Playing with Travz camera

Trav has a really fun new camera so he is leaving his old one at  home for me to play with.  It is way more camera then I can figure out but luckily is has an automatic setting so I can get some use out of it.  Here is my sweet Monkey Boy in his "princess" hat (Maja, one of my daycare kids saw a princess at the park this weekend and was really excited so we made princess hats today).  

Yeah, the hats were too big for everyone so the kept falling off.  They still loved them though!

Helping Mommy

This is my Little Monkey's idea of helping Mommy with the laundry.

If you can't tell this is the bottom of the laundry basket.

It was too quiet...

So the other day after dinner I was doing the dishes when I realized it had been too quiet in AJ's room for too long.  So I quietly snuck over and this is what I found.  

How sweet is my boy?!  He stayed in there for about 15 more minutes just reading to himself.  I am so happy he loves books so much!

My Busy Bee

We brought home a big pack of paper towels from Costco. It is AJ's job to help me put them away. He hands them too my while I stand on a chair to store them over the refrigerator. He is always so proud when he helps Mommy! This time though before we put them away he wanted to play first. This is what he did.

This is what I found when I came out of the bathroom.

I guess AJ needed a jumping break.

Back to work

He was very serious about this.

Finally Aj stood back to check out his masterpiece!

"Pick it fwowers for Mommy!"

Last night while I was out Trav and AJ went for a walk. The first thing I heard when I walked in the door was AJ's sweet little voice saying "Pick it fwowers for Mommy!" When I walked up the stairs if found this little bunch of lilacs on the counter. My boys brought me flowers back from their walk and AJ was so excited to give them to me. So sweet!

They smell so good!  Our whole living room/kitchen/dinning room smells like lilacs from just this little bunch!  I really want to get a lilac bush.  I just need to figure out where to plant it!

Monkey Faces

I love all of the faces my sweet Monkey Boy makes. He is so expressive! Here are just of few of the many faces of AJ.

"No ike it vest Mommy!"

This is the day after AJ's first big boy haircut. He really didn't like me messing with it and putting gel in it. He loves it now though and will ask for "gel hair pwease Mommy pwease!".

My little sunshine boy.

This is a funny face AJ makes trying to copy one that Trav makes at him. He does it a lot! It is even cuter in person!

Trav sent this one to me the other day. I don't know when he took it but boy is my Monkey cute or what?!

Trav took this one last night when he was tucking AJ into his big boy bed. AJ has discovered that the cuter he is the harder it is for us to leave him in bed. So now he really plays up the cuteness at bedtime. Anything to stay up just a few more minutes!

AJ's First Ice Cream Cone!

AJ had his very first ice cream cone the other day. I was going to Baskin Robbins and AJ requested "gween i cweam Pwease". So I got him a mint chocolate chip clown cone. He thought it was wonderful! And he ate it all!
