AJ is learning to walk

So AJ is almost 1 year old, and he's starting to walk.  He stands up all unsteady, then takes a few steps before plopping over.  He loves to hold a single finger for balance and walk around the room.  He also loves to look at the moon.  When we're outside, he stares up at it, and when we're inside he loves pictures of the moon in his book or on the mattress in his room.


The other day, he went out on the patio and got stuck inbetween the playhouse and the window... here's what that looks like!

When I got home from work today, Taylor wanted me to come outside and play with rock people with her... Rock people is drawing chalk circles around rocks... very strange game.  She loves to ask us to tell her stories.  The stories she wants to hear always include "Once upon a time there was a little girl named Taylor" and then we follow it with random things she has done or hasn't done.  Very funny and cute!

  1. Hey Christopher, haven't you ever heard of that game before?!!
    I'm responsible for the "Rock People" game. It's weird what I can think up to entertain her;-}
    Just making good use of items you already have around the yard. First you select a rock with a great shape for a face,then, you place it on the concrete, then you trace it with chalk. After, you draw a face on the rock itself and draw funny hair on the concrete to go with it...you remove all the rock people from their place and try to match them back with the original outline.
    I thought everyone did this.....crazy Meme
    Skills developed: small muscle strength, accuracy and coordination for the drawing; short term memory and taking note of details for matching the rock people with their "homes".....WOW!
