First Haircut

I figured since Nathan will be 14 months old tomorrow...2/21... it was finally time for his first haircut. I took him to Tanas to see my stylist Kym, whom I've gone to since 1998. It was special to have her do this for me. She is pregnant and is due in 4 weeks so it was especially important to get this done before her maternity leave. Nathan did awesome! My mom held him because as always, once my mom grabs hold of Nathan, he doesn't want to come back to me so when we attempted to have me hold him in the chair, he started crying. Once we were all situated and the cut began, he was quiet the whole time and very still. My dad and I were like the paparazzi! Poor Kym, kept having flashes in her face. Nathan started sucking his thumb eventually because he was tired. I had woken him up from a nap to get to Tanas on time so he remained fairly comatosed the whole visit. Enjoy the pics!

The Sweet Sound of Mama

Nathan is now 13 months old and is saying mama. This evolved from nah nah, which I loved dearly. He doesn't say mama all the time but when he does, my heart just melts. It's the cutest sound in the world!! His vocabulary is coming along quite well. His favorite word is cheerios, although it does sound like cheer-i-os but a shorter, baby version. I think Your Baby can Read is actually helping him. When we watch the show, he claps, waves and puts his arms up.

He is spending most of his time in the Toddler room now at daycare. Most of the kids in there are walking, which Nathan is not doing yet. I was worried at first that he would not be able to stand his ground since the kids are bigger and can walk but so far, so good. He even takes his nap on a mat without rolling off! I was amazed when I heard about that accomplishment. He sleeps much better in the Toddler room because they have a set nap time, unlike the infant room which has the babies napping at various times throughout the day. Nathan has a friend in there named Dylan. They are so cute together! Last Friday when I dropped Nathan off, he and Dylan were looking at each other reaching arms out. They were both trying to say the other's name too. Sooooo cute!!

This weekend I will finally get Nathan's first haircut. I am going to my stylist Kym who has done my hair since 1997. I am honored that she will cut his locks first. I will be sure and post pictures from that fun time.

Kisses!
