We're claiming today as Jay's first word day!!!

Although he has mimicked sounds, today Jayan pointed at Joe and said "Daddy" in the sweetest voice I have ever heard. Needless to say his Daddy was indeed beaming! Previously he's pointed to Joe's picture and said Dada but today we are sure he knew what he was saying. We are so proud. :)

It's the Little Things

On Saturday Jay went for his first big boy hair cut. I had a feeling he was going to get a little squirmy in the chair and sure enough I think we had tears through the whole ordeal. But his Aunt Steph got him a gift certificate to an awesome kid's haircut place and they were very nice and patient with us. I would definitely go back there!


Although weaning Jay off his bottle isn't going as fast as we'd like today he took many sips from an apple juice box through a straw! This is huge and hopefully if this keeps up we can get him on a sippy cup!


Joe aslo told me that today Jay went down the big kid slide all by himself. This scares me a little but I know Joe's there with him. I have a feeling if I went with them to the park poor Jay would never get to do anything because I worry too much. So today I celebrate all the little milestones in our world. We may be behind in some places but when you look at the big picture my little boy has come so far. He is a true fighter and I have no doubt we'll get over these little bumps that are holding him back a bit for now. I want to thank everyone who gives us support constantly you have no idea how much it means to all three of us.

A little unsure about the whole haircut process
