The Barbershop

Drew had his first haircut yesterday at the barbershop. We took him to Dan's barber and he even got a first haircut certificate. I love Drew's curls, but he was in need of a haircut.

He sat so good with a little comb in his hand, just looking around.

About halfway through the cut, he noticed Hailey had a sucker, so of course we had to give him one. He thoroughly enjoyed it and I think I may have found a good bribing tool.

My little boy after his first haircut, still hanging on tight to that sucker.

He looks so much older now. I love it, but I have to admit that I miss the curls. I'm looking forward to it growing a little so he has some curl back, but for now he looks so handsome. (Hailey loves to tell Drew how handsome he looks.)

Drew's Latest

My little man is learning and exploring new things every day. He is pretty much into everything- he definitely keeps me on my toes! I love to hear him say new words- there is something so special about hearing a child say new words. Some of his favorite words right now are grandpa, nana, toothbrush, toothpaste, down, downstairs, cracker, georgia (this is the name of a little girl I take care of), and dump (now let me clarify "dump"- he says this when he dumps out toys or when he tries to dump out his milk from his cup). Some of the other words, other than mama and dada of course, are ball, car, bath, cup this, nose, and doggy (this is still pretty muffled). It's fun to keep track of a handful of the early words. I looked back at Hailey's first dozen or two and they are very different. Another latest for Drew is that he now dances when he hears music- this definitely makes me smile!
