Jace’s first hair cut

IMG_5365
It was finally time for a little hair cut for Jace face. His little curly cues were getting a little too long, tickling his ears and neck. Somehow his hair hasn’t all come in yet, but where it has has grown out a lot. So, Grandma Joy trimmed him up, I put all his curly blonde hairs in a bag for his baby book, and he officially looks like a toddler now. No more baby mullet and curls. It was so fun to watch (of course); glad my family got to partake in the first hair cut!

A boy and his blanket + a video

Recently, Jace has been more and more protective of his blankie. It’s like a drug to him. Don’t try taking it away from him. He’ll scream at you. If he sees it and you don’t give it to him, he’ll give you a death stare. He is obsessed. Attached. And this blanket is usually covered in drool, food, snot, dirt . . . it’s always filthy. It smells. We have to sneak it away to wash it, then it magically appears again, fresh & clean. After talking about needing to get a back-up of it somehow, somewhere online, (and then not actually doing it, ha), my friend Heather went to work on Amazon to find the exact match of his monkey, fleece blankie. She found it and bought him two. TWO! The night we opened the box, Jace was a crazy happy boy. He didn’t know what to do with so many monkey blankies! He started flagging the new blankets around .. rubbing them on his face, biting them, dragging them. He was in blankie heaven. His little face was so blissful. Thank you Heather, for going the extra mile for Jace. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to have two back-ups of his favorite blankie.

Jace’s california pineapple birthday party

pineapple-pinata-diy
Jace’s first birthday was an absolute hit. I planned a very colorful and fruity birthday for our little pineapple. Even the weather felt tropical with the rain and warm temperatures. I’ll let the pictures say the rest! A big thanks to all of our friends and family for celebrating this special day with us. Such a blast. And Mr. Jace was the happiest, cake-eating, attention-loving little 1 year old ever. Such a ham. I must say, I had so much fun planning this party; more fun than any other. Especially the little goodie bags for the kids. We love you Jace. You’re the light in our life.

Jace on Christmas morning

This little boy had a wonderful Christmas morning. He woke up in the best mood, ready to play. Before we started opening gifts he had a blow-out. Thank heaven I had a “back-up” Christmas pajama outfit for him to wear, ha. I’m very proud of our gift this year for Jace’s first Christmas. Knowing that he’s more into music than anything else, I found a little tambourine in the $1 racks at Target and he got the biggest kick out of it. Score! I feel so blessed that we were able to celebrate Christmas with my parents and wake up and carry on the tradition with Jace. It will definitely be a Christmas we’ll remember forever.

After he played with the tambourine, he then went on to play with Daddy’s new underwear, ignoring all of his other gifts, lol!

Halloween, Jace

All Hallows’ Eve

Hope you’re all going to get your party or trick-or-treat on tonight. Our new little town goes pretty crazy for Halloween so we’ll be passing out candy and mingling with the neighbor folk. Happy Halloween friends!
