Ian's First Official Hair Cut October 2011

It was a momentous day Saturday.  It was time to have Ian's hair cut officially by someone other than me (I know everyone is relieved that I have retired my scissors!)  We took both boys since we're having family pictures taken on Friday to commemorate Ian's first birthday.  Noah was a snap, taking about 15 minutes (it's not too hard when you pull out the clippers).  Ian on the other hand, took about 40.  I think between all the hair that needed to be cut, and his moving around, it was rather time consuming.  For the most part, he was a champ.  We put on Yo Gabba Gabba (I still don't understand the fascination with that show!) and used a scissors for most of the cut.  I think that helped as it wasn't until the clippers were brought out that he started to freak.  By the end, I think he was getting tired because I had to hold him so she could trim the last bit near his neck.   He looks so cute, but it's weird to see my baby disappearing and a toddler emerging!

I'm posting all the pics I took.. just because...

Crazy hair before the cutting begins!

I started out happy!

Watch me and how calm I am!

I think I'm getting tired

I don't like the clippers!!

I'm happy now that I'm home (no I didn't drink that beer behind me)

Mr. Noah went to soccer while we wrapped up Ian's hair cut.  When they got home, we rushed over to see cousin Vivian Worthy get baptized.  It was lovely!

We spent the remainder of the weekend getting the house in order for guests to come next weekend in celebration of Ian's first birthday.  (I cannot believe my baby is 1 already!!)  Can't wait to share his special day.  

The weekend has already come to an end but we're gearing up for a big evening tomorrow with Trick or Treating. I took the boys up to Mary Kay last Thursday for trick or treating and now Noah asks me multiple times a day, "can I have some candy".  Its the first thing he asks when he wakes and the last thing before bed.  Of course, I'd probably be generous if he'd just eat his meals, but that's still tough.  Candy isn't even an incentive.

The T-Rex costume Noah INSISTED he have.  I tried to get him to be a Ninja Turtle, Cowboy, Indian, Race Car Driver, but No, he had to have this...

Speaking of not eating, Ian is doing much better, but it's still a challenge to get him to eat real food.  Not sure what he's going to do once he's off the formula.  He should get his one year check up soon.  I'm curious how much he weighs now (he's definitely not starving!).

Stay tuned for Halloween pictures this week!  The boys are looking forward to all of the visitors coming this next weekend.  Safe travels!!

Love to all,
