First Hair Cut

Ok, so I had to finally break down and get Alex a hair cut. A real hair cut, not some hack job by his Mom ;) You know it's time when you're cutting food out of his bangs because they are so long. We took him to Magicuts this weekend, and here is how it looked!


Here is the before photo--His hair looks like some really bad 80's hairdo that was once all the rage but when people look back at photos, they go "What was I thinking !?!?!?!?!?!"








Alex did really well...He fought us a little bit, but there was no crying or anything. He really enjoyed the attention!































































By the end of the hair cut, we needed reinforcements--He just wouldn't sit still!













The finished product! Such a handsome boy :)


In other news, Alex has cut his second set of molars, so now he is up to 12 teeth! Only 10 more to go! Also, I was looking through my photos on this batch of downloads, and found this pic, which I think, is way too cute!

This is Alex with Grandpa on Grandpa's bike. Earlier he was in the driver's seat, but I think he looks better on the back of a bike rather than driving it!

New Teeth!

I was playing with Alex today, and his new favorite game is to be flipped upside down. I thought I saw something and upon further inspection I saw that Alex has his first set of molars! He cut two at a time (like he has with all his teeth), and you can see half of the tooth on the left side, and the right side is just starting to come out. I noticed about 2 weeks ago that he wasn't eating anything except bananas and strawberries, but I thought it was just a phase thing...Turns out it was because he gums were to sore! Other than the not eating thing, Alex hardly fussed at all over these teeth coming in. I just keep telling myself--by this time next year, no more teething!
