Big Boy Books

JJ noticed the other day all of the "big boy books," as I like to call them, in his closet. I call them big boy books because they are not board books and they are only books that I allow big boys to read after their naps and before bedtime. JJ LOVES these books! He loves them so much that they seem to be the only books that he wants to read. Every night I let him pick out a big boy book that we read together. One of the most recent ones is, "If You Take a Mouse to the Movies" and "If You Give a Pig a Pancake". I then showed JJ the stuffed mouse and pig that go along with the books. They were instant friends. I noticed that after a couple of days. JJ was talking with them, reading to them, and playing different games with them. JJ even wanted mouse to sit and watch Little Einstein's with him. This is the first time that I have seen him use his imagination and I don't think I have seen anything cuter. Thanks mom for making this memory happen.

Cute Things Kids Do

JJ calls Slyder "Wa Wa"
JJ will pat where he wants you to sit, play, color, everything!
JJ roars at everything
I think that Reese's favorite show is Little Einstein's too. The huge smile on her face says it all.
James will roar like a lion and Reese loves every minute of it.
When we ask JJ how old he is he says two and holds up one finger on each hand.
Reese loves to play with the air register.
When we give JJ his multivitamin he does a drum roll until he finds out the color he gets for the day.
When we pray I tell JJ to close his eyes and he squints and smiles.
When brushing his teeth JJ likes to put his toothbrush under the water repeatedly and then suck on it.
When Reese is sleeping she moves her mouth as if she is sucking on a pacifier.
Whenever JJ gets excited he says, oooo and his little mouth is wide open and he sticks his belly out.
JJ's cheesy smile whenever I ask him to smile while taking his photo.
At 3 months old Reese will coo back and blow bubbles at you.
Reese's nonstop smile
While watching Little Einstein's, JJ will pat and sing along with it.
Anytime Reese spits up JJ will say, "uh oh" and grab a burp cloth.
He would eat just ketchup if we let him.
When I leave and go out through the back door, JJ will go up to the window and give me a kiss through the glass. I'm of course on the other side giving him a kiss right back.
When I put JJ to bed he always reaches his little hand out beneath the bumper and he waits for me to reach for it.
JJ has to play his Thomas The Train toothbrush in order to brush his teeth.
While changing Reese's diaper JJ took it upon himself to take the dirty clothes and make sure they made it into the hamper. He then brushed his hands together as if saying, there, all better.
JJ has some slow dance moves. He moves his arms as if dancing the waltz.
JJ's "bubba dance" at bed time. He also goes directly to the fridge gets out the milk and tries to carry it over to the counter.
