AJ had a great Christmas. The whole family got to spend time in Kansas with some of the grandparents. AJ enjoyed some time with all his cousins. With Ellie and Josh, he wanted to be a big kid and do everything they were doing, and with Dean, AJ wanted Dean to be bigger and be able to get up and play with him. A few times he would grab Dean by the hand and pull on him like he wanted him to come along. Though AJ doesn't look thrilled in his picture with Dean, it was only because AJ is not a fan of having to sit still for pics these days. He is a busy boy and always wanting to be on the go. Speaking of wanting to be on the go...AJ found the suckers on this trip to be his grandpa Cook and his friends Al and Steven. These were the guys willing to walk (and run) with him all over, take him outside, and play chase. All of AJ's favorite activities. AJ bonded so much with grandpa that when saying goodbye at the airport, AJ did not want grandpa to leave. When mom tried to take him from grandpa, he pulled his hands back and shook his head at me. He fussed when I took him away from grandpa, reaching his hands out for him and whining when he saw grandpa go out the doors. AJ is such a traitor! Thank goodness we are back at home and suddenly, mommy's existence is once again important to the little boy.
Though initially acting shy, AJ quickly warmed up to his grandpa Lentz who came to our house in Ohio today for a Christmas visit. He learned quickly that this grandpa was fun to play with as well. What a terrific holiday time we have had this year!
