Hair cut

Josh had all this wispy hair around his ears and I've been toying with the idea for a while now of trimming it. In this pic from about a week ago you can see it around his left ear. Well, I've come to the realization that it's not getting any shorter! I also think that a little trim could promote thicker hair coming in. Over the past couple of months, I'd say since September or so, his hair has been growing in more and more. But it still seems that it's s-l-o-w-l-y coming in.


So on Sunday evening, I cut just a little bit around his ears! It's amazing that now, without those few little blond, wispy hairs can make, he can appear so much older! He's losing his "baby-ness".



and 'cuz he's so cute--here's one from tonight when he first got in the tub (though, obviously I had not washed his face yet!) He loves bathtime!

I also have the cutest video to add to the blog, but I haven't even downloaded it to my computer yet. In it, Josh shows off so many of his new cute baby tricks. He says some words (I can't remember which ones exactly), claps his hands, and shakes his head "no". At first he was shaking his head "yes" but as soon as he learned "no" he has not stopped with the "no"! The hand-clapping is new--he started it by doing it on his own, but we've reinforced it by singing "if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands" and he even knows all the right places to clap in the song. He's also doing fabulous with his walking and talking. Some of his favorite new words are "kix" (as in the cereal), cheers (we were toasting each other with our toast), and cheese. He also does this really cute thing where he walks/crawls for the stairs then pauses, yells "da!" and then waits for Dave to look at him before scurrying up the stairs. Ahh, so many heart-warming moments lately... I could go on and on for hours. I love this kid!
