A Little Off the Top

Some of you may have noticed my inconsistent blogging lately. I simply have not had the motivation to write much. Do not be concerned, however, because I will still be showing up from time to time to make sure you don't miss out on any important moments, like Nathan finally walking more than a clumsy, hesitant step or two.

That being said, I am here today because of one of those important moments. We decided yesterday that it was long past time to get the boys haircuts. Actually, it was a little soon for Patrick because I could still see eyes and ears behind the mop of hair, but Nathan was starting to look like a wild man. So he had his first ever haircut.

Of course he cried, the whole way through the haircut. Even having his brother right next to him, calmly sitting throughout his own haircut, didn't keep him from being traumatized by the event. Fortunately he calmed easily once he was out of the cute little car chair.

I, however, am not recovering quite as easily. I miss those adorable little baby curls that will soon only exist in his baby book. He's still as cute and charming as ever, but he is certainly more that little boy he's turning into than the baby he was.

Of course I have pictures. You can see the whole group of pictures here, but here are a few before and afters for you.

Wow! Those are two major milestones in Nathan's life. The boys both look so sweet with their haircuts. And congrats on the walking, Nathan! What a change for your mommy!

Oops, apparently I wasn't clear. Nathan still isn't walking, other than one or two iffy steps. The only milestone this time is the haircut. But you better believe I will post when he does start walking!

I just went to the blog this morning just to see and to my surprise there was something new!! The boys look cute as usual, Nathan's haircut sure changed his looks. Still very cute but more like a little boy. Great pictures as usual.

Cute pictures, and I have missed your more frequent blogging. It's quite understandable though, we all know you're a busy mama.

I have a favor to ask of you. My best friend is Tracey, she is an ex-pat's wife currently living in Malaysia. She is interested in photography and is in the market to buy a new camera. She needs guidance in a good quality camera so she can hone her skills; she is interested in taking photography classes overseas while she can. She was very impressed with your 1st birthday pictures of Claire and would love your input. You can link to her blog through Lauren's- hers is "tracey in thailand", or you can link through lauren's FB page. If you chat with her and give her some guidance, she (and I) would really appreciate it.

Thanks so much Kathy!
You will have to bring the boys to swim when the pool heats up!
Did you go to our neighborhood pool last year? Just wondering how that worked out.
