can we go in to class yet?

a little someone was very excited about his music class! he had so much fun and was a good listener. all the little things i never thought about him learning... like taking turns, following directions, sitting still, and socializing with other kids. i had to get over my paranoia of him getting germs and spreading them to me!

thank you for sharing your mien mien!

little devil and frankenstein, the perfect pair!

thanks, auntie for keeping us company at target!

bath time?

nj got water everywhere! he splashed water all over the floor, wall, window, and mirror! bath time should be fun, but it's a tub, not a pool!

none for you, dot dot

are we done yet?

one for me

one for you

please pick me up!

some one was getting tired and whiney... just look at that face!

good morning, baba...

let's go, mama!

legos with baba!

relaxing with some music

thank you, cousin cooper, for getting me my own music player just like yours!

mini orange psalms

reading a little bible in the car, how cute. sometimes backwards and up-side down, now that's talent!

thank YOU for the cheesy crackers!

nj loves to point at the camera now, i can hardly get a photo without his pointed finger.

use two hands...

this cup was a little heavy, but he still did a good job with drinking from it.

wiping contest!

after finishing lunch, i wiped up his part of the table. he grabbed a napkin and did the same, but very excitedly. he tried to push my arm off so that he could do it. what a helpful cleanly boy.

shhhhh...

during dinner, we could hear the toddler next door crying. so nj turned around and shushed her. it's one of his new favorite things to do, putting his little finger to his lips and saying, "shhhhh". he does it to us too all the time, especially when we say, "go night night" or when we read him the book, good night moon.

you like your non-spill snack cup?

time to sit

look what i can do...

he knows how to charm the ladies... three teenage blondes and their mom. he turns around and sticks his finger way up his nose! we didn't notice until one of them was looking our way, making a face. then he just stared at them. we told him to at least wave, not just stare, that's creepy.

mien-mien and meatball, mmm

the waiter and people that walked by, commented on what a good eater he was. yup, a good eater alright, can't get him to stop!

you forgot this bag, baba!

we made a grocery store trip and when we got back, baba gave nj a bag to carry. he said to help and be useful. ha ha.

some pool time with baba and ah-ma

the water was kind of cold, but he was a good sport. he at least went in for a little bit.

good morning, monkey

what's in this colorful bag?

sleepy head

love having my own water

i got him to say, "stars" since they were on his glass of water. and as i'm taking pictures, he tilted his head, smiled, and said, "cheeeese". ha ha.
