Admiring puppies

Puppies and blocks

what better way to spend a Christmas morning than playing with puppies and blocks?

pants for sale

I took a picture of these snow pants to list for sale, and apparently no other pictures got taken today. 

fish

our library has several fish tanks that J loves to look at, but this one is a new addition. the fish in it are huge, and really fun to look at :)

snowman parts 2

I started to put the snowman parts together today (all except the bottom). as expected, J wasn't super happy about it, but did still enjoy dragging it around, and cuddling it a ton. 

tall tower

we had a ward breakfast and tithing settlement this morning. our tithing settlement was later in the morning, and we finished with breakfast rather early. so, we went and occupied J in the nursery for a while. it took us quite a while to distract all the kids that had joined us, but we eventually built up this tower with all the blocks. When we were ready for it, none of the kids wanted to come knock it down. it was rather amusing. 

at the park

It was a "warm" day, and we both needed some time out of the house, so we went to a nearby park for a while. This was J's reaction to being somewhat coerced (meaning gently pushed) down the slide. 

snowman parts

These white balls are eventually going to be put together into a snowman. In the meantime, J loves carrying them around and snuggling them as much as possible. this poor snowman had better be up for some rough lovings from a small boy!

Big couch!

J discovered someone moving a big couch today. He loved that it was just the right size to be a J seat, and sat on it for quite a while.

Mom!

Santa and a carousel

J didn't really like going to visit Santa, he thought we were crazy and leaned as far away as he possibly could.
however, he loved going on the carousel.

exciting fruits

We decided to get adventurous in choosing fruit this week at the grocery store. Shown in this picture are a Dragon Fruit (the white and black speckled one) a star fruit, and a persimmon (the red tomato looking one in the bag to the side).

bench

sprawling

okay, so I know this picture is actually getting up from sprawling, but he has sprawled out in the middle of the hallway floor for no apparent reason, it was rather cute. 

Monkey face

cut off selfies

J loves to sit on my lap and have us try and take selfies, or just play with the camera and see the flash go off. this one was the best for today.
