Update


I've been lazy about blogging lately so I have a lot of small little stories. First of all school started for Daddy. He has been working so hard on all of his homework getting it all done. He is doing a lot this semester. He has 17 credits and he is still working full time. CJ is also doing a lot of things, he keeps me really busy and it hasn't been very fun the past two weeks while we have both been sick. It is amazing at how much energy CJ has even when he is sick.
One of his favorite things to do right now is climb on the boxes we have full of DI stuff. It makes me really nervous because he can't get down by himself but that doesn't stop him from trying.
He also loves to play in Mom and Dad's room. He is tall enough now that he can get into the drawers in the bathroom and one of his favorite things to pull out is the toothpaste. He puts it into his mouth and will walk around the house just letting it hang there. It looks really funny! I think he looks like a turtle sometimes. :) He also likes to play on the computer any time he can. He knows what he is doing and likes to move the mouse around a little and then types on the keyboard a little. Here he even has his foot up on the keyboard to help.

We went to a family party and went down to SF pool. We all had lots of fun! CJ even got to go down the big slide a few times. Yay!

There was a big windstorm a few weeks ago, and I was down in Sandy with my parents. I popped open my trunk and the wind caught it and slammed it into my back windshield. It shattered, but was still in place luckily because CJ was sitting in the backseat still in his carseat.
I drove home and the whole time it was making funny cracking noises and I'm so happy that it didn't fall apart on the way.
CJ likes to help Dad do everything! He will even sit on the counter while Dad does dishes to help Mom out around the house. So Sweet!

Here CJ is climbing again. He loves this little table. He likes to take the top off and climb in. Most of the time he just sits and plays inside but other times he likes to stand up and dance. He is learning that he can't just step out and that he needs to ask for help. He is going to be very sad when he gets too big for it.

Daddy got a new backpack for our 72 hour kits and we decided to try it out and see if it could hold the baby. CJ had a lot of fun being carried around the house and liked playing with all of the different straps on the backpack.

And finally today CJ and I went shopping and I decided that he needed some new cups because he has a really hard time with his sippy cups. He just doesn't want to hold them up so he isn't sucking in air. So we found some with straws so he didn't have to hold them up and he loves them! Here he is trying them out for the first time. He carried the cup all over the house and drank almost the whole thing.
