A month of baby firsts

Well this month has been a big one for Avery. She received her first haircut, and now her first tooth has broken through! I had no idea, Mason was six months old before he got his first tooth! She has been drooling and chewing on things for awhile, but I just figured that she was a drool-machine just like her brother. On Friday night, Avery was just gnawing on David's finger and he felt it. It's a sharp little thing! But she has been such a little sweetie, I can tell she is not feeling too hot at times and sleeps a little more. What a trooper, it's so hard being a baby!

valentines fun

Mason had his first Valentine Party this year at preschool, so exciting! So I found all these cute Valentine printouts on this website Skip To My Lou and let him pick out which one he wanted to do, of course he picks the one with the most cutting and gluing! So I printed and cut and glued, then Mason got to help with the rest:


Assembly process


Mason wrote his name on all the valentines


Pretty Good!


Stuffing with candy


The finished product!

They turned out super cute and lots of fun for all the kids, but next year I think we will probably just do the store bought ones.

I also let him make his own Valentine cake




Looks so yummy


Who needs a fork!

First Haircut

So my little girl will be 4 months this weekend (I can't believe it), and she has already had her first haircut. Well, I don't know if I really consider this a "hair cut" it's more of a "trim", but her hair was just in her eyes all the time I had to do something!

Before


After


It is a little bit shorter than I originally intended, but she would wiggle a bit so I had to try and straighten it out more and more and more... I finally just stopped. Next time I think I will have to have Alex do it... please!

But it doesn't look so bad when I put a bow in it, and the way her hair grows it will be all back in a couple weeks anyway!
