Big Boy Haircut!

2011-06-15T16:32:00.002-04:00

Today was a big day in Maclaren's life! He got his first big boy haircut! His Aunt Wanda cut it and he is now free from his babylocks. He is already super excited about it and it doesn't seem like he will be looking back.

I guess this marks his transition from a baby to a little boy. A little sad, but we are really looking forward to seeing what kind of kid he will be, what kind of stuff he will be into, and most importantly, what sports he is going to play! Anybody care to take a guess? I suppose we should go ahead and start taking sponsor offers... I think he would look good in Nike, but I guess I will be okay if Adidas comes calling.

Happy Birthday Maclaren! Today was a great day full of birthday festivities! Maclaren had a Toy Story themed party and a ton of family and friends were able to make it. It started off with play time in the gym, complete with bouncy balls, ball games, and a bouncy house! After that, we moved into the media room for a time of present opening and cake eating. Maclaren got way more presents than he needed, but a good time was had by all.

All the grandparents were so much help making this day special for Maclaren! Everybody was able to chip in to make everything run smoothly. Thanks guys!

One of the hits of the day was Maclaren's birthday cake (made by the world famous Grandma Doo Doo). It was in the shape of the number 2 and was decorated in the Toy Story theme....very cool.

We capped the night off with a viewing of Toy Story 2 (one of his birthday presents). This was a fitting end to a fantastic day!

Visit tomorrow for a more complete post with photos and videos!

We love you Maclaren! Happy Birthday!

Most of you have probably seen this, but I decide to post it just in case you haven't. Maclaren has done a fantastic job since he has given up his pacifier. He asked for it a few times that first night and will mention every once in a while, but he know that it is in the trash and is okay with the fact that it is gone forever. Good job little man!

Big Night Tonight! No More Pacifier

2011-01-14T16:20:00.001-05:00

Maclaren in giving up his pacifier tonight! Scary! We are going to make a big deal out of it and really do it up. We thought about sending it to China or throwing it in the ocean or giving it to a less fortunate kid in Ecuador. Instead we are just throwing it away. That way he will know it is gone and has no chance of getting it back... To soften the blow we are going to watch Toy Story (his favorite by far) and we got him a new full size Buzz Lightyear (that he will receive upon the depositing of pacifier in trash).

So long PePe! You had a good run!

It's been a few weeks since Oktoberfest so i decided to post a few photos and a video...The little boy liked oktoberfest but it was super hot and he was wearing the leather pants...not sure i would be all that happy about it...but he has some German blood in him so he got through it!

Sorry about the lack of updates kids....we will do a better job of keeping everybody informed! Maclaren is almost 8 months old now....Crazy!!!

He is still battling through an ear infection and is on his second round of antibiotics....He is being a trooper but is waking up around 3:30 or so, this makes for some tired parents but we are getting through it! We just hope he gets back to his normal sleeping schedule once he gets better...We love a baby that sleeps through the night!

Maclaren also did his first piece of art at school....Click on the thumbnail to see a full size version. Yeah that is a tree with trunk made up of chubby arm, leaves made of hand, and apples made of piggy fingers!

Stay tuned and we promise to do a better job at posting!

Happy 2 Months Monkey!

Today Maclaren has his big two month birthday! He celebrated the day by eating, sleeping, pooping, hanging out with Doo-Doo, and watching some soccer with his Daddy. As of today he weights 10.8 pounds and measures about 24 inches.
Happy 2 months monkey!
