First Haircut

As you may have noticed in some of the latest photos of L, his hair is often hanging in his eyes or swooped over to one side. One night, when K was out, I found myself grabbing a bobby pin & pinning his hair out of his eyes. That's when I realized it was time for a haircut. So behold, here is a before & after photo of L's new hairdo.

L's First Birthday

Hi all!
Here are some photos from L's first birthday weekend, which we celebrated up in Michigan with my family & K's parents. It was a beautiful weekend! I've also included a few random photos from the last few weeks.

L is getting closer to walking but still doesn't have the confidence to try it on his own! He has this hysterical new smile where he closes his eyes & flashes a huge toothy grin. His fine motor skills seem to be quite developed; he's very good using his "pincher" fingers at placing things exactly where he wants them. He had his first experience with spaghetti (see below), which was a big hit. He loves other kids! The other night at Stone Soup, the kids were having a dance party upstairs & L was right in the middle of it bouncing & laughing & throwing himself at the other kids. SO cute to watch. (It was one of those moments where I wish it had occurred to me to get my video camera.)
