Happy Belated Birthday Papaw!

We can't forget about Papaw's birthday! This should've been posted on the 26th!

Halloween

We are getting ready for Halloween. We can't decide between the turtle and the monkey. Let us know what you think.

Fourteen Months

Baby is 14 months today! All of those cliches about time flying are really true. I can't believe how quickly the last year has passed.
Baby continues to do well. He is maturing so much that he really doesn't look like a "baby" anymore.
He is walking a few steps at a time on his own. He is very close to walking fulltime.
He continues to "flirt" with everyone. When we go out shopping, he tries to make eye contact with everyone and then gives a coy, little smile. I can never go into a store without someone stopping to ask questions about him.
We are still participating in sign language classes. It's sad to say that he is the most difficult child in the class. He is one of the older kids and shows no interest in the class. The class is held in a bookstore and books just happen to be one of baby's favorite things in the entire world! Nevertheless, Daddy spends the entire 45 min. chasing him around the store while I learn the signs.
Overall, we are doing well. I'll post some pics soon.

First Haircut

Baby had his first haircut this past Saturday. I knew it was time to cut his hair when someone referred to him as "it". Another woman at the mall said, "Your baby looks like a pixie". It's not a dramatic cut, but enough to show that he is a boy.

Baby also began sign language classes this past week. We all hope to become fluent in ASL.

Before and After

Diaper Dandy

Baby learned a new skill today - how to take off his diaper! Yes, that's right. When Nana went to pick him up after his morning nap, he was buck naked and covered in poop from head to toe! I can only imagine the mess. The best thing about this situation - I was at school and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. I'm so glad this happened while I was gone. I laughed about this incident all day long!

Back to School

Well, it's that time of year. I'm now back in school and feeling completely overwhelmed. I'm stuck in class all week long. Ugh!
Nana has been our savior and caring for baby while I'm away. Baby continues to do well and is just the most pleasant guy ever. Even though I see him every morning, I'm seriously grieving not being able to see him all day long!

More pics to come.
