A hair cut and a toddler bed

Well, it's official. Our children are growing up WAY too fast.

After debating for a while about it, I finally decided it was time for Gavin to get his first hair cut. And guess who gave it to him??? Me! It was getting pretty long on top, and fury (lol) in the back. I was really scared to cut it and was about to take him to this kids place down the street that cuts hair, but then one of my friends gave me enough encouragement to do it myself (thanks Angie!). I did it right when he woke up from his nap, so he was still a little tired and didn't move around on me to much. I must say, it turned out really good. Now he looks like such a little man... so precious.

And Madaleine...

oh Madaleine.

I put her down this afternoon for her nap just like I always do. Nothing out of the ordinary. Not even two minutes later I hear her crying and I'm thinking it sounds a little louder than normal. As I'm walking to her room, I realize that her cry is a little louder because she is standing at her door! When I open her bedroom door, there she is... out of her crib. I thought we would just skip the climbing out of the crib phase, but I guess I was wrong! I calmed her down and put her back in her crib, but instead of closing the door all the way, I kept it open a little so I could peak. And sure enough, she climbed right out of the crib like it was no biggie. I got a video of it... I'm still amazed. So needless to say, I called Daddy at work and told him we had some work to do tonight when he got home! We got busy taking everything out of her room and converting her bed into a toddler bed. I can't believe I just said that... toddler bed! We will see how it goes tonight. So far we have had a few crying spells and have had to put her back in bed a few times, but I think she is finally asleep now.

I can't believe they are getting so big so fast! Before we all know it, I will be writing about the joys of potty training! Oh my. Check back soon, I will post some pics of Gavin's hair and Maddie in her big girl bed soon!

Beach trip #2!

We headed out to the beach a few weekends ago, and this time I came prepared with swimsuits and all. The kids had a great time!

Trying to figure out the sand

Figuring out he likes the sand!

I don't know what's worse, the fact that he is sooo dirty or the fact that he is sooo dirty and in my bag!

They were both getting a little too brave with the water and just running out into it, deeper and deeper... they have no fear what so ever!

Lunch with Daddy

We went to surprise Daddy at work the other day and go have lunch with him! It was nice to see him, especially since he has been working so hard (and late) lately! Gavin was cracking us up. He noticed that when we were walking around and I was meeting new people, that I would shake their hands. Well, Gavin caught on very quickly and before we knew it, he was walking around and holding out his hand to EVERYONE to shake. It was hilarious. He is going to be my little business man!
