first day in HOPE's toddler room

just like joshua

jr is wearing joshua's shirt that joshua is wearing in a picture hung up in the toddler room. ha, ha!

awww, asleep on auntie helen!

thank you auntie for being with him in the toddler room. and for letting him sleep, sweat, and drool on you...

ooh, cheerios!

jr can't get enough of these cheerios. even when he has some on his try, he tries to grab for the whole container sitting on the kitchen table. when he sees me getting them, he starts kicking his legs immediately. so cute!

apples, pears, and banana, yum!

I put these fruits in the magic bullet early this morning, I'm surprised I didn't wake daddy up! The magic bullet is so loud, jr always looks over and makes a face at me - even when he's not in the kitchen. At least he doesn't cry like he used to.
