Independence Day!

We had a fun 4th of July this year.  We started out the day with L having to work of course because it is the summer and we take no days off during the summer :(... but it was nice because he got off at 5 and then the whole office had a BBQ which was so fun.  It was very hot like 100+ degrees I guess it is record breaking heat out here in Memphis this year.  It is crazy how hot it is, it is like unexplainable hotness, thank goodness for air conditioning.  But we had some yummy food, M.J. tried Watermelon for the first time and he seemed to rather enjoy it!  

Then after the BBQ we went and watched the boys play softball for a while, and then tried to watch fireworks.... unfortunately M.J. is not a fan of fireworks, he did not like them one bit, they scared him like crazy!  So we went home and watched some fireworks on t.v. instead.  I was a little bummed but, we will have many more Independence days were I am sure M.J. will love fireworks so I will just enjoy my time of cuddling him now when he is scared of them! 

Sleepy boy as we watched fireworks on tv! 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 10 months to little M.J.

M.J. turned 10 months old on Tuesday! He is such a cute little boy and everyday he gets cuter.  He has just a sweet fun personality, and I am so lucky he is such a good boy.  He is standing on his own as of two weeks ago, and he is starting to take his first steps!!!! I can't believe it soon he will be walking all over the place...... if I can get shoes on him haha!  He has taught himself how to open doors as well (not so good) but it is so cute because he has to stand on his tippy toes to even reach the handle so it is so cute to watch!!  He loves most food, but he does this weird thing were he takes bites of things and then just spits it out... I don't know if thats normal but it doesn't bug me except for he sure gets dirty during meal time.  He finally said Mama this month but he doesn't really like to say it very often :(!  He loves to say DADA and BABA still all the time.... its funny though he sure does get shy when you try to get him to talk, and then when you want him to be quite he loves to talk and won't be Quiet!  He is already a rule breaker just like his dad.  His favorite things to do this month are to play fetch with himself, he throws a golf ball and then crawls after it as fast as he can, open cabinets and pull everything out, climb up on anything and everything he can, swim- he loves the water, and working out with his dad, L has been putting him in this back pack holder we have for him and running stairs with him.  It is very cute, but I don't know how he does it! Here are some pictures of M.J.

Sleepy Boy! He is so funny he hates being rocked to sleep so I just have to hold him like this on my lap and then he will fall asleep.

Look at those lips! 

I love his blue eyes!

It was so funny the other day I left the fridge open while I was making some lunch and he got in there and found a tomato and he started just eating it raw.  It was so funny! 

My favorite picture ever! He was concentrating so hard!

Was so sleepy but didn't want to fall asleep until he passed out like this!

I just love him!

Happy 10 months my amazing M.J.! I love you so much!
