so much to do so little time!

so life has been as busy as ever here! 
to start i must do a plug for my craft fair...
i will be at the craft fair in the apex building by porters on Saturday May 2nd 10-5 so you should totally come...
i will be sell my ties (that everyone keeps asking about) and some personalized invitations and hopefully some flowerpot sugar cookies....
its alot on my plate though, mostly because i found out about it this week! so i'm working hard to get it all done. then i will just have like two weeks until the bake sale!

i have also been keeping aj very busy. i finally got him the "your baby can read kit". he has to watch the videos twice a day, and he has a book we are suppose to read once a day AND flash cards that we are suppose to play with for a few minutes several times a day. its a lot of work on my part just remembering. one good thing that has come of it is that he is not suppose to watch any other tv so we really haven't had it on all week (i usually keep it on all day for background noises). i had tried once before to disconnect myself from the boob tube but was unsuccessful but with knowing that aj watching it can screw up this very expensive program i got him i have a little more incentive. another think i have noticed, aj hasnt gotten a hang of any of the words yet (i just started on monday) but i have noticed that he talks a lot more. mostly just jibber jabbers to himself during the video and talks alot more all day long but now he will say daddy instead of dada. i was always a little worried cuz i could talk but would rarely do it and now he just goes non-stop.
we also had a brief window of sunny weather it was soooo nice we went for walks every day and aj played at the park pushing his little lion everywhere...but these last two days have been rainy and i think aj really is iching to go outside again.
so this week aaron went back to school. its nice because he is just going to school and not working too so we get to spend a lot more time together as a family. we will miss the little extra play money we got from his last job. i can tell that this is going to be a pretty easy semester for him too (so don't listen to him when he says its hard) so i think it will be pretty stress free (or as stress free as school can be)

so i havent added in a long time and i have tones of viedos of aj. this one is of him trying to burp. its one of his new things. everytime he burps he thinks its s
oo cool that he trys to do it again sometimes he can make himself do it...


so another fun thing that aj has figured out was how to play Peek-a-Boo. he does it all the time now its pretty cute. he also loves to walk around. it was killing aaron's and my back to have to walk him all over the house. so i got him this lion that can be a walker or a car. for the first week we would still have to stand behind him cuz he was a little scared and he fell a lot! but once he got the hang of it he can cruze around all by himself. i th
ink it is one of his new favorite toys cuz it gets him to all new places and heights. he is really good at picking himself up to stand and cruze around all the furnature which is fun for him but sad for me...my little baby is getting big :( he is even starting to wear 12month clothes...makes me so sad how fast he is growing up.

this is aj and audree sharing...it was a rare occurrence so i took a picture!

Aj was having trouble taking naps for like a week i think it was when the big part of his molars were coming in...so i would just let him cry for 15mins or so and sometimes he would finally fall asleep. sometimes he would crawl to the bars and cry one time he fell asleep there i thought it was so funny i took a picture
