Tai's First Haircut!

  On Sunday the 10th we were in Salt Lake for the Kynaston Annual Valentines dinner. Every year Colton's grandpa takes all the girls out for a nice dinner, which, by the way, I think is the sweetest and most thoughtful tradition EVER. It has been one of the best things of being married-to get to enjoy all the new and exciting family traditions and get togethers.

Since most of his family couldn't make it to Tai's birthday party, we had a cake smash and Tai got his present from Colton's aunts. We also had a special first-his haircut.

I wasn't anywhere near thinking we would cut his hair, but since both Colton's mom and Grandma are hairstylists, I was getting a lot of crap about my little boy and his wild fuzz ball head. So we cut it.

Daddy wasn't there to watch, but that's okay because he wasn't nearly as attached to the fuzz head as I was. When I asked if he was okay if we got it cut he said "do you want me to say no?" I love husbands and their ability to take the blame ;)

So we got a cute cut, and I kept some of his little first locks of hair, which Colton says is disgusting...(eye roll)...men!

Enjoy the pictures :)

One year!

He is one! My sweet, happy little boy is one.

And today, we all celebrated!

I keep flashing back to one year ago. I was finally awake after a bad C-section and holding my sweet baby against my chest. Nothing in the world could have made me sleep.

Today, he is wedged between Colton and I, considerably bigger ;) but still my sweet baby.

We had a great day. We woke up and went to Provo. Ate sushi. Went to the Disney Store. Mommy got some shirts and daddy got shoes. Everyone celebrated the achievement.

It is amazing how easy it has become-how second nature it is. There was no crazy packing. No breast pumps or spit up rags. He sat in a high chair, ate rice and beans off of a plate, and drank apple juice from a straw. He kept himself entertained with his new toy, and sat cross legged in his stroller-no baby car seat needed.

We loaded him into his new car seat-his own captains chair, and he put his pacifier in his mouth, laid his head to the side and slept, no screaming through the canyon or stopping for a bottle.

He took a shower with dad-sitting on the floor with toys and walked out to the kitchen to have mom dry him off.

He is so big an already so independent compared to the tiny baby I met one year ago.

We had a very fun party tonight, just to commemorate that we made it!

He had so many people stop by to see him, many leaving Toy Story themed toys (he got a full size Buzz Lightyear and a Woody.) He is so lucky and we are so blessed to have such good friends and family!

We love you little boy, you have made our life something amazing!
