First Haircut!

Cal's days of modeling for "Hairclub for Men" are officially over...for now. He had his first real haircut (as in Mama paid $19 + tip (!!!!) I am clearly still shocked by it...and possibly his last haircut at that price...looks like I better get some safety-protected shears!)! He went with our friend Henry (JB and Alex's son, who is 4 months older than Cal) for both of their first chops.

Henry was a rock star throughout his haircut...smiling away and even posing for the camera!





Cal was....okay. I wish I timed the actual chair-time, but I would guess about 5 minutes total. He wasn't scared of the clippers, but he definitely was not into having someone up in his grill and messing with him! Here are a few pics from his experience:


Before and After...


It eventually took two women to "pin" Cal down as he was clawing at the poor lady!


Exhibit A of aforementioned discomfort


Exhibit B with both ladies in action




My favorite of the day...

Cal is now 10 1/2 months old...crawling, climbing and fake-walking everywhere (with assistance). He eats puffs and o's, but that's about all he'll accept for his culinary adventures for the moment! His favorite spot in the world is on his daddy's shoulders, getting a tall perspective of the world and playing "horsey" with daddy bouncing him around as mommy gasps in horror. :-)

"I'll Show You Who Is Boss" - Balloon Part 3

Because we are now parents, these things amuse us. Never before would I imagine posting not 1, not 2 but 3 videos on the same $4 balloon?!?!?

Boys in San Diego!

As we prepped for our big getaway to Los Cabos, the Grandmas flew in from TX and CT to take care of the boys for the weekend! We had a great time getting them settled in and ready to be on "mommy-duty" for 5 glorious days (ahhhhhh).




Riggs and Cal took a ride in the wagon Grandpa Rolf gave Riggs!


Riggs looooves to "water the plants" - so cute!


Cal got in on some of the action too...




Jon and Dave took turns helping Cal play soccer!




Daddys served the boys dinner outside....


...while Mama cooked in the kitchen!


Cal and Riggs both enjoyed corn-on-the-cob!

Grandma Tammy and Grandma Sue both arrived on Monday and started duty at 5:00am (!) on Tuesday morning!



We left today (Wednesday) for Cabo and have been enjoying nothing but quiet R&R for our first 12 hours of vacaaaaaation!
