I Need to Bye-Bye

My mom stopped by tonight for a few minutes and we walked her out when she left. Coker, wanting to make sure TJ was safe, took his hand as mom was ready to pull away from the curb. TJ protested, "I need to bye-bye." TJ took his hand back, waved big open-handed waves and called out "bye-bye, bye-bye."

TJ's Party

Mom shared some pictures she took at TJ's birthday party, so here are some of each of our photos...

This is the amazing birthday cake that inspired the cowboy theme. It's made to look like "Cowie," TJ's favorite stuffed animal. You can see more of Tammi's amazing cakes at http://luckeycakes.com/LuckeyCakes/Luckey_Cakes.html She even has Cowie in the gallery on her website.

The cake tasted as good as it looked!

Here's TJ dressed up like a little cowboy sheriff.

Coker and TJ rode togetherYep, we rode horses up and down the street in our neighborhood. Teresa's leading Paul's horse and Coker is leading Alec's horse.

TJ's proud of his new crayons. I like this funny shot of him.

Paul Says

I want to be a coach of football when I grow up because coaches can play really well and I'm already a good thrower.

TJ Says

I want some milk-y in my cup for the bible tells me so.

Two Today

Happy birthday, TJ! My baby is two today.

Here he is with cake on his face. We had a cowboy-themed party, so Teresa brought horses to ride. What's a cowboy without a horse?

Conversation with TJ

A true Roswell, TJ has a conversation starter. Once introductions have been made or if he feels there is a lull in the conversation, he says, "this is my mama." He motions to me, his treasure. Every time he does this, I want to sweep him up and tell him that he's my treasure.

I've also heard him say, "this is my Paul," and, "this is my Amina." Sorry dad! Maybe there just aren't any lulls in your conversations.

How much time have you got?

Paul: Where do words come from? I mean where do we get the words microwave and tree and house?
