Priceless

McGuire has been growing up so fast the past month and its crazy to say this but NOOO! I don't want him to grow anymore! I love the innocense, I love how he is always honest even if he knows he'll get in trouble. No one has taught him to lie, to cheat, to kick someone else. I would like to keep it that way!

He is starting to put words together and make sentences, he has been taught how to kick a ball instead of throwing it and he is getting heavier by the day! The summer clothes we bought him, I thought would last all summer, well lets say we're making another trip to target here soon!

On thursday while Taylor was in his class, McGuire and I decided to take a quick trip to Days Market. As many of you know I worked there for 4 years, and it was like a 2nd home to me. While we were there of course I bumped into old friends and chit chatted for a while. If any of you have or had a toddler, they don't have the patience for that. But that day McGuire sure did. So I got him a balloon for the awesome behavior that he had during that time.

Hoagie Buns: $1.59
Nectarines: $1.09
Free orange farm animal balloon: FREE
The smile from McGuires face:

PRICELESS!!!!

Tuxedo

When we went to St. George last May for Camille's wedding, I found this cute suit from Christmas time for McGuire. I wasn't sure if it wold fit him or not, so I tried it on him to make sure. I know I don't have to tell you, but he is one handsome little boy! :)

He wasn't too fond of the clip on tie that I had for him, so I wasn't able to get a proper picture with that on him. But he is still a cutie with out one. He should totally be a model, don't you think?

Boots are in the Family

So the last post I put up was with my rain boots with us being stuck indoors during a rainstorm. This last Saturday morning as we were getting ready for the day, McGuire came across his too small boots from Christmas and just had to wear them, regardless if his toes were scrunched inside them.

As he was wondering around the house as Mr. Cool. He found his toy cell phone and this is what came to his mind.

I guess this is what they do at Daycare, and probably has seen me do this while talking to Taylor on the phone. I couldn't stop laughing, I guess I was laughing too hard cuz he looked at me in all seriousness and shh's me! If looks could kill I would be dead, twice! It must have been a serious conversation with his little buddy. I'm so happy to have a kid with such an imagination!

These boots were made for walking?

This weekend was the longest weekend ever! Only because of the cruddy weather we had, so McGuire and I were stuck inside all day long on Saturday while Taylor had to work. Since I was doing laundry the night before, and to avoid the puddles, I wore my rain boots. (I swear I step on EVERY puddle even when I try not to, its not fair)

Anywho, I left my rainboots out for them to dry a little bit faster over night. McGuire LOVES to put on my shoes. I think it makes him feel big or something. He saw my boots and GLOWED! He was so thrilled to see that boots and wanted them on instantly! We struggled a few times to get him to stand up by himself, but we got it!

Here's the result:

He loved being in them, but couldn't walk very well in them, so he was done wearing them. But while he was in them, he couldn't stop looking at them and oooing and awwwing. It was a good laugh for us both! Little boys are the best!

Terrible Twos sneaks in....

18 Months ago McGuire was this little man....

So peaceful and quiet...

NOW.....

to a Goofy....

Cute Temper Tantrums....

Messy Little Toddler

But wouldn't change a single thing about it!!!

The past month has been extremely fast paced in the Daggs home. Everyday there is something new and excited going on.. McGuire has now started to get the terrible two's by screaming, yelling, hitting, throwing, rolling, getting into everything, making complete messes of everything that moves or can move.... I think you get the picture. Its almost like he just drank a pitcher of sugary water and is on the run for something to mess with. No matter how hard we try to disipline him, it just gets worse. All I can do is sit back and watch, maybe giggle lightly to myself, because there is not a whole lot I can do.

But as I look beyond the terrible twos and see the little boy growing so much and every second of his waking hours he is learning, discovering and curiously catching on to the world around us. I will let everyone know who babysits him, he loves rocks and lights.. and he'll throw EVERYTHING at you! On occasion you will get a sit down minute with him on the couch, just make sure there is trucks or motorcycles on the TV screen and give him a popsicle, there's your five to ten minutes of relief. :)

Summer is here finally, which means its walking season for McGuire and the fam. Every night after dinner (if its not spaghetti) we'll go on a walk around the town and go visit the turkeys and geese in a close by yard. McGuire LOVES to see them and look at the feathers and listen to all the sounds that they make. Its great entertainment. I'm looking forward to such a busy, fun, exhausting summer... Stay tuned for more excitment and adventure of  18 month old McGuire and his parents!
