Retired High-chair

Well ladies and gents. It is official. AJ is becoming more and more independant as the days go on. Let me explain. AJ has really been giving me fits lately when I put him in his high-chair for dinner. Don't know why, he just has. Tonight I put him in my chair for a second so I could get his plate ready. He had pork chops, corn and grapes. He was going to have apple sauce but I gave it to science to make antibiotics. (blech, I just bought it too) Anyway, before I could put him in his high-chair, he started eating off of his plate. I picked him up to put him in his high-chair and the child FREAKED!! He went berzerk! I asked Jason to get his little booster seat that we take with us to restaraunts and Jason hooked it up to a regular chair and I want you to know my little monster sat at the dinner table with us, folded his hands in prayer and then ate like a champ!!! He just wanted to sit with the family and eat like mommy and daddy do. Jason said "It's time to retire the high-chair and use it for the next one." I almost cried at the dinner table.

AJ is a copy cat from the word go right now. He wants to do everything mommy and daddy do whether it's put something in the trash, brush our teeth with a big toothbrush, or eat at the dinner table. He's so smart!!! His vocabulary is growing in leaps and bounds. I almost fell over the other day when I told him to put his foot in his shorts hole so we could get ready to go and HE DID!!!! I thought it was a fluke so I asked him to put his other foot in....AND HE DID!!!! It's such a blessing and so amazing to watch this child grow from day to day. I'm going to make a section to put all of the words he says soon. My all time favorite though is when I walk through the front door and the sweet sound of "MAMA MAMA MAMA" is ringing through the foyer. I just love that little man.
