Haircutting in action

Out to dinner

After the haircutting, we went out to dinner to celebrate. We discovered that bench seats are NOT the best choice for the mobile toddler, but we had fun nonetheless.

Jacob's First Haircut

It finally had to happen - the first haircut!!! It was just getting out of control. But the hairdresser only took off a little, so he still looks like my moppy little man. "We took it from a mullet to a shag," she said. He was not a fan of the process and required a couple mid-cutting hugs from Mama, but he was also pretty calm on the spectrum of screaming kids at the salon. What a big boy!

Fun around the house

It takes a lot to keep Jacob and Mama entertained inside all day during the dark days of winter, but some good truck books and an art project go a long way.

Practicing Brother

After reading a book about having a new baby in the house, Jacob wanted to practice putting his doll baby down for a nap. So he helped me wrap her up, sing her a song, give her a kiss (we even did some practice nursing on Mama) and put her in the crib. He then chose about 10 animals to put in her crib with her while she napped.

I am so proud of him. I hope that this transition is a smooth one. I'm sure it will be rocky at times, but he is such a sweet boy and I just KNOW he is going to be an amazing big brother.
