The Haircut

So, I finally caved and let Jamie give the little man a real haircut. She had just been doing a little trimming here and there - we finally decided it was getting out of control! 

this is on our way to jamie's.... (a little bedhead...)

here jamie is explaining what is about to happen... 

and the finished product! his ears are a little bigger... it's his big brother haircut - he's getting ready!

Just a few pics!

I don't know when this happened, but our baby went from being a baby to a little man. I have been a bit camera happy the past few weeks and just wanted to share a few of my favorites. 

A few of the little man's favorite things now are:

1) brushing his teeth (this will keep him entertained for a good 45 min)

2) swiffering the floors (this is my favorite - we just have to work on strategy)

3) balls - he loves trying to say ball, grabbing, throwing, chasing - a bit obsessed

4) toilets - we need to break this favorite thing...

5) Maddie's water and food bowl - another lovely favorite

Now I Understand..

So, I've always been amazed that people take pictures of their children when they are a complete disaster. Why is this so cute? sweet? They are a mess, right? Well, Jack has helped me understand why mom's insist on taking pics of their dirty children. In my eyes it is precious and I think he's the sweetest thing ever. You want to mess that spaghetti sauce up in your hair? ok - that's fine - because he's my little Jackman. Anyway, for some I know it's weird, blogging about my spaghetti faced kid. But now that I'm a mom I guess I rank with one of those weirdos that thinks it's cute. So here he is.... The best was his hair - why he felt the need to run his tomato covered fingers through his curls I will never know. 

you still love me right mom? my bib says grandma loves me (of course they do!)

hmmmm did i do something wrong?

notice Maddie taking her usual location during Jack's mealtime (I think this is the highlight of Maddie's day)

all shined up and ready to go!
