And.... He's Off!!!

As I have mentioned before, TJ has been a mover and a shaker from the very beginning. We all figured he would be an early walker and sure enough, he is. He's been itching to get up on those feet for quite some time. And, he's very excited and proud now that he is succeeding at that. He started taking steps a couple weeks ago, is now walking short distances and is quickly gaining confidence in his abilities...
Gotta love the mix of concentration and excitement on his face. Next thing I know he'll be running and jumping. He's really not giving me any time to enjoy each stage. I'm continually discovering just how bittersweet parenthood can be (in more ways than one). Where's my slow-mo button?

Just some pics

Chillin' together in the wagon. They both love this!
Little momma feeding her babydoll.
TJ's first biter biscuit. I'm wondering who it was that thought these were a good idea? Never used them with Alli and I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have with TJ either. What a mess! Not to mention when it got small enough, he crammed the whole thing in his mouth- also not good.

A glimpse at our spring....

TJ & Alli enjoyiong the beautiful spring weather

Finally, things are green again and everything is blooming- notice all the little roses on the vines running through the mesquite tree in the background. Unfortunately, they only last for about 1 week. Had to get some pics while we could.

Alli's flowers- she takes very good care of them, watering them often.

TJ just being his adorable self

EASTER morning...

Alli got a Mrs. Potato head in her Easter basket and she was having fun with her glasses...

Candy!!!! My favorite.

The family photo...

I think TJ likes me a little (or maybe A LOT). He's not a momma's boy or anything.

Playing with all their loot!
