Nate at Six Months




Of course, AJ had to be right there with us during our mini photo shoot!  Silly boy.  AJ at 39 months! :)

AJ's Before and After

Just over six months ago I took AJ to the barbershop.  He threw a massive fit while he was sitting on my lap, and I was days away from having Nate too.  There wasn't a lot of lap space people!  HA!  I told Taro I was never taking him there again.  HA.  He says it hurts to cut his hair.  So as you can see he was in desperate need of a haircut.  Taro wanted to use his clippers.  We were finally able to hold him down.  There were alot of tears.  But Taro managed to get a great haircut.




Look who's sitting up by himself.  He figured it out while we were in Utah.  Yay!

Father Son Art Project

AJ was dying to make a paper bag mask after he saw the cubscouts make some last week.  He wanted a spaceship mask???  Well, I think he was very excited when Taro decided to help him make one.  Did I mention he is obsessed with Star Wars?  I wonder where that came from???  All day long, I hear "Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum!!!"  (Darth Vader music) and then repeat.  A few hundred times.  Then to change things up, he plays it on the piano.  Not kidding.

Nate's First Halloween

Nate slept through most of the Trunk or Treat, and he didn't go out on Halloween night.  So, how do we celebrate his inaugural Halloween?  Strip him down and stick him in a pumpkin.  HA. HA.  It was really cold, so we didn't have a lot of time to get him to laugh.  But AJ managed to get a few smiles from him.  What a good sport!


The New Ride

Goodbye old car.  We'll miss ya.  We had a blast driving you for 112,000 miles.  But we needed something bigger.


Hello new car!  Can't get much bigger than this.  Ha ha.  We love it already!  Especially AJ who has opened and closed the sliding doors a million times already and says "That's so Cool."
