Happenings...

We took Jackson to get his first professional haircut the other day. As you can see, he really needed it...

Whoa! Shaggy and fuzzy!

Phil insisted that we go to a barbershop rather than my salon, so we went to the most manly shop in town. They had animal heads and pictures of hunters and their dead animals all over the walls. The barber was very patient and did a good job. Phil was a little put out that we had to pay the same price as an adult haircut ($11) even though it only took about 5 minutes, but what are you going to do?



This first shave freaked me out a bit... I told the barber I didn't want it shaved, but he went pretty short in the back. It turned out okay, though.


The cell phone only worked as a diversion for a little bit....


Happy in the car afterwards with his Tootsie Roll reward from the barber... what a cutie.


I found this elephant rocker at an antique store today... it was a good price and I thought it was really cute. J doesn't have a rocker at all, and I think he likes this one. His feet barely touch so he can't rock himself yet, but hopefully he'll be able to soon. Please excuse the cord mess in the background - Phil is getting ready to install in-wall speakers and has been messing with all of the electronic equipment. Usually those cords are nicely hidden.




Phil and I check on J every night before we got to bed, and every night we find him in a different postition. Last night when we walked in the room, this is what we saw. No wonder he doesn't like sleeping in the car seat - he needs to sprawl...


We thought he looked so cute that we decided to risk waking him up with the camera flash. He stayed asleep, though!

One last thing... this is now what happens when I turn my back for a few minutes. Someone has figured out how fun toilet paper can be. I have to be sure to remember to keep the bathroom doors closed. At least he isn't playing in the toilet water or something. :)
