First Haircut

Sydney got a haircut! It took weeks of relentless nagging until Jason finally broke down and "let me" cut Sydney's hair. He still hasn't forgiven me for cutting her bangs when she was a baby, (ok, so they were a little crooked).
My knees were shaking after I made the first cut! There was no turning back.
But it turned out exactly how I wanted. Phew!

At home, you will often hear coming from one room or another, "Sydney, what comes after Alabama?" "Sydney, you may not have that." "Sydney, please put that back" and "Do you need to wee wee?"

And ... "Daddy, can you do this?" "Mommy, you have a booboo" (pointing to my beauty spot). "I pooted!" "Oh no, what happened?" "What happened? Help meee" and my favorite (because of how precisely she says it), "I can't reach it".

... and 4 pounds heavier! Every time we calculate how much to put in Max's bottle, he has a growth spurt, and we have to do it again.
He's starting smiling and coo-ing, and is very close to sleeping all night without needing to eat. Big sister Sydney calls him Maxey, and is very affectionate toward him, despite exhibiting a little jealousy occasionally.
