Just something for the logs

AJ update

Things are changing so fast with him! Today I was getting his pjs on when I gave him one of Aiyana's dolls to keep him busy. I grabbed her by the head and said "head". He said, "hea" and put his hands up to his head! Then we went back and forth with it for a few minutes just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. So now at 10 1/2 months, his cool tricks include:

• walking
• he pushes anything he can like it is a car or truck all over the house
  
• jumping
  
• climbing everything
  
• he puts the phone up to his ear when I say hello
• he says hot, up, off, in
• he loves hugs and kisses!
• he refuses to do any sign language except the sign for airplane and basketball
• he watches football with Daddy
• he likes to look through books and babble like he is reading them
• his favorite book is "Bear loves water"
• bath time means splash time
  
• he likes to turn on music and clap and turn his torso back and forth
• he laughs at everything Aiyana does
  

I could keep going, but these are some of the highlights we should remember years to come.


Aiyana update

• she picked up the word "like" so now she inserts it wherever she sees fit. HILARIOUS!
• she works really hard to get praise by helping out around the house and with AJ
• she draws suns, people (mostly our family), letters and words on her easel
• she STILL pretends to be Diego and "pretty red car" (lightning McQueen)
• she loves to ride her bike and play basketball outside

Both of the kids love to go to the zoo and Sea World. We go at least once per week. AJ's favorite is the manatee encounter at Sea World. Aiyana's favorites are the dolphins at Sea World and the giraffes at the zoo.
