December 28, 2010 – week 16

Merry Christmas Little boy! Your first Christmas was filled with lot of friends and family. You were the life of every party and every get together that we went to. You learned how to do raspberries and stick of your tongue this week and were very proud of your newfound talents. Of course every time you met someone new you had to show them your new trick and no one could resist you cuteness

You are such a wonderful, happy baby and I feel so lucky to be your mother. I always knew that I wanted to be a mom, but you have made it so much more special than I ever thought possible.

December 21, 2010 – week 15

You had your first visit with Santa this week. As always you were a great happy baby.  We have had some pretty big rainstorm come through town this week. On Saturday morning you were in bed with us for your morning feeding. The rain was coming down really hard and could be heard on the roof top. You were so amazed by it that you stopped eating and spent five minutes just staring up at the ceiling. You reminded me that something as simple as the rain is new to you.

December 14, 2010 week 14

Fourteen weeks ago I was worried that I would run out of ideas to write or take photos of, yet just the opposite is true. I had in mind a whole series of photo shoots for the month of December and here we are not even 2 weeks in and you do something so cool we have to catch it! Earlier this week I placed you in your crib to do some tummy time 5 minutes later I walk back into your room and some how you were on your back! You have yet to do it again, but I am keeping my eyes open. Ever since I told your daddy he has been working with you to roll over. So last night when we were cooking dinner it surprised me to see you reaching for a toy that was on the other side of you. Twisting you body to do so all signs that you are getting bigger and stronger. You amaze your dad and I every day we are having so much fun watching you grow and explore your newfound tricks. For example you have found new tones and coo’s that you love to show off every chance you get. A lot of times we will find you singing to your self or the dog. Keeping growing baby boy we love you.

December 7, 2010 week 13

The count to down to your first Christmas has begun! Right now you have yet to figure out what Christmas is all about but I have to say I am so excited. All I can keep thinking about is showing you all of our family traditions and creating new ones with you. We started off December with a trip to pick out our Christmas tree you were very happy all bundled up. You started day care last week,  I missed you so much on the first day that I left work early to come and get you. Your teachers gave you lots of love the first day and by the second day you were talking up a storm and showing off your winning smile.  You got your first cold this week, but you really have been a trooper and I hope you feel better soon.

November 13, 2010 - Week 12

The season has started for all your first holiday, here is a photo of you at your first Thanksgiving. While we were all eating yummy food you sat next to us and played like a really good boy in Grandma-ma's activity center. You had trouble reaching some of the toys but later in the week when we went over for some home made Turkey soup you had started to figure how to move the toys. On Saturday we saw you cousin Lane, we laid both of you down next to each other and she started to beat you up. You took it like a man and let her get away with it, just like you always will. Cause know matter what she is family and you will always protect her.

11/23/2010 - Week 11

Big Boy sleeping in your big boy bed. I never thought I would put you to sleep in your crib this young. I found that you actually slept a lot better in your own room in your own crib and who am I to stand between a baby and his sleep. For the last two and half month your Daddy and I have been learning your cries so we know how to answer your needs and wants. Earlier this week you scared us when you let out a cry that we had never heard before, we have started to call it your "Big Boy cry". I am starting to realize that the time I have with you is so precious and will go by way to quick. I promise to always love you and enjoy every moment that I get to share with you.

Every week I am filled with amazement at how fast you are growing. This week, I found you laying starring intensely at your hand just rotating it back in forward trying to figure it out. You have shown great interest in your hands and feet. You love hitting and kicking objects that are near you. Since the day you were born, you always loved to "talk", but in the last week you have become quite the conversationalist. Everyday we sit down and have a nice long talk about your day. I love to hear you laugh and up until this week it has been a baby laugh. Then I heard the most beautiful sound, an actual giggle. I have only heard you do it once, but I cant wait to hear it on a more regular bases   

You are wearing a very special shirt in this photo it belong to a little boy named Blake. His Mommy was one of Mommy's best friend, this was her favorite shirt for Blake. When or friend Steffani had a baby boy she passed this shirt on to her and her son Julian and now the shirt has been passed on to  you.

One day you will realize how lucky you are, so many people absolutely love you

A boy and his dog, a bond that only will grow stronger as you both get older. Since the day we brought you home Anne looked after you like you were one of her own. She has a look when you cry that we have started to call her "mamma dog" look, she will do anything for you. Yesterday you had your 2 month check, you are in the 86% for your hight and 51% for your weight. You are so long that your pants have turned into shorts, so I have actually started dressing you in your 3-6 month cloth. You are growing too quick, it make me realize how much I need to appreciate every minute.

FEAR THE BEARD

Thanks Auntie Shannon, I love my shirt I wore it on the winning game of the world serious and again when we went to the world championship parade. My mommy was scared that the parade would be too loud but thanks to her covering my ears I slept the whole time. I love baseball and have watched every game of the world serious. Baseball is one of my favorite things to watch on TV. I am always a happy baby when My Giants are winning. I cant help but get fussy if we are losing

What an exciting week we had together. We spent the time looking at daycares trying to find the right one for you to learn, play and grow. This week your colic got pretty bad, your poor tummy was hurting you so much. Both your daddy and I tried everything we could to sooth you. When you were feeling better you made sure to show us how strong you are becoming by lifting you head and looking around when we were holding you. We also found a new game to play with your pacifier; it is sure to make you smile and even laugh every time. We are still trying to show Daddy how to play, but don’t worry he will figure it out.

Week 6 10/19/10

Sweet Sleep... You are a great sleeper at night, but during the day you fight sleeping with all you might. I am finding the only ways to get you to sleep is to take you out and run errands all day, then and only then are you a happy baby. Your father and I joke that you are more like us then we could imagine, you have to be busy and hate to hand out around the house all day.

Tag Daddy...Aaron and Baby Aj playing. He has grown so much this week; I started to notice that his little legs and arms are getting chubby. Everyday is a new adventure with him and this week was no exception. Ever since Aj was born we have always been amazed at how strong his neck is, this week he started to lift it up and look around when we care him on our shoulders. Aj has been smiling more and more, I keep trying to get a photo of it but he is just too quick for me. I do have to say I swear he laughed at me tonight when we were playing...but maybe it was just my imagination

Aj had his first real smile this week! A game of Mommy (or Daddy) kisses is sure to bring a smile to his face ;-) This week Aj's photo has a guest appearance, his new baby cousin Lane. I am looking forward to watching these to growing up together especially since they are only 2 weeks apart in age.
