Wordless Wednesday

Following the blogger trend and starting a wordless Wednesday. Enjoy!

Goodbye F*aceb*ook!

I have deactivated my FB account to see if I actually blog more often. I found that once I became more active on FB, I stopped blogging - problem is, the FB posts did not have as much info as a blog post and I am having troubles filling the gaps in AJ's baby book. Shame on me! I am not ruling out FB permanently, just doing a little test separation. So if you want updates on us - this is the place to check!

AJ at 2 years

It has been 2 months since AJ turned 2 and he has already grown so much. At his 2 year check up he weighed 30 pounds and measured 35 inches. That makes him 50% and 75%, respectively, for his age group. We are still waiting on the 2 year molars to come through, but that could be tomorrow or it could be months from now. He is such a social butterfly and knows how to work any crowd.

Now that AJ is 2, we took him for his first dentist visit yesterday. He was in such good spirits and loved the toys in the waiting room, until he clocked his head and got a huge goose egg. After that all he did was cry "back home to AJ's house!" Luckily, the dentist is only a couple miles from the house and Art was able to leave work and help comfort AJ. He was such a good boy and let the hygienist not only clean and polish his teeth, but also go back over them with a pumice gel to get off the iron stains from his vitamins. He was not as fond of the dentist - she was a little bit quicker and not as gentle and reassuring as the hygienist. We did not get the stains off his back teeth, but I was told they would not do any harm and we can get them next time. All in all, the only bad experience was the waiting room - we'll take it! (Note to self - AJ cut his first tooth at 7 months and 1 week. This was a question on the new patient paperwork and it took me FOREVER to find where I wrote that down. I reread all old blog posts thinking it had to be in there - wrong! - but now it is here.)

September night at the ballpark

The Phillies may have lost the game, but AJ won big time! The Phillie Fanatic came right to our seats and visited with AJ. Art was thrilled and told AJ he is one lucky boy - Art has been going to Phillies games since he was 8 years old and this is the FIRST time he ever got to meet the Fanatic face to face at a game. It only took AJ 4 games!

And then it was September!

So that thing about blogging at least once a week, hahaha. Shame on me! The problem was I was having issues designing my template and every time I logged into blogger I would try to fix it, only to aggravate myself and sign out before ever posting. I know, lame excuse, but true. Anyhow, I am now happy with the template and I am proud to announce I will resume blogging. It has become even more important because with baby number 2 on the way, I need somewhere to keep track of what is going on in our busy household. So, consider this a teaser. Enjoy the pictures in my new header and check back soon - I WILL be updating on a regular basis now!
