The Day I Destroyed Max's Beautiful Head of Hair

I know the title of my post has lured you in...but you'll have to see a couple other photos before I get to the big story.

For starters, it's a little late coming, but none the less we must chronicle a very happy day in the Keough household...the day the Steeler's won the Super Bowl!!
We watched the Super Bowl with our friends Nicole and Eric and their son Trayce who is Max's buddy, and partner in crime.
So Miss Sadie is not taking to solid foods or bottles, but I force them on her still. She is getting better with foods...but her favorite thing to do is spit, even when she eats. It is SUCH a mess feeding her!
And when I'm preoccupied with her at dinner and Aaron is out of town, this is what Max ends up looking like after he eats because I have to let him feed himself. Both go directly into the bath!
Max finally likes being in a play pin.
I had to take it down because my idea of giving her a safe space away from Max was counter productive. With a play pin up they both ended up together in a smaller space where Max could cause maximum damage. This is his "I really want to sit on Sadie but know I shouldn't" look.
Those eyes are going to give her Daddy grief one day I think. So beautiful!
Always a finger in the mouth!
Gotta love the California sunsets, although a photo never does them justice.



So...Saturday morning I was cutting Max and Aaron's hair. Aaron's is pretty easy and I usually do a good job. I've only done Max's one other time, and it was pretty good and I was sure I would get even better with practice. But there will NEVER be a practice session again...because this time my hand slipped and, well, although we tried it was unrepairable. Aaron finally said, "I think we need to just buzz it all to fix it". I had tears in my eyes and handed him the clippers because I couldn't bear doing it. I have always loved how much hair Max has and the cute little part in it. Now we have the following...





Still cute though!! He looks older now. Aaron calls him is little monk now. If this cut doesn't make the two of them look more alike...:) Here they are playing Wii.

So at first I made him wear a hat all the time (this hat and his Morehead hat are his favorites). It's starting to grow on me though. I'm even contemplating letting it grow but keeping it buzzed longer...who knows. This for sure is a little too short. Sometimes he looks bald. I think it was just quite a shock to me because never in his life has he had hair so short. He was born with so much hair. Luckily it will have grown out by his 2nd birthday in April for his pictures! :) He's still so cute though. We went to the park today with all the cousins and family and he gets right in there playing football with the older boys and even tackles them to the ground sometimes!
