NEWSFLASH! Jay takes first steps!

Well, I honestly have no pictures to prove it...I do have video, but I have no clue how to link that here, so you'll just have to believe me :)

After weeks of toddling one step here and there...and cruising furniture for months, Jay finally took the plunge and just waltzed his way from one end of our bedroom to the door.

I was so surprised...but it seems if you 'bribe' him with a crayon, he'll do just about anything.

So, there you have it. At 15 months old, and after so many comments about 'oh maybe he's not walking because (insert remark here)' OR 'Whats wrong with him?'...my baby is walking...and not a moment too soon, because I can see some chase-downs on the horizon :)

YAY FOR JAY!

Little Yoda

Awww...I can't believe this year is Jay's SECOND Halloween...seriously, it's just crazy to think he's already this old.

Remember last year?

The cutest elephant ever?
This year, Jay is Yoda...I have been DYING to get him into this costume. I bought it a few months back and just this evening decided I should make sure it fit before it's too late and he has to dress as a ghost or something on Halloween :)

We picked up these reptile slippers at Old Navy today and although they're still a little big, I'll just put a few pairs of socks on him to make sure they dont' fall off ;)

Crayons & Colouring

Jay's new favourite thing is colouring...or eating the ends off of crayons and squealing as he smooshes a colour onto the page :)

Playing in the pumpkin

I got this pumpkin for Jay to go Trick or Treating with...
He loves to play with it :)

Kissy Kissy

Awwwww.....

First Haircut

So today was the day.
I had actually been toying with the idea of cutting Jay's hair for quite a while now...but it wasn't until last night in the bathtub while I was washing his hair, and noticing how terribly ratty and tangled it was getting that I realized...it's time for a haircut.

So, instead of dragging it out, making an appointment for next week, next month...next year, I went in to the hairdresser that next day (today) and made an appointment for when I was finished with work.

Jay was SO good.
He kept pointing at everything, and looking around, there was just so much to look at. He loved that there was a huge mirror in front of him. He was able to stare at himself, and he thought that was just fabulous.



He was so good!
Really, we only took about an inch off all over, and maybe an inch & a half at the back...it's still curly! It's just a little shorter/cleaned up.

I still have the curls...I'm thrilled. Jay looks more like a little boy than a baby anymore...which is sad, but it's a right of passage :)

Mac n' Cheese boy

We had mac n' cheese on thursday night and Jay decided it was more fun to smear all over his face than to eat it. Although eating it was kinda cool too! Guess who went straight to the bathtub after this meal?
