Today, I was putting AJ in the car to go somewhere and he was smiling and I happen to notice something in his mouth.... MORE TEETH! I noticed, at first, his right molar had started to poke thru. I had expected his first molars to arrive would be in the back (I have no clue why I thought this, I just did) but these were right up near the front. So, I started poking around his mouth and came to discover ALL FOUR of them were working their way in. Well, no wonder he's had his hands in his mouth for a while now!
I'm sure this will come back to haunt me, but I guess I thought teething would be worse for him- that he'd be up crying all night long and I'd be loading him up on Tylenol. I had no idea they were even coming in! It does make sense though, that all he will eat is noodles.

Little Einsteins
I knew the time would come..... CARTOONS! AJ has started to really enjoy a few different cartoons. He loves Mickey Mouse still (calls it Mimi) and he likes Barney but his favorite is Little Einsteins. It's a very cute cartoon that teaches all kinds of things. They learn about colors, buttons, clapping, patting, animals, music and so many other things.
Back when Holly & Joels twins were AJ's age, they were both VERY into Little Einsteins. I remember watching them watch the show in their little chairs and they'd sing the theme song over and over. So much so, that it would get stuck in my mind for a long time! Well, here we go again! I sing this song all day, everyday. UGH! :)
Good luck not getting it stuck in your head!

Kisses!
Can I just tell you how much I LOVE this age! 18 months is SO MUCH FUN! AJ is really at the age where I know he understands much of what I say and we can even have these mini converations :) So fun! He can, at times, tell me what he wants or doesn't want which is so helpful. He's picking up new words every day. I'm trying to get him to say I....LOVE...YOU! He can say it (sorta) if he listens to me word for word. Well, I like to think he is learning it :)
Today, I taught him butterfly and eskimo kisses. He laughs and laughs when we do it. He's a blast!
Happy New Year!

Fire Truck
We all know that AJ is obsessed with trains, but fire trucks are a close second. When we go to my moms house, we pass a fire station and he makes the fire truck sound EVERY single time. He's also got a few fire trucks at home that he likes to play with.
Yesterday, we went to the grocery store and there was a huge fire truck sitting outside the store. I guess they were loading up on groceries too. So, AJ and I walked over to the truck- I just wanted him to see it up close. Well, there was the nicest fireman there who came up to us and started talking to us. Out of the blue, he asked if AJ wanted to see the tools on the truck and he opened the passenger side door and offered for AJ to sit in the truck. I couldn't believe it! What a nice guy!
I tried to put AJ in the seat, but he got scared so he just looked around for a bit. He stared at the fireman for a while and seemed really interested in what he had to say.
We're so lucky to live in this town with such amazing people!

No No No No
AJ's really been learning a lot lately. He has started to mimic me more and more. Not always a good thing!
I didn't realize that I did this, but when AJ does something he's not allowed to do, I say "no, no, no, no". Guess who runs around the house all day saying that???
The way he says it, it sounds like, "none, none, none, none".... What have I done! :)
He has also learned to say "Uh uh" (meaning no) and "Uh huh" (meaning yes) when I ask him something. I do think he knows the difference, but I also think he likes to say Uh uh, more!
Best of all...... He has FINALLY learned to say PLEASE!!!!!!!! He learned it at my moms house on Christmas eve. I wish we could have videoed this because my mom and I were making SUCH a big deal out of him saying it- so that he would continue to say it more and know that it's a good thing to say. It sounds like "PEEE" but it does the trick. I am THRILLED!
