The Bean

J.J. has earned many nicknames in the 11 months he has been alive. Some include The Dude, Dudeage, J-Ger Bean, Bean, and The Beaner. He is one of the coolest little babies in the entire world. He smiles and laughs all the time, dances to Ally's "funky rock and roll" (as she calls it), crawls all over the place, puts anything and everything into his mouth, and has recently begun saying a couple of classic baby words! We all love him so much. His crazy hair and wild headbanging (he'll ram his head into you if he's really excited, shake his head like crazy if he knows you are going to try to extract something from his mouth, and crawl around shaking his head back and forth with such force that it throws him off course!) keep us entertained all day.

Here are some photos of the little guy in November...

Headed out with two rulers from the office...he loves having things in each hand that he can bang together

Notice the hair...

Our little happy guy

The infamous "hug or headlock?"

One night he just kept making this face and breathing really fast...

...then I realized he was mad because I wouldn't give him the spoon!
