Happy 2nd Birthday, AJ3!!! You are growing into such a handsome, funny, fearless, curious, adventurous, independent, loving, wonderful son!!!!
Mater and Pater love watching you, when you're copying your older siblings in all that they do and say...
...concentrating on your toys...
...laughing infectiously...
...becoming the next Steve Jobs...
...obsessing over Humpty Dumpty and his proclivity for falling...
...looking for the moon...
...or just flaked out after a hectic day deciding if your poo is "deyicious" or "disguskin"...
Now a common complaint from adults who are the third child in their family, is that their parents didn't pay them as much attention as their older siblings while growing up. Those claims are totally not true, AJ3! A complete lie. Couldn't be further from the truth. We are always aware what you're doing and why you're doing it...
Okay, okay, so maybe we have left you to do you own thing. Occasionally. Once or twice. But that doesn't mean we won't make a crazy fuss about your birthday, with multiple parties in multiple countries!!!!
Happy Birthday to our coolest little dude! We love you lots!!!!
...as if! Admittedly, the helter skelter of having a new baby has abated and, as you reach your 1st month AJ2 (Happy 1 Month!!!!), there's not a whole ton of events to report as far as you're concerned. Mater tells me you are excelling in all the normal new-born-baby duties (since she spends more time with you than Pater who is busy ensuring your sister doesn't do anything crazy).
Sleeping...
...bathing (pre, during and post) ...
...and generally being cute...
But the same can't be said for you, AJ1! Your brother's birth has not slowed you down one bit. Pater's exhausted trying to keep up with you!
You're now firmly ensconced in your new "big girl's bed"...
...and just like Mater, you are excellent at multi-tasking!
Not that you only chatter while on the throne...
Pater may be happy to grow his waistband, but you're no couch potato. How much keep-fit does a gal need to do???
But it's not all go-go-go. AJ1, you may have the busiest schedule since Margaret Thatcher (oh come on, give me a break, Pater's a child of the British 80s!) but you still make time to hang out with your old man, and share a hot chocolate. With skimmed milk, obviously.
So maybe the Hass Avocado household has calmed down a bit. AJ1 has learnt to chill. And we've got plenty of time before AJ2 gets active. Don't we???
