This afternoon I decided to just have a little fun with the camera. AJ was sitting in the grass just pulling up handfuls. I quietly watched him from the window for a long time. He sat there for a good, long time. It finally crossed my mind to go get the camera. Of course, by the time I got back he was up and running around. I had a camera in my hand, a beautiful day, and an adorable little boy running around with no shoes on--how could I pass up an opportunity to just take some fun pictures of his expressions. I know it's often said that there is barely a record of a 4th child because parents just don't have time to take pictures, but I'm finding that I take even more pictures of AJ. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I know he's my last and I'm doing everything I can to preserve these memories. A toddler is so full of life and expression . AJ may not be talking at all, but he sure speaks volumes through his expressions.
These next 3 pictures are just too funny! He was being soooo silly. He was pretending to eat grass. But, then one time he actually took a real bite of grass (picture 1). In the 2nd picture you see his face after tasting the grass. He was trying to wipe the grass out of his mouth. Picture 3 is him "spitting" the grass out. I was laughing so hard watching him do all this.
Such a happy boy
Kaeli came out to join the picture fun. She is soooo awesome with AJ. When Paige was born she was still too young to care. When Ryan was born I think she just felt displaced in the family and didn't really get too involved with Ryan. But, she has thoroughly enjoyed having AJ around. Even when I was still pregnant with AJ, Kaeli showed a strong affection toward him. She couldn't wait for him to be born. After he was born, she became incredibly attached to him. It's been so wonderful watching her be such a great big sister to him!
