of it.  PJ and O hadn't seen each other in quite some time but after giving each other a few funny looks they had a good time planning with O's new toys.  We took a lot of pictures, but my favorites are below.

Little O in his new wagon not sure he wants to share with PJ, this was quite the stare down between each other

PJ spent quite a bit of time getting in and out of the wagon, without letting go of the water cup

Flannel Shirt at Daycare

Today PJ's teacher loved his little flannel shirt so she captured some more pictures.  We love seeing him happy and busy while he isn't with us.

Cute Sweatpants

Today Ry dressed PJ and thought it was a good day to go casual with sweats.  I don't usually put sweatpants on PJ because he has nicer pants, but perhaps he should wear these pants more often.  They fit him well and they are so dang cute or maybe that's just the boy wearing them.  What do you think?

Cute tushy!

Look at that belly handing out!

Noodles

At daycare they do sensory tubs which they fill with feathers, water, cornstarch and water, and apparently noodles.  I love these two pictures of PJ really getting into the noodles, and then of course climbing onto the sensory tub table.  PJ's teacher has told me that since this incident she is working on teaching him "Feet on the floor, please."  We use that same expression at home and its funny to see him sometimes put up a leg and then look at me or his dad to see if we will say it our let him climb up. 

Noodles!

On the table!
