gettin' down!

so cayden's dance moves are getting a little more advanced. check out the hand/arm twirls. he just needs a couple of glowsticks, no? (sorry the video's a little vomit-inducing; it's hard to catch this act. oh, and once again, jeremy's featuring his beat-boxing skillz. he's just cool like that.)

working wednesday: bonus room update

and i'm back with working wednesday! (sorry for skipping last week's post; i didn't have time to take photos or pick up. not that anyone really missed it... but i digress...)

today's feature is the entertainment area. we purchased some shelving units from target and arranged them how we needed them to create our own version of an entertainment center. they're perfect for storing our dvds on one side, and on the other side? fabric!

and those cute little black totes? yeah, they hold even more crafting materials that just didn't look as pretty sitting on a shelf. (yes, i'm giving you a small peek into my unorganized side! pretty messy, huh? and honestly, it does drive me nuts that things are just thrown in some of those totes, but i guess that's how it has to be sometimes.)

when this room becomes a full-time entertainment room, we do plan on upgrading the size of the tv just a bit and mounting it on the wall. and this all sits across from where our sofa will go. i love the look of these shelves against our gray walls. and the fabric and dvds add a nice pop of color!

cayden says "hi!"

cayden would like you to excuse his milky mouth and chin please

no really, cayden says hi to EVERYONE now. or he stares at them. which is just impolite, so we taught him to at least wave. so now he waves and says hi. and bye. it doesn't really matter who you are. if he sees you, you'll be greeted in one way or another.

random guy at old navy? loved his "hi!" so much that he then proceeded to ask cayden for a high five. and a high five he got. such a social little guy... he definitely got that from his dad. me? i'm the shy one standing behind everyone. most likely blushing.

lookin' cool

it was a little cooler out this morning (lovely!), so here's cayden's look for school today. i have to admit that he looks pretty cute here. and you can see his new 'do. um, one day his hair might lay flat? or at least look like he hasn't just crawled out of bed? eh, i kinda hope it stays like this forever.

the curls? are gone.

but they'll be back! promise! we took cayden for his first haircut last week. and he did wonderfully. the worst part for him? being sprayed with water. i mean, really, for him to be SUCH a water baby, he completely hates for his head to get wet. i just don't get it, but whatevs.

he sat in jeremy's lap because we knew that cayden sitting by himself would never happen. hello wiggle-worm! and even then, we had to keep distracting him with certain things just to hold his attention for a little bit longer. (oh, look, a mirror! oh, look, a hairclip! you get my point.)

tim (our stylist) was awesome with him. snipping away as fast as he could while cayden would turn this way and that. everyone came out unscathed (as i figured someone would get snipped with some scissors by the end of it)... and our baby looks like a little boy. oh, and as for the curls? his hair is still not stick-straight; it's got a nice texture to it... but the curls don't flip out anymore. we'll get them back though. don't you worry.
