First Halloween.

I hate halloween.
For real.

Every year I watch Elf and make Christmas cookies.
Now that I have Tag, I am trying to appreciate the holiday and make the best of it.

This is year we handed out candy at the house for a little bit then went trick-or-treating with the Danas.

I wanted colton to dress like a hunter since Tag and I were wild animals... but he was a party pooper.

But we had fun regardless.

First steps!

Tag literally took 11 consecutive steps his first time walking tonight.

Of course since it was his first time, I didn't have the camera ready... then when it was, he wouldn't take more than a couple steps at a time.

Regardless, we are so proud of him! He is getting so big so dang fast.

10months.

I seriously have a monthly update blog drafted every month but they never get posted. I WILL POST THIS ENTRY. I just always feel like I'm missing things... but these are some of Tag's "things" at 10 months

→Stands as long as he doesn't realize he is standing alone... but he is getting better each day.

→he walks if he holds one of my fingers... I love holding his hand and walking side by side. But if I let go he gets scared. He totally has it though. Pansy. ;)

→Loves dancing. He knows dads phone plays music and he loves to hold it and jam. When its silent he just jabbers and holds it towards us like he is asking for us to turn it on.

→His favorite thing is going to the window when dad comes home from work. He sees him and squeals and yells dada over and over.

→He says momma and dada and actually knows what he is saying.

→Loves nums nums. Current favs are refried beans, peaches (real, he hates all baby food) lil crunchies (mild cheddar are his fav) yogurt melts and fruit loops.

→loves pointing at pictures. Pretty much says dada at every picture lol.

→loves waking up and breathes really hard with big eyes like he is super excited.

→he gives the best cuddles. Especially when he first wakes up. He cuddles his head on me, sits up for a minute then cuddles again. The best is when he plays with toys, stops for a love, then goes back to playing. I kid you not,  sometimes I feel my heart is gonna burst.

→obsessed with his walker. He loves when dad hides around the corner and jumps out to scare him so he can scream and run away really fast.

→He also loves balls right now. He likes chasing things. He will crawl to a get a ball but instead of picking it up he hits it away so he can chase it longer.

→when he falls down he likes to be dramatic. He doesn't cry, he just puts his face on the ground and lays there for about 15 seconds...no movement. Its hilarious.

→he is pointing at everything right now. 

→Loves to wave. He knows to wave at hi, bye and see you later. He usually claps after every wave because we would always get excited when he would wave. Its darling.

→loves peekaboo barn especially right before bed every night. We have a coulle peekaboo animal apps in my kindle. He is so smart.  He finds them and clicks on them. He thinks its so fun.

→he loves horses in books or toys. I don't know how he always picks the horse but they really are his favorite.

→he is kindof a scaredy cat though. Talking toys really freak him out at first. Like the stuffed animals. We have to show him they are nice. Its really funny.

→still a little fish!

→BEDHOG! sleeps right in between us, spread eagle, on his back, with no covers. He really hates covers.

→hides everything under our couches... remotes, toys, books, silverware... you name it.

→cupboards and toilets are pretty much the coolest things ever right now.

I hope I remembered all the big things right now. He is our angel. Like I said my heart feels like its going to explode everyday from all the Love I have for this little guy and all the happiness he has brought into my life.

We love you sweet boy. ♡

Bedtime Routine

Every night colton, Tag and I get the kindle and watch Peek-A-Boo barn together.

Tag loves all the animals.
The horse and pig are his favorite. He breathes really deep and fast when they come on. Its hilarious.

He is STILL sleeping with us. I know I know... its not good for them but I love it and so does Tag. It won't last much longer so I'm just enjoying it for the short time it lasts.
Anyway, he has this new habit. He refuses to go to sleep without colt and I both in bed. Then we watch peekaboo barn then he falls asleep.

We love him so much.

Perks of a city job...

Colton working for the city gives us lots of perks.
One of them being free access to the community center in Washington... gym, rock wall, classes and POOL!!

We took Tag tonight.
He had so much fun.

Hidden Valley Park

We love going to the park.

Tag likes the swings but LOVES the tunnels. He thinks the slides are pretty cool too though.

I have a problem when taking pictures. I can't just take one. I literally take 50 of the exact same thing. So I took 84 pics at the park.

The only bad part is, I hate deleting any of them. Even horrible, closed eye, sneezing, wretched bad ones... I think everything Tag does it adorable. So my phone memory suffers.

Anyway, here are a few from our last couple trips.

Teething...again.

The Tagmeister got tooth number seven yesterday!!
{Still havent got a picture though}

Number 8 is right behind. I can see it, it just hasn't broken that last layer.

I'm doing my best to do everything I can to keep his pain to a minimum... but I'm also loving all this cuddle time.

Painting!

Tag made his first project.

My kitchen looked a lot better than the paper. ;)

But I loved it.

I think Tag liked the bath after the best. I swear he would live in the tub if he could.
