First Haircut

The boys had their first haircut on Sunday. The haircuts didn't go quite as I expected.
I envisioned sitting them down, taking great before and after pictures, and in general making it a big event. After a few weeks of talking about cutting their hair and it not happening because it didn't fit into our schedule, I ended up cutting their hair after their bath on Sunday.
I took the boys up one at a time for their bath. Then after they were clean I had them stand next to the tub playing with the toys and the lotion tube (which they never get). They were a little curious about what I was doing behind their heads. I stopped occasionally to show them the scissors and they would go back to work. I have to say, I did a pretty good job for my first attempt at cutting wiggly 13 month old's hair.
I saved a bit of their hair and recorded the date. I at least was able to do that even though it wasn't a big production. I trimmed Leah's bangs a week or so ago and saved those too.
Here are a few photos from earlier in the month as the before shots and the after photos taken Sunday.

35 Weeks

Image
A couple weeks ago while in the hospital I was just hoping to make it to 34 weeks, and here we are at 35 weeks...only 8 more days to go. I had a doctor appointment on Friday and the babies still looked great, so it's up to me to take it easy for one more week and drink a whole bunch of water to keep the contractions away. My belly is really starting to feel heavy when I stand up and while sitting, as it rests on my legs. In all I'm still not all too uncomfortable. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I was thinking about how people always want to reflect back and say they are still 29...I'm sure my hugeness isn't what they are imagining. I've been upstairs for the most part lately, avoiding the steps. So instead of taking my pictures in my usual spot I had to find someplace upstairs. I'm in front of the babies room door. For fun I took pictures from every angle. Hopefully I'll get one more set of pictures next week.

Yarrrr

It was a nice day and we couldn't help but take our little buccaneers to the park and of course by the water. Yes, today was talk like a pirate day...yarrr. We've been working on getting them to hold our hand while walking in public. If they don't hold our hand they get carried. Their response was if, if you are going to hold my hand I'm going to sit. Two of them sat half way across the bridge so we had the third sit and hoped to get a picture of all three. The following pictures are what we ended up with.

The Floor

Image
For some reason it is just so much fun to throw food on the floor... The babies have gotten really bad over the last few days about throwing food on the floor. They will scoop up huge hand fulls of food and just chuck it. The other day I came up with a solution that seemed to work, I gave them spoons. I helped them put food on the spoon and get it into their mouths. Ethan was even picking up food and placing it on his spoon and tried to get it into his mouth. I just hope the novelty of the spoon doesn't wear off too soon, Missy (our dog) is getting a little chunky. Ethan Logan Leah
