Helicopter

Sorry I haven't done any pictures in a long time. I'll try and get some more up. Monday morning we all got up and went shopping. On our way we past the hospital and the life flight helicopter was sitting there, so we drove past and showed CJ. He loved it! At the store we decided to look at toy helicopters for CJ and he choose a little one from Cars (it was actually a rescue helicopter so it was red and white just like life flight). Then my parents came down and we got to go out to eat. CJ was so excited about his helicopter and everytime he saw the hostess/waitress he would hold it up and say "copta copta". On our way home we drove past the hospital again to see if the helicopter was still there, and it was! This time we parked the car and got out to look at it. CJ thought it was really fun, he even got to see an ambulance drive by with flashing lights. We had lots of fun with my parents and got to play with them all day.

Outing

Today CJ and I went up to campus with Daddy to play while he had a meeting. CJ loved walking around and looking at everything. We walked up and down a lot of stairs. He was so funny because Daddy had told him to look for helicopters because there are usually a few and so we walked out of a building and they had some really big fans that sounded like helicopters and CJ was squealing and looking up in the sky pointing everywhere trying to find the helicopters. We weren't able to see any but he still had a fun time wandering around.

The Little Engine That Could

I wish I could remember a night that I didn't read The Little Engine That Could. CJ always gets to pick a story to read before he has to go to sleep and for the last forever he wants to read that book. The other night I forgot to put it away and the next night he was looking through all the books trying to find it. He knows what he wants and he will look until he finds it. :) The last three nights he has also wanted Goonight Moon. That is a good change I just wish that I could read other books.



I've probably said this before but CJ is really into trucks, airplanes, helicopters, and trains right now. Grandma was getting rid of her duplo train and so we got to take it home and CJ hasn't played with any other toys since. Every morning that is the first thing he gets out. He loves to build the track and then build the engines and try to hook them together. He hasn't figured out how they connect yet and he gets really frusterated when he puts them next to eachother and they don't just magically attach. It will be fun to see him be able to put the whole thing together someday.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

The Itsy Bitsy Spider is one of CJ's favorite songs right now. He was watching Barney with Daddy the other day and Daddy helped him do the actions to the song and he loves it now. He can do them by himself and it is really really cute. He also likes to do This little piggy, and he can do that himself also. My favorite part is when the little piggy goes weee weee weee all the way home, I always tickle him and then end at his nose and so now he always points to his nose when I say home. It is really cute. I can't believe how big he is getting. He is learning new things everyday.

Museum Pics

Here are some pics of when we got to go to the Dinosaur Museum. Enjoy!

I love you

~I have a few stories from today. First CJ and I went for a walk today to look for trucks and helicopters. On our walk we saw a couple of small trucks, a garbage truck, a few buses, two helicopters and an airplane. He loved going for a walk and looking for everything. I was so proud of him because he walked the whole time.

~We also went to see Daddy at work tonight and CJ loved looking out the window and watching the airplanes fly by. He got so excited everytime he saw one. It was lots of fun to see him point and laugh and just get so excited just to see an airplane.

~Daddy works at night so every night as part of our nighttime routine we call Daddy and tell him good night. And lately CJ has gotten really good at saying "night night" to Daddy but tonight he also told Daddy "I love you" It was so cute!!! And just in time for Valentines Day :)

Elephant Hat

The other day we played with balloons and I decided to play around and we made an elephant hat. CJ loved it and would walk around the house making elephant noises. I thought it was supper cute so I just wanted to show all of you some pics. Enjoy!

For my Dear Brother Greg!

So I just recently realized that my Brother in Law Greg who is on a mission in Africa checks my blog every week to see what we are up to and to hear cute stories about CJ, so I am making a goal for myself and I am going to try and write at least one blog post every week so that he has something new to read everytime he checks. We will see how it goes I'm going to try my best. So I wanted to start off with just a bunch of little stories of cute things that CJ has been doing lately.

~ Lately CJ has really been into trucks. There is a cherry picker by our house that he likes to look at and he always asks to see more trucks. So The other day we went out to the front of our complex because I remembered that they were fixing the road out there and there were some big trucks. CJ loved it! We watched them work for about 40 min. before we decided it was time to go inside for lunch.

~ So after that day we haven't seen any more trucks working on the road. We have gone out to see if we could see any trucks but we only see trucks that drive by and CJ isn't as interested in those. One time when we were looking for trucks two helicopters flew buy and CJ thought they were really really cool. He kept asking for more more more and I told him I couldn't make more helicopters fly by so we had to come inside and find some videos on the computer. He thought there were really cool and that whole day he kept saying "cupta cupta"

~ Today we went to the Dinosaur Museum with my friend Mandy and her two little boys. CJ had a lot of fun and I think Mandy's kids had fun showing CJ everything. They would all run down the halls and hold on to each other as they walked along. It was really cute, when I get the pics from Mandy I will post them. CJ really liked playing with the sand and water. He had fun throwing the sand and making it splash in the water. He also got to play in the sand for the first time. I think he was having fun just figuring out how he could move it and dig in it. Then he started watching the older kids and they all started throwing sand everywhere so we had to go so someone didn't end up getting sand in their eye or something. He had a blast and we will definetly have to go again.
