My Child...The Terror!
Today, at a play date, AJ PUSHED another kid down the stairs! And I watched it..... It was like something in a movie- I was watching it, but it happened so fast, I couldn't do anything to stop it! It was horrible! Thankfully, Cameron- the other little boy- was fine and tumbled rather than fell down about 7 carpeted steps, but I felt SOOOO BAD! I know that AJ didn't mean to and didn't do it intentionally, but ugh..... I felt like such a bad mom!!!

16 Months is FUN!
Ok, that was somewhat sarcastic.... Having a 16 month old boy can be exhausting! Sure, it's a lot of fun, but at times my patience wears very thin..... Here's what is going on:
* Just today, AJ learned how to climb on the kitchen chairs. Guess what that means? The kitchen table has now turned into a jungle gym! I see broken bones in our future...
* He can say SO many words- just not "please" or "more". He says turtle, tractor, truck, apple, cat, Pop (sounds like Dop), and SOOO many other words, but ask him to say "please" and he points and says, "EEHHH". If he's in a bad mood it's more like a whining, crying "EEEEEEEEEEHHHHH" (with a finger pointed at what he wants)
* He is getting REALLY smart! Everyday I am impressed by him! AJ has a ton of bath toys- many of them are animals. Today I asked, "Where is the duck?" and he found the duck right away! This may seem like not a big deal, but DUCK isn't something we've really been working on. We've been working on horse, cow, dog, cat, bunny, giraffe, fish and other things. Oh, speaking of fish, he put together that a dolphin swims too! Again, I know this seems silly, but I have shown him that a fish swims; not that a dolphin swims. Somehow he got it! You should hear me when he GETS something like this- I freak out! I am so proud :)
* Today...he pooped in the bath for the first time....Enough said
* His new thing is pointing and saying "EEHHH" to the refrigerator. I have NO IDEA what he actually wants, so I open it and he stands IN the fridge and rummages through looking for things.
* This daylight savings thing is for the birds! UGH! Ok, so I'm happy that the sun comes up earlier, but this child has been waking up at FOUR IN THE MORNING for the past few days. UNACCEPTABLE I tell ya!
* AJ walks around ALL day EVERY day saying "Mom....Mom...Mama...Mom..Mom...Mama..." It's the cutest and sweetest thing. It warms my heart. I respond with, "Yes?, Yes honey bear?, AJ? Yes?" The response I get is "Mom...Mom....Mama...Mom?" I love him.
* He calls himself "A..A" It's the cutest thing. I'm trying to get it on video. This always makes me think that at SOME point, he's going to have to learn that his name is Anderson.
* It's 9:20pm....I must go to sleep as I'm sure I'll be up BEFORE the crack of dawn. More blogging tomorrow I'm sure :)

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! AJ had a lot of fun tonight. We didn't actually trick or treat; we just hung out outside for a little bit with our neighbors. Here are a few pictures:

This was taken at our MOMS Club halloween party last week. I have no idea why, but about half way into the party, AJ decided he wanted to undress himself. It was hilarious!

More California Pictures
We made it home safely from California on Sunday after such a WONDERFUL visit! It was relaxing, and fun and AJ & I have some more great memories.
Here are some pictures from our day Saturday hanging out with Uncle Matt & Aunt Kristin. We started out with lunch and then headed to the Dana Point harbor for some fun in the sun! Matt and AJ had a wonderful time running into and out of the water, throwing rocks and just being boys.
Then, on Sunday we got to spend some time with Grandpa Lew and Janis- Since they are moving, they are camping for a few days and we met up with them at the campsite for breakfast and some park time.
