Hare & Hairs

The Easter Bunny and a haircut, that is. Graham celebrated both of these things just a little over a week ago!

Before - a long, wild mop of hair that has short patches (from where he lost some of his baby hair):

During - not quite an independent sitter, so we had the help of a bin to make sure we cut it evenly:

After - look at my handsome little boy cut(and thanks to Mikel, our daycare lady, who used to be a hairdresser)!:

Happy Easter from the Pretekin Family!

G's 1st Passover!

Graham celebrated his first Passover last night. Yes it was early, but the couple that always puts together our big Passover celebration was getting ready to travel, so they had to have it early this year. Graham had a great time, although he had to be taken out during the service. His happy screams and laughter were just a little too loud!

Family Values

My cousin sent me these wonderful pictures of my grandparents! My best guess is that these pictures were taken around 1935, In the the pictures with their friends, my grandparents are both on the left.

Resident Foodie

Our little man has started on solids, and he loves them! He currently enjoys rice cereal and sweet potatoes. He absolutely LOVES both of these things. Now that we are past all of the tummy troubles, he seems to have a big interest in food. When we are eating, he mimicks the motion of chewing and reaches for our plates. We can't wait to see what other foods he loves as we continue to give him new things!

For Love of a White Cat

This photo is nearly 3 years in the making!! Linus has loved Prue since the first time he saw her across the family room. Prue has not felt the same way. While she tolerated him, she would not snuggle up to him no matter how much he tried. Well in the past week, things have changed! Several times in the last few days I have found these two snuggled up next to each other on our bed. Linus' persistance has paid off!

A Hair Raising Tale

Fantastic Five!

Graham is five months old!

He doesn't love to ride in his car seat, but looks so cute all bundled up in it!

He LOVES to stand!

His first time riding on Papa's shoulders. He's not quite sure about this yet!

It looks like he just might get his Mama's blue eyes!

He loves spending time with his Uncle Zach!

He loves eating his rice cereal. He has really gotten the hang of eating off a spoon and starts opening and closing his mouth the second we put him in his high chair and he sees the cereal bowl coming over.

Happy 5 months buddy, we love you more and more every single day!
