My First {real} Haircut

"Mom, I am not sure about this...."

"Oh no you didn't...."

"Why yes....I would be happy to sit still for a sucker."

"Looking good....if I do say so myself!!"

15 Months & Loving It!

Our little guy seems to get cuter everyday. His little personality really has a cracking up. He loves to tease and laugh. He is very patient with others. He isn't walking yet, but pulls up on everything. He is saying about 25 words, which include Momma, Dadda, and Kitty of course. He loves books and still cannot sleep without his Bear.

Just call me "Captain"

Ansel is finally old enough and big enough to sit in his front facing, big boy carseat. And he LOVES IT!!
"I can see Mommy"
"I can touch my foot"
"I can see out the WINDOW!!"
