Sorry for taking so long to post this but life has gotten a lot more busy around here.
A last minute phone call from my Mom the morning of my hair appointment convinced me that maybe I wasn't quite ready to chop ALL my hair off. So I went more Jennifer Aniston and less Jennifer Nettles.
...with bangs. I am a week into my new hair do and I LOVE the cut but am hating bangs.
Not as short as I was originally planning but my hair dresser did say she took of almost 5 inches!!!
Happy Sunday!
Hard to believe he went from this...
to this...
We had beautiful weather Saturday (it actually felt like a warm summer day) and it was a great day to celebrate our littlest man.
Waking up in the morning to open his present from Zachary.
of course Zachary has 'show' Elliott how to play with it.
the cakes
Hard to see but this was a wall decoartion with a picture of Elliott from every month. Interesting to see how much he changed over the year.
yum.
Presents!
Playing with Grandma Lisa
Happy Birthday my little man. We love you to the moon and back.
A big thanks to everyone who came out to help us celebrate.
Happy Wednesday!
This is my hair ...
after a summer of neglect its proably the longest (and blondest) it has been in a long time, maybe ever.
September is bringing a lot of change to my life. I am heading back to work after being at home for a year. I will turn 30. It feels like after many years of sporting the same hair style that maybe my hair should change too.
I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. I love my hair. When I have the time I love to style my hair. I actually think its one of my best features, however, it hardly ever looks like this. I really wear it up in a ponytail 90% of the time. I play sports. I have two small children. A ponytail is easy. I hate always wearing a ponytail.
This is the cut I want.
I have a hair appointment booked for Friday. Do I go for it or not?
Happy Tuesday!
Lately I have had so much floating around in my brain, so much I want to blog about, that its taking me awhile to digest it all so I haven't blogged about any of it yet.
Things on my mind...
I know this is just a little teaser but stay tuned I promise to blog about all these things very soon.
Happy Sunny Sunday!
Busy busy busy... the only word I can think of to describe Elliott right now. He is on the move and into EVERYTHING! Pulling vents off, opening cupboards and taking everything out, climbing stairs, and chewing shoes. The moment he sees something he is not suppost to get into (like the toilet) he crawls as fast as he can right for it. We play a new game now 'Move it, Close it, or Pick it up before Elliott gets it' Zachary thinks its quite fun (most of the time).
He has stretched out a lot and at 31 inches he is taller now then Zachary was at 18 months. He mimicks all kinds of sounds and is 'talking' a lot.
uh ahh = uh oh (whenever something drops on the floor)
um mmm = thank you
bub ba = Zachary or bottle
ma ma
da da
He is signing quite a bit too
water (when he wants a drink), all done, more, milk, bath, elephant
He has 7 teeth right now and I think he is working on number 8.
The 11 month photo shoot did not go well. He is WAY too busy to sit still for pictures anymore but here are a few (and these are the best of the 150 I took).
Don't let this face fool you... he is trouble.
yes we finally decided to cut his hair a few weeks ago
I told you Mom I dont want to sit for a picture!!!
First haircut.
Exploring the dinosaurs on our Jurassic Walk.
My water baby. Loves anything to do with water. The bath, the kiddie pool, or even the cold water at the splash park.
Happy Tuesday!
This past week Zachary has learned to ride a bike. No kidding it has been that fast. He rode once before we left for Green Bay and then twice since and by the fourth try he made it all the way to the park and back. Just yesterday he rode all the way to the corner store and back (which is quite a long way).
Murray and I are so proud of our little man.
His head is tilted because he also likes to sing his own made up songs while he rides and bobs his head from side to side. i wish I had a video camera for moments like that. It was very sweet.
Happy Friday!
Finally some sunshine.
Went out into my garden to find this...
Apparently my Nasturtiums and Sweet Peas are loving all of the rainy weather we have been getting lately.
A nice surprize.
Happy Friday!
