The big day has come and gone

So today was the day Layna was suppose to get her ears pierced.  I hyped it up for months and she was super excited.  I was feeling on edge all day feeling like I was making her grow up too fast.  I know they are only earrings but still the fact that she was going to have holes in her ears really started to bother me.  We arrived at the doctors office and I told Layna that the piercing would hurt a tiny bit. She seemed a little nervous but alright with it.  The nurse came in and started to talk to me about it.  I told the nurse that I would be okay with her talking me out of it.  She said that the first hole she would probably sit still for but the second I would have to restrain her.  She asked if I was ready for that.....I responded....."Nope,  we will come back when shes older."  As we were leaving, Layna said " Layna's ears pierced."  I responded with "No honey, we will come back when your older because it is going to hurt a lot."  She then says "Yep, hurt a lot not a tiny bit." I am so relieved she agrees...LOL.

She can wear stick-ons for now so I can preserve her innocence.

What to do with this crazy hair!

I had to post about Hunter's hair.  It's crazy!  According to Momma B it will fall when it gets long enough......it is just like his father's at his age.
                                                                        The poor thing!

                                          I don't want to ever forget Hunter looking like this;)

Just like his father

I get a call at work today that Hunter ate 2 pancakes and a snack size applesauce.  Um...he is 8 months old.....WHAT????  Oh and apparently he loved every minute...of course he did MOM....why wouldn't he love stuffing his face.  There is someone else I know that is all too familiar with that;) 

Its been a long time since we posted....Thanksgiving was great.  Hunter enjoyed the food and Layna enjoyed the company.

We also had Hunter's dedication the week prior which was wonderful. 

Hunter, With the help of God......we promise to raise you in a home where we put God first and serve Him each and everyday.  We have faith that you will grow up to be a Godly man who loves Him with all of your heart.

  And Halloween.....Layna was a Giants cheerleader and Hunter a Giants Football Player (of course)......he actually looked like a mini football player...kinda crazy.
