AJ is 3!!!

at 6 months

at 3 years

This little kid is just so 100% everything he does.  He has the best facial expressions.  He never walks anywhere, he bounds and gallops and all out runs.  When he is stubborn and frustrated he’s also 100%.  The other day he was having a fit about something and M told him to “just chillax”.  AJ spun around and shouted, “No chiwhack Daddy!”  When he decides something, there is no talking him out of it.  In his head, zebras are just horses and there’s no telling him differently.  According to him it is Mommy’s job to change diapers and he WILL NOT let M do it without a fight and shouting “diapers a NO NO for Daddy”.  He knows how to take a fall better than anyone in the family.  For example, today during church, he slipped out the back of his folding chair and was pinned against the wall with just his face and feet sticking out the front of the chair; it took me longer to recover from my giggles at the sight of him like that than for him to get over the scare and the bumps.  He is 100% sweet too.  He has started to tell us that he “yauv” (loves) us.  He doesn’t give half-hearted hugs; he especially throws his arms around his teachers at church.  And when I’m singing (don’t laugh) him his nightly bedtime lullaby, he always wants to hold my hand with both his hands.  We are 100% happy to have him in our family!
