Dear Aj,
What can I say chicks dig you, chickens that is! We had the pleasure of being invited to a friends house who had chickens running around. You loved being able to pet and feed them. At first you stayed nice and close to me when the chickens came running over looking for food but by the time we left you were chasing after them. The next day we had to take all three cats to the vet, you were so tired because you missed your nap. You were such a trooper but finally you just either need to be held or fall asleep. Falling asleep was not going to happen so you settled on being held. When we were leaving someone came in with 2 eight week old puppies. The bigger kids were petting the puppies so we asked if it would be okay to pet the puppies as well. I am always so proud of you, most children your age are not gentle with animals. You have a special knack and are very kind when you meet new animal. This was no exception, you gentle reached your hand out to the puppy and the puppy promptly started licking your hand, you pulled it away laughing and then tried again.
Puppies and Babies what a cute combination
A couple weeks back we were out shopping and I had a little extra credit in a store so I got you a small stuffed white cat that would meow. You loved it! Every time someone pressed the cats tummy to make it meow you could not stop your self from laughing. The kitty is climbing that latter to being your favorite toy, when you are tired you like to hold it, when you are scared you like to chew on its face (wired I know but I think it is because you dont have the pacifer)
No matter whether it is an aniaml, stuffed or real you love it. You are truly a sweet natured little boy.
Love your very Proud Mommy

Dear Aj,
How is it a week can go by and it seems like forever ago. Every day I feel so lucky to be your Mother, but our lives are so busy memories seem to fade as fast as they are made. These letters to you are my way of remembering, they are my way of never forgetting the way you are today.
Forever my precious little boy

Dear Aj,
One day you will be a healthy little boy, but this year your little body is learning how to fight off all the new germs that in come into counter with. Last Wednesday, you came home with a fever of 103 by Thursday afternoon it went up to 105.5, your poor little body was on fire. This was your first very high fever and your Daddy and I were really worried about you. We tried ever trick in the book to bring your fever down but in the end your fever just needed to run its course and came down on its own. Every time you get sick you always amaze me at how strong you are. You don't cry as long as I am close by, you just sit in my lap, snuggled in close finding comfort in my arms. You are my brave boy.
Even though you had a cold you still had enough energy to figure out new tricks. For one you can reach the door knobs now and I feel it wont be long until you can start to turn them on their own. You still play with how you can make different sounds with the tools that are around you. Tonight as I was cooking dinner you had fun playing with a whisk, cooling rack and sauce pan. You filled the air with beautiful music.
Till Next week Little Boy
Love your Mommy

Dear Aj
Have I told you recently what a joy you are and how much your Father and I adore you. I never want you to forget how much you are loved. One day many years from now, when you are a crazy teenager and are thinking crazy teenage thoughts, you can turn to these letters and hear just how special and wonderful you are. No matter what are relationship will be at the time (I am hoping GREAT) you can always look back on these letter and know that not matter what you have done, my love for you is endless
As always you are full of great surprises. My favorite of the week is your new catch phrase "Wow. Wow. Wow." you will walk around the house playing and all of a sudden there it is. I can't help but smile when I hear your little voice.
We are starting to enter into a new level of play time! Your are bringing life into your stuffed animals, whether it is a gorilla walking on the ottoman or you giving big hugs and kisses to your special animal. Last night we pulled out the play dough, the texture was so new and interesting to you. You loved putting the piece back into its jar. You watched in amazement as I rolled the pieces into balls so that we could smash them flat. Another on of your favorite pass time right now our your books! There is one book that you are quite fond of, you carry it around the house with you and when someone comes over you like to have them read it to you. The book has animal piece that pop out, you have a new favorite animal that you want to carry every week. First it was the cat and the dog, then the pig and sheep now it is the duck and lamb.
As you get older l can only imagine all the fun that we are going to have and all the trouble that you are going to get into. You are a very good boy, but the last couple of weeks you have started testing us. It started with you hitting my face out of excitement (we are working on being gentle) and then for some reason destroying the orchid that is in Mommy and Daddy's bedroom. You walk over to it and throw the faux grass out of the pot. I have told you no sternly but you just laugh at me, I tell you no and turn you away but you just turn right back around and laugh at me. I have tried a handful of other discipline tactics and you just turn around and laugh. I finally had to slap your hand, don't worry I did not hurt you, you laughed at me when I did it. However you did leave the pot alone. I am not a big fan of that method and I can not wait until I can put you on time out. This is just the start of you becoming your own person and learning how to explore the word around you. I will always be here when you fall, when you need carrying and when you need guiding.
I am always here for you
Love
Mom

Happy New Years Baby Boy!
You rang in the New Year with 7 of your best friends. Your very best friend Kairi was here and youplayed the night away, finally going to bed at 10:00pm. We put both of you to bed at the same time, you in your crib and Kiari in the portacrib. The next morning you woke and Kiari had gone home to her own crib. You kept pointing to the crib and walking over to it and looking inside for Kairi.
I have mention before that you have a love for music. For your birthday you got a drum filled musical toys, your favorite part of the gift was the 2 drum sticks and the drum itself. Somehow, somewhere your Daddy was able to get you a full mini drum set (a kick drum, a tom, a snare and a crash) You can really wail on that thing. I love seeing how happy you are when you play on it, but I think I may have to invest in a good set of ear plugs
A couple days ago I thought you walked up to me and said "Hi" I said no that is not what I heard, but no sure enough as the days went on there it was again "Hi" and it was just the cutest "Hi" I have ever heard. Then as I was leaving this morning I was packing up my bag, you look over your shoulder to me and said "bye-bye" and then went back to watching you show. When Daddy picked you up today from, he called and told me that you were the door man at school today and said "bye-bye" to everyone as you left
I love our life together and am very proud of myself for learning how to find the balance between working and being a Mom. I know that we do not spend all day together, but I have realized that it is okay as long as the time we do spend together is focused on what is important...you! Today though was one of those days when my heart string are pulled at a little bit. I saw you for a very brief couple minutes as I was walking out the door for work. I was all set to pick you up tonight after work and then take you to a networking party, but your Daddy was able to get off work early, I took that time to work late and then head over to the party. By the time I made it home you were already asleep. These are the nights that I dislike, these are the days were it is hard for me to work. Every cloud has a silver lining and our silver lining is that I make myself be 100% present when we are together. There are plenty of days when you and I will be off for 4 or 5 days straight and I do find myself on facebook or watching tv. I have learned that I am not bad for working, that I am not neglegting you, but maybe just the opposite. I am a better Mommy because of it. Days like these are still hard, but I am looking forward to this Friday when we have off and we get to do something specail.
I love you with all my heart and will always be here for you
Love,
Mommy
