AJ lost his first tooth!

AJ's front lower tooth has been "wiggly" for 2 weeks and finally came out this evening! He had been pushing it around in his mouth all day. It was obvious it wouldn't stay in much longer. I told him to give it a little twist and out it came - he was so proud!

The tooth fairy will be visiting our house tonight. I wonder what will be under AJ's pillow in the morning.

Now the tooth next to the empty space is loose and a new phase in AJ's life begins!

JJ "The Leaf Eater"

This weekend we went to my mom's house for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. Watching us make a spinach salad, JJ said he wanted to try the leaves. "You want to eat one of these?" I asked (trying not to sound too surprised or doubtful). JJ has never eaten a 'salad', only a few separate ingredients like carrots and red peppers - never anything green and leafy. "Yes!" he replied, "I want to eat that." So I handed him a spinach leaf and watched him take a bite. HE LOVED IT! By the end of dinner he had eaten about 10 spinach leaves. My picky eater continues to surprise me!

So can you guess what I purchased at the grocery store today? Hopefully JJ's leaf eating wasn't a one time thing. But even if it was, I'm glad he ate his veggies at his grandmother's house.

What have I been up to?

Been doin' alota cleanin' lately.

It is obvious to me (but not to JJ) that he is not yet tall enough to "go" standing up.
