We bit the bullet today and took Graham to Snip-Its, a children's salon, for his first haircut. While we LOVE his beautiful curls, they were getting a little crazy! Without leave-in conditioner, painful combing, and styling product, he was getting dreadlocks! So we asked Keri, the stylist (who happens to work part-time at Graham's daycare) to leave his fluffy curls but just make it a little more manageable. Graham was not a fan of the experience (and we stupidly brought him right at nap time)...but he emerged unscathed, and looking adorable--if not a bit too much like a big boy!

Spring Update
Whew, I'm a horrible blogger! Does anyone even look at this anymore?? It's been a busy spring. My work has gotten really busy and my schedule is filling with new patients. Every day is a challenge, but I'm getting more comfortable and actually feel like I know what I am talking about every so often! Stephen and I went on a wonderful trip to Belize in February. We are grateful to Ohma and Pap Jr. for babysitting for us so we could enjoy a week away! Stephen is not only working like crazy and travelling for his job, but is also doing the grad school thing: a Master's Degree in Structural Engineering with Norwich University. I'm so proud of him!

Graham is even busier still. He is learning new words daily, and is starting to string them together. It is so fun to hear him chatter away in his crib every morning as he wakes up...and once he's awake, he never stops talking! He knows his animals (and their sounds) incredibly well, is making a lot of progress on his colors, and can even count to three. He loves to talk about all of his little friends at daycare and the various dogs and cats in the neighborhood. It is exciting to see his personality continue to develop and hear about his interests. He loves animals, tools, and dirt...isn't as interested in cars and trucks as many little boys.
And no, I haven't cut his hair yet. I just can't bring myself to do it! He is so adorable with his blond ringlets, although I know it's getting a little out of control. Any opinions on the subject are welcome!
