El Paso trip- first few days

We have had a great few days in El Paso... He are some of our fun memories:

LJ always makes friends with animals - if they let him!


Trying to catch Gigi's bubbles!


Playing at the park:



Making new friends (LJ kept touching Amy- who we just met- and excitedly repeated 'a friend, a friend!')...


Chatting away and picking up rocks in Gigi's hat...






Having Gigi read to him...


Sitting in Capi's tow (used to move planes) - which LJ calls a car!


Trying to get new toys at Walgreens ...


Entertaining himself with a roll of toilet paper- he snuck off while I was getting ready and I found him talking to himself, ripping up pieces of toilet paper and stuffing them down the toilet paper roll...


More play time at another park...


Peek a boo with random kids!


Running around


Opening wide for his Syrian food at Farrah's- he loves it!!


LJ tugging on Rachel to come walk with him...


Love our time with Great Grandma Rachel!


Brushing Capi's hair...


And Grandma's hair!


Watching Final Four with Capi- go Kentucky!!



Splash monster in the bath! Gigi and I get totally drenched while he just cracks up!

LJ Swimming

LJ has made some big improvements in his swimming these last few weeks.  We are so excited and proud of him. He absolutely loves swimming and being in the water- we have probably been swimming at least 5 days a week. 2 weeks ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=ZZbP_UhrCnE And this weekend...  Also, at the end he asks if he can go pee off the balcony! Haha! Another thing he has gotten very good at! And while this may sound surprising, we are very proud of this too because he successfully pees most days (hey, have to start somewhere, right!?)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S80hmdL1_2Q&feature=em-upload_owner

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

LJ Loses his first Teeth!

Image
LJ's two bottom teeth were definitely loose. He had been wiggling them for MONTHS and insisting they were about to come out! While we were in El Paso in June, one of them got really loose, and he even begged us to just pull it out or take him to a dentist!! Hah!!  And I actually tried, but I couldn't get a good grip on it. Then when we looked up ways to pull teeth (like the well known string on a door handle), the overwhelming recommendation was NOT to do it!! Apparently this could cause a tooth to come out too soon and lead to infection! Who knew! So he had to wait!!  That said, he tooth was getting so loose, it was leaning sideways in his mouth!! It almost looked like it had come out sometimes because it wasn't sitting so funny! Then on July 3, as I was brushing his teeth before bed (sometimes I make him let me do it so I can be sure they are getting a good brushing), I literally brushed his tooth sideways!! Ah!!! It looked crazy, and he said it was hurting h...
