Big Boy

July 27, 2011 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Boys, Dragonfly

1st hair cut

Mama sat me down in brother’s chair.

She went for the shinny scissors while daddy went for the sticky sweets.

Daddy gave me a lollipop. Mama showed me the tools.

I had no fear and put up no fight.

My sissies and brother stood by my side.

Then it happened, everything was clear and I had no more long hair to grin and bear.

All were smiling with joy at the sight of me becoming a big boy!

 P5190855  My little guy turned 1 last week on May 17.  Sparkles birthday followed on May 18 so I stretched Dragonfly’s birthday out over 3 days.  I hope to get better organized by the time he gets old enough to care.

He had a great time on some rides at the impromptu party that Sparkles planned.

Dad and I had a simple (traditional) birthday date with Dragonfly.  It was an evening of fun on the floor, doing whatever Dragonfly proposed.  He couldn’t have been more thrilled.

Dragonfly had his first taste of cake!  He was all business.

Walk This Way

April 15, 2011 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Dragonfly

Dragonfly is a few days short of 11 months.

Gio's first steps

He took his first steps on Tuesday, April 12.  It was a series of 3 steps.  He has been taking solo steps since then.

here’s Dragonfly at his nightly play date with mom and dad.

It looks like he’ll be our fourth GFG to join the 11 month club.

Sparkles walked at 9 months

Sweetie and Papi walked at 10 months

Rose walked at exactly 12 months

I’m not sure that dad and I are ready to have two boys on the loose.
