Happy Birthday, Noah!
Testing the waters
Sam’s been eyeing Noah’s bath water every night for months now. Tonight, he finally got up the courage to jump in…
Consolidating the mess.
I started searching the internet for a bib with a “trough” when we started giving Noah finger foods to feed himself. Turns out, he prefers to deposit about 54% of that food into the folds of his clothes, the seat of the high chair, and the floor. I wanted to consolidate the “droppings.” After reading rave reviews, we purchased one of the Baby Bjorn bibs.
Works like a charm. :-)
First Real Haircut
Noah’s hair has been hanging over his ears, down the back of his neck, and in his eyes when it’s not combed over for a while now. I’ve just been too scared to go at him with scissors. Although I did trim it over his ears a few months ago…and I also trimmed his little newborn mullet when he was a couple weeks old. But this is different. This was a need for an all over trim, and I just didn’t have the confidence to try it. So we went to see Mrs. Brook. :-)
And, the finished product:
P.S. – Can you spot the new little tooth in that last picture? After MONTHS of drooling, chewing, and fussing, it finally popped up a couple of weeks ago!
P.P.S. – I was trying to keep Noah still and happy while Brook was cutting his hair, so Jake actually gets the credit for these pictures. What can I say…he had a great teacher. ;-)
