Holden's First Haircut

Holden's hair finally reached the point of shagginess that required a haircut. My other two boys were so good for their first haircuts, but I had the sneaking suspicion that Holden wasn't going to be quite so easy. I was right! Talk about screaming! He did not like it at all. In fact, it took him a half hour after to quit sobbing. Poor kid. The things we do to our kids! It made for some cute pictures, though. You can see he was a little curious at first, but soon realized he didn't like it. I ended up having to hold his head still for the barber. Not an easy task with a thrashing toddler! I was so frazzled I even forgot to grab some of his hair! He sure looks like a handsome little guy now!

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken in August and it was quite the adventure. Jensen (my usual good smiler) decided to pull weird faces in all the group pictures. And Holden did not like family pictures at all. We gave up trying to get any of him smiling. But of course he smiled and giggled all the way home. Little Stinker! Despite all the craziness, I loved catching this moment in time!

Holden's First Steps

Holden has been taking steps all over for the last couple of days and he is so proud of himself. We are so happy, but so sad, too. Every milestone of his will be a last for our family, but that's okay. We're excited to see what the future holds for us. And we're so happy to have him in our lives!
