more firsts

So I promised video and here it is.... Baby's first real steps, and where does he go? Right to the dog food

And now also first haircut photos too...he went from this














To this: To finally this- Look its a real boy!
This should get everyone off my back about when he is going to get a haircut! The boy has his dad's curly hair up top. Apparently it is like his grandpa Joe's (I never met the hubby's dad as he died while Hubby was in High School) and it is easy to comb into a classic Grandpa Joe pompadour. Now all he needs is a little Brylacreen and two combs in his back pocket.

Conclusion

I took the job. The clincher really was the fact that the commute to the other school, the one with the giant wall drum, is long and I'd have to get the babe up and to some sort of childcare at the butt crack of dawn; an hour of which I am not a fan.

And the babe is WALKING!! video to come

Countdown to Walking

So on monday night the babe took his first unassisted steps...he took 3 steps away from the couch, stopped and then took 3 more. Then went down on his knees to crawl the rest of the way to me.
We have not caught this on video yet, and he has yet to do it again...though he will walk the length of three houses while holding onto my pinky. I can't wait till he can walk on his own!
