11 months old!!

Time has flown by and on June 7, 2009 my baby turned 11 months old! WHERE DID THE TIME GO? He certainly cannot contain himself now and will not leave the date paper alone. We had to tape it down and give him the tape roll to distract him! Crazy kid!!

Matchy Matchy boys!

Deric got these T-shirts when he went to Daddy Boot Camp before Dray was born. I nearly forgot about Dray's shirt before it got too small! So we had an emergency photo shoot. I'm sure they didn't appreciate being photographed by the lilacs, but it looks nice. And smells nice too! Aren't they handsome??

Matchy Matchy

This is the second set of matching shirts Mimmy bought for Dray and herself. Aren't they so cute??!! :D This one says, "What's up?"

New Camera!

One of our lovely kitties knocked my camera off the table - henceforth, it broke. Caput. I knew that I would absolutely not be able to live without one for very long. So, after saving up a few bucks, I was able to get a more professional one. These are some pictures I took with it. Not that they are great, but I'm working on it!

Red Wings game!

Deric and I went to Game 1 of the NHL Western Conference Finals vs. Chicago Blackhawks! It was a lot of fun - they won! Of course now we know they went on to lose the Stanley Cup finals - but we enjoyed the journey there!

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was May 10, 2009. We had a nice day! We visited Grandma Taylor, then went to Bucia's for dinner.

Cutie Pie

Mimmy dressed Dray up in the cutest little boy outfit the next day. I couldn't resist taking more pictures! And he was in a better mood, so it worked out! I'm so glad we got his hair cut.

10 months

The next day was Dray's 10 month birthday. He was not in the mood for more pictures, clearly. At 10 months Dray is 20.b lbs, 30 in. long, has 3 teeth with 3 more about to come through!

Haircut!!!

Buster and I both got our haircut on May 6, 2009! I thought I would cry for his first haircut, but I didn't. My eyes did well up a few times though. But he looks so cute now; it was so worth it!

Farewell to Buster's hair

Some snapshots of Buster's last hairwashing with long hair! Followed by a nice blow-drying at the end :( It was bittersweet. Actually no, it was just sad! For me anyway.

Buster's Ponytail

So I decided to give Buster a little ponytail, since I knew he'd be getting his haircut in a few weeks. It was kind of a rebellious act to those who gave me crap for letting his hair get so long! He didn't mind it, though. =)

Happy Easter!

Make a Smilebox greeting

One more, before I forget!

This is a collage I made of all of Buster's adventures trying baby food! I made it to go scrapbooking with, although when I came to that page, I got stuck :( So if you have any good ideas for a 2 page spread, let me know!

April 7, 2009! 9 Months old!!!

Where did all the time go? How did my baby get to be 9 months old!? I still really can't believe it. But these pics are sure to be embarassing when he gets older! :)


Buster Buns!! I really love this one - I just wish he could have held still! The next one is still good though too!
