Tater's 1st Haircut


Umm, can I get a little water here?


Holding on to Mommy and squirming while the clippers go to work.


Just a little more off the top.


The finished product.

supersonic

This week I have taken to calling Larsson "p". As in peanut, sweet pea, etc.

At 4 this morning when "P" woke us up, Justin (who btw calls Larsson by some strange nicknames like "man taco") said, "who is this "P" person, Mama?"

To which I replied, "My peanut, pumpkin, sweet pea.".

And Justin added, "The "P" is for perfection."

As we all tried to go back to sleep, all I could think about was rewriting the lyrics to "SuperSonic" using "Larsson Michael".

Happy 1st birthday, Tater!

Dear Larsson,

I can't believe it has been a whole year! A year since you came into our lives. A year since we became parents. A year since we became a family of three. A year of learning and growing and changing.

You just amaze us everyday. Your smile. Your sense of adventure. Your lack of fear - which frankly also terrifies me.

Here are a few things we have learned about you so far:
- You have your own way. While most babies sit, crawl, stand, you did that in reverse and practically all within a week.

- You watch and learn. You pick up any item you think is a phone and put it up to your ear and walk around the house talking. Who are you talking to, by the way?

- You grow up way too fast. Last Saturday, you walked around with the phone in one hand and a Starbucks cup(empty) in the other.

- You wake up every day ready to start the day. You pop your little head up, look around, smile and giggle and take off. We know you don't get this from your mama.

Our monkey. Our wild man. Our pea. Our nugget. Our tater.

We can't believe how fast you are growing up and love watching you evolve into a little boy. Our little boy. We love you!

Happy 1st birthday!

Wednesday Weigh-In (Week 3)

Week 3 aka we are starting to get in gear.

Starting Weight: xxx
Week 3: xxx-2.2

Total weight loss: 2.2 lbs.
Weight left to lose: 17.8 lbs.
