Our Anniversary

Today is our 4 year 
wedding anniversary!
It's funny because we got married
on our 8 year dating anniversary
so although we've only been married
for four years we've been together for 12!
I went through our wedding pictures and 
decided to post a few of my favorites
from our photographer.
Happy Anniversary!

Silly Baby Jet

JJ the Jet is the silliest baby.
He loves to giggle and laugh out loud!
JJ likes to bark like a dog when
he hears dogs in the neighborhood.
Whenever he hears any kind of engine
(car, motorcycle, airplane, lawn mower)
he always make the VROOM noise.
He loves receipts and mail.
He takes them and crumbles them into
tiny pieces and carries them everywhere.
You have to watch him though because sometimes
he'll make it into a tiny ball and try to eat it!
JJ always gets into my receipts pouch in my purse!
He also likes to carry around wipes and kleenex.
He's absolutely adorable in his sunglasses.
Someone needs another haircut!
JJ smuggled this little farmer toy home
from grandma's in his diaper bag.
He was very proud of himself.
Violet is going to be sad because we're adding
some solar tinting on our skylight windows
to reduce the heat and glare.
She loves to sunbathe all day!
She always sleeps in the weirdest ways!
JJ loves to read books!
His favorite is still his Tummies book.
JJ loves when Daddy reads books
because he always makes
silly voices and sounds!
JJ always wants to be outside!
He's always grabbing his hat and shoes
and pounding on the door!
Once he gets out he wants to walk everywhere!
I love this tank top!
JJ's new favorite shoes are these cute little
Nike sandals.  They're much easier to put 
on and they don't make his feet smell!
JJ loves being silly in his baseball glove chair.

Walking Update, Communicating, and Cute Pics!

JJ takes 3-5 steps without holding on to 
anything before dropping down
and crawling!
He's really good at standing.
He's a pro at walking when you hold one
or both of his hands or if he can
cruise along the wall or the furniture.
 JJ knows the routine each night 
when we go for a walk.
He's started getting Violet's leash
and trying to put it on her!
Notice the hand placement on the wall for balance!
JJ still loves windows, baby gates, and tummies!
 He's started doing the sweetest thing
where he'll look for your belly, scream out loud,
and then dive in for a big hug!
It's a fun game that he wants to do over and over again!
I'll take his hugs anytime!
 My mom has this giant frog
in her grandkids' "froggy room" that
JJ loves to snuggle!
JJ and Violet chase each other around the house
all day!  JJ loves to VROOM in his car!
JJ's been communicating so much!
He says dada, mama, bye bye, and no.
He shakes his head yes and no, waves, 
blows kisses, and puts both hands on his 
cheeks (oh no!).
He likes to identify his hair, belly, nose, ears, etc.
He shows the signs for more, milk, bath, and all done.

 JJ's turtle hat melts my heart.
Look at the face!
I love you JJ!
