Super Jumping

I can't believe my baby's turning three. He's getting so big and he's talking so much. He was going around the store today telling everyone "I gonna be free two mooro". He still cracks us (and most everyone we know) up with his dramatic facial expressions and gestures. He's also recently learned a couple of songs that he loves to sing. One's "Anything You Can Do" and the other is "The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock" (complete with hand gestures). He is a great big brother and Azman follows him around the house trying to do whatever he does.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMERON!!!

Random Pics

We went to a birthday party a couple weeks ago and the theme was Peter Pan. We hodge-podged an outfit together for C. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

Meet John:

C decided he wanted to mow the lawn. The outfit he's wearing was a Christmas outfit
it's too big and I have it in a bin in his closet. He ALWAYS gets it out so he can wear his "Gun Pants" (we have no idea why he calls them that). He saw AzMan wearing his camo outfit today so he went and got his out.

Downward dog.
AzMan's favorite yoga position. We're guessing by the frequency
he performs it anyway.

9 Months Old

I Can. Not. Believe. My AzMan is nine months old. He's getting so big and so independent. He really wants to do whatever C is doing. He is still army crawling- he knows how to crawl but only does if he's just in a diaper. He doesn't like his belly touching the ground. He's pulling himself up along things- and he's trying to climb the stairs. He gets one or two up and then starts yelling at me to come get him. Az is also SO verbal. He definitely lets you know when he's happy (or not). Here's some pictures from outside today- 68 degrees. It's supposed to snow next weekend. *Rolling Eyes*.

Fire Station Visit

I had wanted Cameron to visit the fire station so I set up a visit for Cameron and some of his friends from church. We had a lesson about fire safety for FHE and then on Friday (a week ago) we visited the fire station. Cameron was unsure at first but he warmed up quickly thanks to a helpful Mr. L and the nice firemen. We also got to see them go out on a call- and slide down the pole. Woo Hoo! All the kids had a great time- I'm really glad I set it up. Big shout out to the awesome firemen at Evesham Fire Dept!

Telling them a little about the fire station.

Learning about the ambulance.

Azman- pretty happy in the MT. He was SO tired.

Driving the fire truck- this was everyone's favorite.

The fireman and all the new recruits.

"Artsy" Fire shots

A couple of shots I liked- taken with my Sony point and shoot.

Wierd dream

I (Ryan) stayed home with Azer on Saturday while April took Cameron to a birthday party. Normally Azer goes right to sleep after he eats sometime between 1 and 3, but this time, he wouldn't do it. It was like he knew April was gone and he refused to sleep.

The only way I could get him to sleep was to lay down by him, then we both fell asleep. Fast forward an hour and a half or so...I had this dream that I was in class and my laptop kept making loud noises and no matter what I did (frantically pushing buttons, close the laptop) it wouldn't stop! It was an unsettling dream to say the least. Then Azer woke up and started crying, then I heard the phone ring. It was April - she was home, but left her house key inside and the door was locked. April had tried to call about 10 times. Azer woke me on the 7th or 8th.

She figured I was asleep and knew the only way to wake me would be to call until the phone woke Azer up. At least I know the laptop noises were the home phone, and don't need to worry about the laptop embarassing me.
