Well we had quite the busy weekend! Today Ajax and I were up early, playing and talking, my mom and cousin came over and we went to my Grandpa Nader’s to visit. We then ran to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for my cousin Ryan’s graduation party. I dropped Ajax at home with Dave so that he could take a good nap, then my mom and I helped set up for the party. The party was quite the hit and Ajax was both mesmerized by all the loud Italians and slightly intimidated. It seems that when we are out with a lot of new people and sounds Ajax definitely wants to kind of watch what’s going on from the comfort of either my lap or Dave’s. I also notice that he isn’t as loud and outgoing when we’re out. For example at home he was laughing and talking all day, but at the party it was a bit difficult for an unfamiliar face to pull out his smile. Oh, on another note- I think Ajax is going to be left handed.
The graduation party was also the first time that me and my cousins were all able to get our babies together; it’s neat how close in age all our kids are. Below is a picture of us all- Left: Jillian with her son Gavin (born Nov. 2008); Ajax and I (born April 3, 2009); June and her two daughters – Emma (June 2009) and Jordan (age 2); and Rachel and Alex (born April 8, 2009). The only cousin we’re missing is my family in Seattle, Washington- baby Daniel (April 2008)!
