A Morales Minute

I was able to hold out until Aidan was one but I knew I needed to cut his hair. It was long enough to reach his eyes! Jaime said he was growing a mullet so I knew I needed to cut it. I sat Aidan in his Bumbo and with Olivia's help, she took pics, gave Aidan snacks to occupy him and give the confidence I needed. She says that Aidan's hair looks cute. What do you think? Before the cut... I swear I didn't know he had the scissors until I was looking at these! THANKS for your help Liv. :) He was a little hesistant to have this buzzing thing near his head. He moved around quite a bit but he did alright. At least he didn't cry or scream! The finished product... It's a little shorter than I wanted. They say the difference between a bad haircut and a good one is two weeks. Hopefully it'll grow in nicely. It's not the best but it's my first time. Boys' haircuts aren't as forgiving as little girls' are that's for sure. The flaws are more noticeable...

I can hardly believe this kiddo's already one. He was hesistant about the cake. He just squished his first piece in his hand then tasted it, then ate all but three bites. He loves his new silky blanket. Definitely a blanket boy! He liked to play the "piano/xylophone" It took him awhile to be able to get his gifts open. My baby almost looks like a little boy and not so much a baby! They grow so fast. It's amazing how much I love them and how it continues to grow as they grow.

Yes, I too sent my first off to school for the first time. I knew it would be hard for me and it really was. On Friday August 28th, Lindsey had her first day of school. The night before we put her clothes out so in the morning she got dressed and was stoked to head off to school. She was so excited and looked so adorable. I took her to her class. She was a little nervous but by the end of the day when I picked her up she had so much to talk about. She loves the songs and the activities they play and her best friend is in the same class which makes the day a ton better! I did cry...but not until I got back in the car. Liv told me that she would miss Lindsey and she did! She would ask when we pick Lindsey up and things like that. My visiting teacher came and brought her kids so that helped both Liv and me make it through the day. I watched the clock tick till it was time to pick her up. Lindsey is so kind and smart and even though she's ready for school...I wouldn't mind keeping ...
