The Ball Popper

Some friends of ours were invited to DJ's birthday party, but they were unable to make it. They recently brought his present over to the house. And he LOVES it! He has played with it all day. It didn't take him long to figure out how to make it work either.

DJ and the Fishes!

We took DJ to the Georgia Aquarium today. He really enjoyed looking at all the fish! He did not like being in the stroller though and wanted to walk around. Next time we go, I will have to keep him on a leash!

His first look at the fishes!

He loved this tank. He screamed when we left it!

Touching the shrimp with Daddy.

Look Mommy, I am taller than you! As long as he could stand in front of the tanks, he was happy!

This tank is where you can walk though and the fish are swimming above you. It is really neat! (oh and we had a shirt change thanks to all the drool from cutting his top molars!)

Hanging with Mommy.

They have a 4D movie about how humans affect the sea life. DJ really liked it except when they sprayed everyone with water, THREE times! It was a really good 3D movie.

Looking cool in his 3D shades. He wouldn't wear them during the movie though.

I think we wore him out. He was asleep less than 10 minutes after we got him in the car!

Enjoying the outdoors!

The weather was awesome this weekend, so we took advantage and played outdoors! We bought DJ this new Adventure Climber. It is a little big for him right now, but I am sure it won't be long before he is crawling all over it! He really enjoyed the slide!!

He is going to make a great husband one day!

DJ's new favorite activity is to mop the kitchen floor! He will drag my Swifter all over the house. Already getting him trained!!

DJ's New Car

We got DJ this car a few weeks ago. It has finally been nice enough on the weekends so that we can get out an try it out. He is unsure about riding in it, but he really enjoyed pushing it around and playing with it!

Just need to back up here a little bit! He could push it backwards a little.

I think I will just push it around

I think there is something wrong with the gas tank


Yep, its the gas tank alright. I need some gas.


I think this will do the trick

Just need a little bit more!

Two Tornados!

Nana, Papa, and Brooklyn came out to visit DJ last weekend. DJ and Brooklyn had a lot of fun together. Between the two of them, I think they played with just about every toy that DJ owns! Brooklyn really enjoyed playing with DJ's workbench.

Valentine's Day

I took DJ back to Picture People again this year for his Valentine's Day cards. I also got these two pictures for free! I love when Picture People sends out their coupons!!

And here is the Valentine's Day card that we will be sending out!

If you think he cannot reach it....

Move it back 5 feet!! DJ had some yogurt with dinner last night. When I thought he was finished, I went to run his bath water, leaving him in the highchair. I put the container of yogurt on the table and thought he could not reach it. Boy was I wrong! Not only could he reach it, but he has decided that it is more fun to eat yogurt with his hands!

Playing with his new toys!

DJ got several Little People sets for Christmas. He is really starting to like playing with them. But how in the world do you keep up with all the little people?? He carries them all over the house!

He also got this neat toy for the kitchen. It is a car wash magnet set. (Thanks Aunt Heather and Uncle Brandon!) Finally something to keep him out of my cabinets. He is starting to carry the magnets all over the house trying to find something else they will stick too. He has realized that they will stick to the garage door and the dishwasher already. Hopefully he won't discover that they will stick to the stove!

Fixing his New Car

Nana and Papa got DJ the Lightening McQueen car for Christmas and Santa brought him some tools to work on it with. Here he is showing Daddy how to fix his new car!

DJ and his new Tricycle

DJ's aunts got him a tricycle for Christmas. A few weeks ago, it was warm enough for us to get outside and try it out. I really think he is going to enjoy this come spring/summer. Thanks Aunt Kathy and Aunt Laurie!!

Sitting on his tricycle


Hey, what is that down there?!?

I think I will just push it around for a while!

Christmas!!

What a difference a year makes. It was a whole lot easier trying to get him to pose for this picture last year!!

FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday DJ!! I cannot believe that it has been (over) a year since DJ was born. Time really does fly and they really do grow up too fast. He has finally gotten confident in walking and is walking a lot more. He can say Dada, Mama, Papa, Hi There, and we are working on Nana!!

Playing with Brooklyn!!

Opening presents!!

Hey!! Give me that back!! (LOL!)

The Cake!!!

Hair Cut #2!

Well, we decided it was definitely time to get DJ's hair cut again. I can't believe this is hair cut #2 before he is even 12 months old!!

However, this time, he did not like it!!! He screamed the whole time.

But it does look a lot better!!
