1st Haircut

On Saturday Feb 4, 2012 we took L to get his first haircut! We knew it needed done for quite some time but just could never bring ourselves to actually do it.  FInally on saturday I felt bad for him always having to look through a curtain of hair and I was tired of wiping it out of his eyes, we had some time to kill before the furniture store opened and this kids haircut place was there and open so in we went.

They were very nice and the lady doing the cutting was great with L, she was quick and able to work around his erratic head movements, he actually has a pretty even haircut despite how much hair he needed cut and how much he was moving.  It took her a little while because he had so much hair so he started to get a little restless towards the end but in all he did fantastic!

He looks so cute with his new do, but he looks so old, not like a little baby anymore :(

The place had these little TV's and cute smocks to distract the kiddos, they also had bubbles but she couldn't find them, I think L would have liked the bubbles, he even got a cute little prize for being such a big boy!

52:5 Stretch

lately my life has been a big STRETCH

I have gone out of my comfort zone so many times the past two weeks, I can only give credit to God, I have prayed a lot lately but basically since moving to Houston 3 years ago that God would bring me a good group of christian women to connect to.  I know that God puts people in and out of our lives at just the right time and he has put some fantastic people in my life lately.  It has taken me out of my comfort zone but I know friendships and relationships go both ways, I knew I needed to step out and make an effort.  I am so glad I stretched myself and went out of my comfort zone because I have met up with and hung out with some really cool people the past two weeks and I am really looking foreword to what the future has in store for these new blossoming friendships!

LIFE

52:4 BUSY

Sometimes, life gets insanely busy and any free moment I have I want to spend doing nothing, which is why my project 52 didn't get done last week...life got away with me and before I knew it it was late on friday night and there was no picture to be had.

Oh, well, such is life.

snaggle tooth

Landon currently has three bottom teeth and is getting this tooth in on the top that is not in the center like you would expect but way off to the side...I call it his Hobo tooth and he has adapted the nickname "Snaggle tooth" It cracks me up every time he starts smiling or laughing because you just see this random tooth off to the side!

P.S. this lil guy is 8 months old!!! I will have his 8 month post up this week!! Life has been so busy this past week I feel like I am constantly playing catch up on many things so Im hoping after this week when I am off orientation at work and I can once again make my own schedule I can get things back in order :)

52:3 Relax

Life
in life sometimes we just need to RELAX

It seems that as I get older and especially since having Landon that life operates full steam ahead at all times and even when I'm sleeping or lying down my mind is still working in over drive. 
I don't like that.

I need to take more time to relax, so what if all my "chores" don't get done, I need to be ok with that sometimes.  I need to cherish every moment with my family because tommorow is not guaranteed and time seriously flies by! I blinked and my baby is now so big and getting more grown by the moment. 

Being able to relax is so important to our well being and I am putting it on my to do list!

Project 52:2 :: Giggles

Life

is getting the GIGGLES

Sometimes, L gets a bad case of the giggles.  Especially when he is super tired he becomes giggly and delirious.  I love those times because he will just laugh and giggle on and on and then he gets super excited and will start to screech and wave his arms and legs all over the place like he has so much happiness and excitement he just cant get it out fast enough.  Its so cute.  He is most ticklish on his tummy and his sides, we were having a bad case of the giggles while playing peekaboo, his new favorite game

The most wasted of all days is that in which we have not laughed

Project 52:1 :: Bliss

I'm linking up with Shawna at StyleberryBlog for project 52 this year.  I saw this last year and decided that I wanted to participate this year.  Its called project 52 and basically each week you take a picture that tells a story, at the end of the year I plan to put them together in a photobook

I wanted to pick a focus and I really couldn't think of anything other than LIFE.  This blog is about my life and at the end of the year I want a book about my life.  Life is so fluid and constantly changing and morphing into something else.  

52:1 LIFE

Right now my life with this little guy is Bliss, he is so easy to please and when I look at this picture, this smile, I can hear his sweet laugh and its something I want to never forget.
