Recipe for Disaster

1 ornery baby who's cutting eye teeth
1 hairdo that needs trimming
1 pair of scissors
1 determined Mommy
1 exasperated Daddy

equals...

a very cute haircut.

I needed my bangs cut. As Mama T. would say, "get your hair out of your eyes". So Mommy and Daddy got hair cutting scissors from Target. Daddy tried while Mommy was out, but that was a no-go. I was VERY ornery from all accounts. So Mommy gave it a whirl when she got home. It's not like she's going to win any beautician awards, but it's not too shabby. Good job Mommy - you'll get better with practice.

here's the before picture...



here I am with my new hairdo reading a letter from Paka.



I know, no great shakes, but atleast it's not in my eyes anymore.

In other news, because I am STILL cutting my eye teeth (yes, for like 2 months now), I haven't been napping very well. Friday, Sunday, and Monday I didn't nap at all. I still had my "quiet" time in my room, but no sleeping. Normally, I sleep for 3 hours. Needless to say, Mommy and Daddy have REALLY been enjoying this. Finally, they're giving me some orajel and baby tylenol, and that seems to be helping a little bit. We'll see.

I'm still doing a lot of walking with the walker toy - go me! It shouldn't be long now. I'm trying to walk independently before Grammy and Paka come in a couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to their visit - I've got lots of new skills to show them.
