Yummy ice cream!

Here IJ is eating ice cream with daddy. Yum! He is getting better at reacting to milk these days and is being able to enjoy diary more. He is getting so big, just a couple of days ago he turned 17 months old. Again he is growing up and doing so many new things. He is still bringing us much, much joy. Well, IJ is a true gift. Oh how we love him.

Grammy Came To Visit

Grammy came to visit, IJ and her had so much fun laughing, hugging and playing. Grammy is reading to IJ and riding on the carousel with him. Two of his many favorite pastimes. He enjoyed having her here to play and laugh with. They did a lot of laughing and giggling together. They love being silly together. They had a ton of fun together. Maybe the next time he sees her, he will say her name. IJ and I loved having her visit! Thanks for all the fun gifts as well Grammy! We miss you dearly already.

No!

The word is finally now being spoken by IJ! His only answer word for a long time was "yes". Well now the word for every question is "no", even when he means "yes" it is very funny at times and frustrating at others. He is still our adorable little guy! His new words are
"ow" , "no", and "bye-bye". He is our adorable little guy!

Daddy!

Here we are celebrating Daddy's Birthday with a walk at the beach and flying an Elmo kite with IJ. They both had a good time flying the kite in the air on the beach. Here Daddy is burying IJ in the sand and loving every moment of it. Both of them had a good time! I love my two men!

Wow! He is growing up!

Look at this cutie! He is growing up so quickly! I know all parents say that. But I am reflecting and that is what I am thinking. His new words are nigh-nigh, ball, and roaring like a lion. He is signing "thank you". He is calling me mama so much these days. Deep down I love it! He is climbing and riding his bikes. He is jabbering away constantly! Here IJ is enjoying his favorite treat, cookies! He is truly a doll and such a polite boy! We are so blessed and lucky to have him in our family! Please know we love you all!
