Eleven Month Birthday!

Happy 11 Month Birthday TJ! 

It is hard to believe that a year ago we were frantically getting ready for your arrival!  Our love for you has exploded over the past year! 

Nine Months and Christmas!

We did a 9 month photo shoot this morning, we had been so busy that we missed his 9 month birthday! The Gingerbread boy chair was made by E's Pop-Pop for her cousin's 2nd birthday in 1968!   

Later in the morning,  E, J, TJ, and Omi went with their church on an Immersion Walk to feed the homeless in Atlanta. 

After the Immersion Walk - Bubbe and Grand Daddy came from Chattanooga to be with TJ on his first Christmas. 

He enjoyed the boxes and wrapping paper almost as much as the presents!

TJ got a tunnel that (as you can see from his grin) is - AWESOME!!!

He also got a mini piano from Bubbe and Grand Daddy -it was a big hit!

Later, we decided to go to get Chinese food for Christmas, TJ greatly enjoyed the egg drop soup!

Merry Christmas!!!

On the go!

TJ has had a couple of exciting days - he went to a sushi restaurant where he LOVED miso soup, fried rice, pickled ginger, and a little sweet potato tempura! E and J have not found a food that TJ doesn't like! 

He then went to a "soft" park inside a mall because it had been too rainy outside to go for his daily walk. TJ was in heaven - so many "big" kids to try and copy! He even tried the slide a few times!

TJ is very fascinated by Omi's large Nutcracker from Germany. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the Christmas decorations go.

Stair jumping is a new exciting hobby too, that TJ never gets tired of. It is second only to stair climbing.

Seven Months!

Happy Seven Months TJ!!!
It is getting harder to take month birthday pictures of TJ - no sitting still for this guy!

Likes - Iphones, Swimming, Crawling, Standing, and Elmo

Dislikes - Sitting still (and that is about it!)

J and TJ crawling through the atrium area of Church!

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday E, J, and TJ took a trip south of Atlanta to visit a pumpkin patch! They picked out a carving pumpkin, a baking pumpkin, and Apple Cider!

There were two corn mazes ( the mini one was the chosen one), puppet shows, tractor rides, and  pumpkin shooting!

TJ was going to pick a pumpkin, but became more interested in the pine straw, so E and J choose one instead!

Half Birthday - 6 Months!

Happy Half Birthday TJ!

Likes: Crawling, Standing, Banana, Avocados, Carrots, Watermelon, Music (especially playing his own music at KinderMusik!)

Dislikes: Losing his balance and going to sleep!

Crawling was so two weeks ago

Standing is the cool thing to do,

but "scary baby voice" is still pretty popular too,

as is jumping...

and getting ready for Fall!

Big News!

Almost a full crawl!

And we have teeth!
