More Preschool Pictures!

School

TJ's preschool teacher posted some pictures - we wanted to share some of our favorites!

18 Months!

Happy 18 Months and Half Birthday TJ! We had a very "serious"  photo shoot this morning.  There is no smiling when you are sitting still (or almost still!)

Apple Picking!

TJ turned 18 months old yesterday, so to celebrate, TJ, E and J all drove far up into the hills of North Georgia to pick apples.

On the drive up, TJ impressed both E and J with some of his newly acquired language skills.  Neither E nor J had realized how much they say, 'Dude' until now.

Lots of little bites out of apples...

TJ felt that some degree of quality control was needed and personally took on the task of testing each apple picked to make sure it was at it's most ripe state.

After demonstrating (multiple times) how well he could do ASL sign for 'tractor', TJ decided that he would help the farmers with some of their routine work around the farm.

It was a great plan until TJ realized that while he is becoming a big boy, he is not quite big enough yet to drive the tractor.

Fortunately the tractor driver was quite happy to have an eager co-pilot.  The tractor ride around the farm was the highlight of the day for TJ!

All that hard work on the farm makes a boy thirsty (and tired!).  So some fresh apple cider on the way home was enjoyed by all!

Happy 17 Months!

TJ has had a busy Month! 

He had his first airplane ride to visit family in Ohio. TJ wasn't too sure about having to sit still for that long, but was excited about the airplane. 

He even got a "tattoo" while he was in Ohio, because he was missing J!

The day after TJ, E, and Omi got back from Ohio, TJ had his first day back at preschool.  Two days a week from 9:00 - 1:00 at our Church. He was excited to be back!

His buddies from last year are back in the same class and they were excited to see each other.

On non-school days TJ is still enjoying playing in water either at the pool or his water table.

He doesn't even need water in the table (though he definitely prefers it when there is water!)

Happy 17 Months TJ! 

Family Day

Today is the one year anniversary of when the powers that be (e.g. the judge) officially made J & E TJ's parents (or Mum and "Not Mum"). We celebrated family day by going to lunch at a cafe in one of the regional airports where you can watch the airplanes take off and land (many thanks to Granddaddy for the idea). 

TJ has recently become very excited by all forms of transportation (cars, buses, trucks) and especially airplanes. He was VERY excited to be seeing the planes up close.

16 Month Birthday

Happy 16 Months TJ! 

TJ was a little grumpy today for his 16 month pictures.  It was raining so he couldn't play outside. On top of that his top canine (eye) teeth are coming in, and hurting him.

Post Rain Puddle Dancing

Bath fun!

Couch Jumping!

Later that afternoon, we gave up and let him play outside in the mud...

So much happier!

Earlier in this week TJ's cousins and Uncle came and stayed with us! They live in Korea so it is always exciting when they come to visit!
