First Haircut....

Okay this happened over a month ago. I was shocked when realize I forgot to blog about this. Since I started my dayhome I have been a real slacker. Anyways Grayden had his FIRST HAIRCUT on February 20, 2009 at almost a year old. We went to walmart and I can tell you right now I will never go there again. She must have just came back from a SMOKE BREAK and JUST REACKED OF IT. I was soooo upset and I would have asked for a different hairdresser if she wasn't the only one there. Anyway Grayden sat on my lap and cried the entire time!! It was horrible and I felt so bad for the little guy, but it NEEDED TO BE DONE!! Hopefully we will have a better experience next time.

Here is a couple pics of Grayden's FIRST haircut.

13 Months old !!

I know I have said this before and I know I will say it again, but this is the FUNNEST stage with Grayden so far. He is my little toddler now. Thats so wierd for me to repeat but I have to face the facts..... he is no longer my little baby who fit so nice snuggled in my arms. You still love to rock, but you are just so big now which makes rocking you a bit difficult the way your used to.

Whats new with Gray Gray this month?

Every month you seem to find new things around the house to play with or a new favorite room to play in. I believe last month was the pantry and the toilet paper roll....This month you love to play in closets and your new favorite toys are the broom and mop. You LOVE to pretend your sweeping or mopping the floor like mommy. It's very cute to watch you stretch as much as you possibly can in the corner of the fridge to reach them. You still try at every chance you can to get into the toilet but mommy and daddy have become pretty good at making sure that doesn't happen!!! (Little stinker) Oh yah you discovered all the drawers in the house :) (thats a fun one)

I don't think I've seen you crawl at all this month!! You walk everywhere and even try to walk the stairs. (Your legs aren't long enough yet honey) :) You are now running all over the place! We had a couple days where the snow finally melted and the weather was warm enough to go outside, so we put on your rubber boots and took you for you first ACTUAL walk to the park. You loved stomping your feet in the puddles and walking in the snow that was left. It would be so nice to live somwhere warm to take you out all the time because you LOVE being outside so much. SUMMER is FINALLY around the corner and we cannot wait. We are going to have so much fun with you at the lake and We can't wait to do our nightly walks again.

I don't think you have said any new words this month except "Uh Oh" You love to jibber jabber at us and while you read your books. You have loved your books since day one and your new favoite is your "tigger and pooh" book (of course) You absolutely LOVE tigger. You love to take your tigger everywhere. You haven't really gotten attatched to anything like that though. No specific blankey's, no stuffies....pretty much just your soothie and mommy of course. I have heard about little ones who get attached to little things like that and have a whole entourage they NEED to take everywhere, But we have never had that with you (thank goodness)

Food hasn't changed this month. Still LOVE your greens and fruit although I have noticed this month how much you really LOVE your grapes!! Oh yah...you tried eggs for the first time this month and you loved them. Mommy also made you some whole wheat blueberry pancakes from scratch that you LOVED as well. Your still nurseing just as much so not much has changed in the food department.


When you do somthing sweet or funny we'll shout "YAAAYYY" and you throw your arms straight up in the air with a big smile on your face. That's new this month and makes us chuckle every time. Whenever you hear the "think, think, think" song from your favorite show "My friends Tigger and Pooh" you tap the side of your head with your finger just like they do. And you have started to dance (finally) You bend your knees and bounce up and down. You are so cute and so smart.

Well my little toddler, I know I tell you all the time but I could never tell you enough..... love you more than anything in the whole wide world!!
Happy 13 month birthday !!!

Birthday Swim..

This post is a little late I know......We took Grayden to the Airdrie pool for the first time The day after his birthday with Nana and Papa. HE LOVED IT.......I don't know why we've never taken him there before but anyway we finally did and it was a blast. He looked like such a BIG boy walking around in the kiddie pool all by himself!!

HERE ARE SOME PICS OF GRAYDENS BIRTHDAY SWIM !!
