Happy Halloween!!

Pops and Nathan before trick or treating!


We had my friend Lauren and her family over for dinner and trick-or-treating. We had so much fun and our little boys looked adorable in their costumes!

God Bless The GloWorm

Who would have thought that this strange looking stuffed worm would turn into my sons favorite thing ever?? "Hermie the Wormie" as he has been named (Hermie for short), will glow and play a lullaby when his tummy is pressed. A friend of mine from high school gave Nathan Hermie for his first birthday and I am SO grateful for it. Nathan has four molars coming in right now, which means my baby is extra cranky and extra clingy. Two nights ago, as I was getting in bed, I began preparing myself for his typical middle of the night teething cries. And low and behold, at 1:21 a.m. he proved me right. But, the crying literally lasted 2 seconds because my GENIUS little boy found Hermie in his crib. He pressed his tummy, and laid back down. As soon as the lullaby was over, he would pop his little head back up and press Hermie's tummy again. This process went on for a total of 30 minutes. How do I know this?? I watch him on the video monitor.....the entire time. And in my groggy state, I was so convinced that our son was quite possibly the smartest baby alive.


So, thank you Beca for buying him Hermie, and thank you Nathan for being smart enough to use it. Maybe tonight I will actually get some sleep.

Bye bye curls- Nathan's First Haircut

After much debate, I decided it was time to get Nathan his first haircut. As cute as his little curls were, they were getting out of control!


Before

After


And how cute is he in the after picture??? He looks soo much older now too!

He did awesome during the haircut too! I was not really sure what to expect, but he sat there like a good little boy the whole time. Of course the little rubber snake he found at the salon was a great distraction!

And yes I saved one of his curls to add to his baby book!

Introducing....

NATHAN JOHN SPINNEY!

OK, maybe I'm a WHOLE year late, but better late than never right???

Out of jealousy of other moms that are organized enough to document every detail of their child's lives, I have decided to create a journal of my own. And since my little baby is already a year old (Seriously??????) I have a lot of catching up to do!!
