10 months and first hair cut

My baby is growing up too fast

We went to a fun playgroup and we decided to have Brooke cut Otie's hair

Before:

I was so proud of Otie during his haircut. I was so nervous about it and he was totally fine. brooke did such an amazing job with him. He just chilled and ate goldfish and stared at the squirt bottle and once in a while would turn around to see what Brooke was up to.

After:

screaming with delight- he had so much fun

What are things things on my foot for?

Otie is turning into an independent little man. He can stand alone and is starting to take a few steps...
but he hasn't quite figured out what to do with his toes. They always look like this.
Maybe it's time this little jungle boy gets some shoes.

Missing Ty..

I'm so happy that Ty got a job, but I was secretly hoping that he wouldn't start until the end of the summer so we could have tons of fun together. But, being the good wife that I am, I have pledged to have double the fun in his honor.

Otie is so cute peeking out from under his bike helmet.

I rarely, but sometimes can be a great photographer...this is a great one of Bets (who Otis lovingly refers to as "Buh".

Grandpa was making Otie laugh so hard at the beach.

Scoping out the waves.

The best aunt (in town). We miss Heidi so much.

All in good time, my boy...all in good time.

We did a fashion show. Seriously, we did. Notice Otis, Betsy's purse.

He was having sooooo much fun.

Otie posed for the fashion show too.

Otie loves riding in the bike seat.

I love summer.

We've been spending a lot of time in the pool with friends.
