Tonight we had dinner at AJ's Chicago grandparents' house in the back yard, and it definitely brought back memories from last summer when AJ was a little guy and we would take him over for an extra couple sets of hands to soothe him when he was fussy and a good home-cooked meal. Last summer he was in that fussy newborn stage when he cried for no reason, and we were still getting to know him, so he was hard for us to read.
Tonight he was swinging in his swing, playing with his plastic lawn chair, sitting up in his highchair sampling a cheeseburger and watermelon and hamming it up for his audience. He was laughing and playing peek-a-boo and adorably snuggling up to his dada when he got sleepy. We know him much better now and can usually read when he is getting hungry or cranky or tired, so things are easier on that front as well. What a difference a year makes!
