Last Morning Without Mommy

John is excited to see Mommy tonight when she gets home! He channeled all that excitement into his morning play session. He also realized he can crawl through the door of his playhouse this morning after he accidentally opened the door and rolled a ball through.

I'm ready to play with you Mommy!

Visiting the Baylor Bears

John met Pops (Emmalie's Dad) down at Baylor on Sunday to visit the bears. The bears were inside when we got there, but once they heard John had arrived, they came out to greet him.

John was only slightly curious in the bears and was really more interested in all the other people there .

John Says Dada!

John has said 'Mama' for a little while now and just started really saying 'Dada' consistently this week too. He must have been getting ready for his time with Daddy! I managed to record him saying it to today while we were playing this afternoon.

Playing at the Park

The weather has been so nice here for this time of year so Daddy and John went on a walk to the park. John had so much fun watching all the other kids playing and running around.

After watching the other kids play for a while, we decided John could swing in the little kids swing too. John enjoyed it, but he was really more interested in watching the other kids swinging.

Baylor Basketball Game

John loves to go to basketball games! Today's game was especially fun because the Bears won a close one, and John got to hang out with some other kids. He especially like hanging out with the girls.

After the game, John was still in good spirits while we stocked up on some groceries at HEB . . . most of which was for him anyway!

Daddy & John Time

For those of you who don't know, Emmalie is out of town for a few days so John gets to spend some one-on-one time with Daddy. Here's a picture from the first morning . . . We had to reassure Mommy that everything was alright!
For lunch, John got to eat with Daddy and GiCi (Matt's Mom).

Later that afternoon, John still wasn't feeling well from a week of being sick so Daddy took him to the doctor to be sure everything was alright.

Riding the Horsey by Himself

John loves to bounce around in his jumper, in people's lap, etc. Emmalie and I were singing and playing with him this weekend when we decided we had to record it. After we stopped the singing each time and stopped bouncing him, he just kept on bouncing on his own and singing his own little song. We just kept cracking up! It's almost like he's mimicking the song we were singing especially when he says "Weeeee" at the end.

Buggy Ride at Church

When we picked John up from the nursery at church a few weeks ago, he was riding in the buggy they push the kids around in. He was really focused on looking at everything and enjoyed himself. We laugh every time we look at these pictures because it looks like someone told him to keep his hands at his side like on a roller coaster!

First Two Teeth!

John has been teething in full force the last week or two. He got his first two teeth a week or so ago. They came in at exactly the same time. He looks so cute with his two bottom teeth and nothing else!
