18 Month Stats

Well, he's actually almost 19 months, but we just got to the doctor today.

The doctor said that AJ is doing great. He's healthy and happy and totally normal. The biggest thing we need to work on now is.... CONSISTENCY. We have to set limits for him so that he learns what is right and what is wrong. When I say, "If you don't sit down, you're going to time out" and he doesn't sit down, I always have to put him in time out. It's a lot of work, but I want to raise a good, respectful boy, so I will do my best.

These days, AJ is seriously a handful. I love this child with all of my heart and soul, but he is seriously testing me. And I'm sure it's just the beginning.

He has started greeting strangers his age by pushing or hitting them. He whines A LOT. He is still really bad in the car. He climbs all over the funiture. Tries to get into anything and everything that he's not allowed to get into. He throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way- kicking and screaming.

BUT..having said all that- he is still a very good boy. He's always a good boy at Grandmas house, Miss Jamie's house and at the Rec Center daycare. He is very loving and will give me a hug and kiss most of the time when I ask for it. And he's really smart! He's saying a TON of words now- the latest words are dirt, purple, poo poo, and pee pee. He tries to repeat most of the words I say, which is awesome.

Here are his stats:

Weight: 25lbs 12 oz (50%)
Height: 31 3/4" (25%)
Wearing 18 month clothing and size 6 1/2W shoe

Finally!

We got this train for AJ for Christmas and he loves to play with it, but he never gets on it and rides it! FINALLY this morning he did.

Sorry!!

I know that many people come to my blog to see what's going on in our lives. I love that!

Sorry I don't have much to write at this time- I'm so busy with AJ, school, working out(training for a triathlon and possible 1/2 marathon) and life. AJ is doing so well. He's happy, strong and a little maniac at times!

AJ does have his 18 month doc appt on Friday (he'll be 19 months) so I'll  update you all then!

Here's a picture from the other day. We went to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Here's his first experience with a piano. He really enjoyed it!

Play Time!

Last night, AJ & I went to Riley's 10th birthday party! It was a blast! At one point, Kellyn and AJ we're playing on a bed and have a ball. Here's a little video:

Pictures of the Week

Here are a few pictures from our park day today. We had a fun time; AJ walked Buster, played with a ball and played on the playground. Just after this though, he fell and that was the end of our fun time at the park. It was a LONG walk home....

Screwing around!

HEWO!!!

Such A FUN day!

Yesterday, AJ and I had the best day together! One fun thing after another.

We started out by going to the Rec Center. A few days a week, I meet up with Ki and we workout while AJ and Dax play in the day care. They love it and have made some good friends there. The ladies who watch them are awesome!

Then, today after we worked out, we got the boys in the swim suits and went swimming at the Rec Center pool. Once again, the boys had a great time. AJ loves to play with all the water that sprays up into the air. This pool is awesome! There are slides and buckets that fill up with water and then dump, along with a lot of other things. He's still on the young end of things, so we've got years of enjoyment!


After naptime, I decided to take AJ to a different Little Monkey Bizness. I found out that on Tuesday nights, from 5-8pm, we can get in for $5 (typically $7.50) and he can play as long as he wants. To top it off, they have pizza slices for a buck! We met up with 3 of my friends and their kids and just had a blast! This Monkey Biz has a HUGE blow up slide (similar to the one below) that AJ and I went on about 5 times! What a work out! He LOVED it though. I wish we could have gotten pictures! Next time:)
