Caleb's First Haircut


Caleb's first haircut at just over two years old at "Monkey Dooz" at the Canyon Crest shopping center. I admit I was a bit nervous. I hadn't planned on
giving him a haircut until the 3rd year or so. However, he was born with
longer hair in the front, so the length bothers his eyes and vision, and perhaps because his hair is so thin it was not as manageable.
I didn't want him to look too old... he had curls at the bottom, I hoped he'd somehow keep a little of that. Some of Caleb's hair was saved for taping on a "First Haircut" certificate presented to us by the hairdresser.

Immediately after his haircut, Caleb ran outside of the salon toward the landscaped-streams just to gaze at the water, the rocks, the lily pads. He also likes pulling out leaves to toss into the water - a hard habit to get him to break! Caleb's spoiled from his abundant pebble-tossing experience at the Greek beaches on Santorini island.

Pregnant mom whirling 2-year old Caleb


With this 2nd pregnancy, I don't have the luxury of relaxing and taking it easy physically. Firstborn son Caleb is such a bundle of energy, he wants to be lifted, carried, or whirled around, it makes him the happiest kid in the world with his contagious grin. Here I am, pregnant mom whirling around a 29 pound boy - the first stage of the two brothers playing together for the rest of their lives.
