Great Grandma's Birthday

Matt's Grandma had her 89th birthday at the end of August, so we went down to celebrate with her. We had a wonderful dinner and Jennings entertained everyone. After dinner we went back to Grandma's nursing home and had cake, complete with candles that we snuck in. Jennings had a lot of fun running into random people rooms and talking to all the Grandmas and Grandpas.

Jennings was playing with Grandma's hair the whole time we were taking pictures. Grandma thought it was wonderful. She kept saying "It's good for the roots, it keeps them stimulated!" We all got a pretty good chuckled out of that one.

Jennings loved playing with Great Grandma's walker. He kept wanting people to give him a ride.

Carter and Danielle

A couple weeks ago Danielle and Carter came to stay with us for a couple days. Danielle is my best friend from college and Carter is her son, our god son. Danielle recently moved home because her husband, Curtis, has been deployed to Kosova for the next year. The boys had lots of fun playing together. We took them to Lindenwood park the day that they left and the boys had tons of fun!

We met Anne and Lucas and all the boys played until they dropped! Jennings almost fell asleep in the swing he was so beat. It was a successful play date.

Big Guy Little Guy

As promised, here are the big guy little guy pictures!

Aunt Stephanie's Birthday

This weekend was Stephanie's 19th Birthday. Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Undlin and Grandma and Grandpa Galvan came to visit. Staphanie got a poster of her celebrity crush Shane West and she flipped out. She pretty much thinks he is the hottest man alive which nobody understands.

Jennings loved the chocolate birthday cake!

Chocolate Icecream

Jennings had his first chocolate icecream cone at daycare this week. It has been super hot and muggy up here, so they gave the little ones a treat to help them cool down after playing outside. He loved it. He was covered in icecream when I picked him up. When I asked him if he likes icecream he said "MMMM".

North to Alaska

A couple of weeks ago we met Matt's cousin Kurt and his wife Janelle, along with their boys, Aiden and Jasper, in Alexandria. Kurt and Janelle live in Alaska, so it is pretty rare that we get to spend much time with them. We were at Matt's Aunt and Uncle's cabin that they had rented and spent the day at the lake. Unfortunately it was too cold to do much outside, so we spent most of the time chatting inside. Matt's Aunt Carolyn has always said that Matt reminds her of Kurt. It isn't hard to see why in this picture!

Matt's other cousin Kathy and her kids were there too, so Jennings had plenty of people to watch and follow. Kathy's daughter Sara is in love with Jennings. Whenever we are around she is playing with Jennings which is nice for us because we get a break. And i have to say, she is a great babysitter!

1st Haircut

We had a big day in the Kuhne house today. Jennings got his 1st haircut! Matt has been trying to convince me that he is ready for a cut for a long time now and i still don't think it had to be done, but I gave in and we went today. We went to Lil' Whipper Snippers to get his haircut and he did a great job. Each staion has a TV and they have tons of kid movies. He was watching Elmo and playing with a dinosaur and his big boy sucker. He didn't flinch or cry or whine, which is more than i can say about myself! I was having a very hard time with the whole thing. My baby is growing up way too fast and i am not ready for it. He went form looking like a baby to looking like a toddler in a span of 15 minutes today. It was very hard for me and my very supportive and understanding husband laughed at me!

These are pictures from before she cut his hair. You can see that it is falling over his ears, but I still don't think it was that bad!

We can't leave out the picture of Mom crying.

Here he is playing with the dinosaur during his haircut. He had a lot of fun. They even let us record the whole thing on our camcorder, how awesome is that!

And finally the finished product. A much older and wiser looking Jennings Robert Kuhne. He decided to sport the mohawk for his first day as a toddler and i have to say, he makes it looks good!
