16 Months

Our little man is growing up so fast! He opens doors, tells me when he needs to go potty, successfully used his potty today, loves to help with everything, loves reading his scriptures (he will sit and listen while I read a whole chapter), and thankfully lately has been happier about the baby. For a while he got really upset anytime we would talk about the baby, but now he gives me toys and tells me they are for the baby. It is very sweet. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. We sat and watched some of the videos of him over the past 16 months last night and he loved it. He loves wearing his ball cap, playing with other kids, reading books, sweeping, vacuuming, doing the dishes and laundry, and saying prayers. He jumps in during prayer to add his own bit. So sweet. He will even remind me when we forget to say prayer as a family before Jadon goes to work. We are so lucky to have such a sweet, sensitive, happy boy. He is going to be an awesome big brother!

Tave's First Haircut

Today Tavius had his first haircut! I can't believe he is old enough to need a haircut. He did not want to hold still and it was so difficult. It took a combination of me, Grandma Bond, gummy lifesavers, and letting him hold the camera. Because he was the one holding the camera I wasn't able to get too many pics during the cutting (also because I had to hold him in my lap with my arms around him), but I got lots of cute pictures of him playing in the water afterwards! Enjoy!

Before...

(you can kind of see the curls at the sides...should've gotten one of the back, sorry.)

and after!

Thanks for your help Grandma!

He loves to help water the plants.

And getting all wet! This boy loves water in his face!

can you tell?!

He also knows how to get your attention...by getting right in your face when he talks to you!

I think it's a really sweet picture though.

He liked the sprinkler, too.

Look at my strong, handsome boy!

This is just a cute pic of my boys playing on their tablets...well one is mine, not Tave's!

For any of you who may not know...I am currently 19 weeks pregnant. Yes, 19. Almost halfway!!! Baby looks good and I am feeling great! There has been a lot of movement the last few days, which is fun most of the time. And no, we are still not saying what it is. I tried to add a countdown here on my blog but couldn't find the one I used last time or any that I liked so I guess we will have to live without it. I keep losing track of how far I am though...but usually I think I am less weeks than I am so it's exciting to find out I'm further than I thought!
