Dono does Disney

On Monday we went to Disneyland with Kathleen, Leah and Zoe. We all had so much fun going on rides, walking around and even watching the Playhouse Disney show. But the most fun the kids had was when we let them run around together in an open sitting area we found. They had a blast! Mostly Zoe would run around and Donovan would run after her yelling. Then every once and a while they would stop to babble with each other or kiss. They even found a pond with some ducks to watch and yell at. They really enjoy the simple things in life. I think that's a good lesson to glean from a couple of one year olds. 

He's not a baby anymore. (sniff sniff)

Well I think Donovan officially graduated to toddlerhood. He got his haircut this week. All his beautiful blonde baby curls went bye bye. We weren't planning on getting it cut for months but the last few weeks this hair has been so unruly and sloppy looking. We decided it was time for a cut. He took him to a cute place in Pasadena called Little Kuts. It had a really fun child friendly atmosphere. I was curious to see how he would do while his hair was being cut. He turned out to be quite the champ! He just sat there and let the hairdresser do her work. We were both so proud of him! We wanted to take him to get his hair cut professionally for his first cut so we could watch how to do it ourselves for next time. Poor Donovan might end up with some crazy haircuts from Mom and Dad down the road. Here our some pictures from the haircutting adventure. 

At home before the haircut. Note all of his curls sticking out.

Wearing his cute haircutting cape. He was so serious through the whole thing. 

Sporting his new do with Daddy.

Outside afterward, looking up at the balloon they gave him. 

Here's a short clip to show how awesome Donovan was during his haircut. Yes I know it's sideways. Sadly I don't know how to fix that. If anyone has any advice let me know. 

Some of my favorite July Donovan photos

Our little Donovan is 15 months old now. He's really on the move now, walking, trying to run, dancing and jumping on furniture. He's been very verbal lately. His favorite things to say are "Dada" "Yea" "No" and "Doggy." He's so funny and full of life I just love spending everyday with him. I'm so grateful to have a camera and be able to capture all this adventures on film.

Being cute on our bed (his favorite play place).

Funny face!

He was playing a game with me where he closed the bedroom door, laughed and then opened it and came out and jumped on me. He's a silly boy.

Donovan loves his Elmo.

Post nap hair. (I love this photo!)

Splashing at our friend's water table.

He made me laugh when I saw him sleeping like this.
