Christian's first steps

Christian took his first steps today!!!! He has been cruising on furniture for a while now and would take maybe one or two small steps but that was all. I guess this morning he woke up and thought I think I'll try to walk today. It was so cute. I missed the first steps but here are two videos of him later that morning.

Clap, clap, clap your hands

On Thursday, September 25, Christian clapped his hands for the first time. He was sitting in his car seat and we had some kiddy music playing and he clapped his hands once, realized what he had done, and decided to do it over and over again. Now if we sing "If you're happy and you know it" he will start clapping. Here is a video of him clapping his hands.

Christian's artwork

So I picked up Christian from daycare this afternoon and his teacher Miss Laura, gave me something that Christian made(with help of course). She was going to use it to decorate the september bulletin board but because of the hurricane Christian missed a lot of school and now the month is almost over. Oh well, now it can decorate my house. Isn't it cute?! I think it's a catepillar...maybe. Either way his hands are teeny tiny and I'm lovin it!!! I think he is the next picasso...LoL

Christian's First Hair Cut

So today was a special day. After spending countless nights struggling to dry Christian's unbelievably thick hair, spending countless mornings attempting to untangle his sticky food filled hair, and spending countless days combing his bangs out of his eyes, we finally decided that Christian was in desperate need of a haircut. Contrary to popular belief, we were not trying to grow Christian's hair out so he could look like one of the Beatles. He was just born with sooooo much hair and after our last little home haircut fiasco where blood was drawn(so sad), we were a little scared to do it ourselves. But it had to be done(we didn't want him to end up looking like cousin "It" from the Adams Family, so we took him to this really great place called "Cool Cuts" They have all sorts of neat stuff to keep the kids entertained while getting their hair cut. Christian really like the car chairs that they had. He did not however appreciate having water sprayed on his head or the sounds of the clippers as he was edged up. He did cry a little, but the stylist was fast and it was over before you could say "Christian Alexander the Great". He looks so cut with his new hair cute, doesn't he?!

The before shot, Christian in desperate need of a haircut!
