Snip! Snip!

Well, we finally did it! I loved Gage's curls, but his hair grew so much faster in the back and on the sides than the top, that he was beginning to have a mullet! He did sooo much better than I thought he would. There were only a couple of times he looked like he might cry, but Ryan held his hand, and he was fine. Afterward - ice cream!
I do miss those beautiful curls he had in back.

The first two pics are the before shots.

Easter Fun

We had a very fun Easter. Last year was great, but this year was even better because Gage was able to do an Easter egg hunt and dye eggs and really participate. Also, since last Easter we have joined a church, so the service was special. For Easter dinner we went to my mother's house.
Here's the Easter Bunny visit at the mall. I had bought cookies to bribe him into sitting with the bunny, but we didn't need them - he loved it!

And this was the egg hunt. He caught on pretty quickly. When all the eggs were gone, he looked around like, 'Hey, I wasn't done yet!'.

The egg dying was hilarious, if not messy. He was fascinated with how the eggs changed color. It's fun to watch him to try figure things out. Unfortunately, I heard him call the eggs, "ball", just before he started hurling them around!


Getting reading for church....Daddy was having fun with Gage's long locks... We call this his Sanjaya look. Those of you who watch American Idol will understand.

At church...

Wild Man

Gage is in daycare three days a week, and at the end of each of those days we get a little report. Here's the report from Wednesday. Check out the part I highlighted. I have a feeling the next 17 years are going to be quite a ride!

Like Father, Like Son

Gage sure loves his Daddy, and even at this young age, he wants to copy everything he does. Ryan took him outside to play the other day, and when I looked out, this is what I saw. It doesn't get much cuter than that!
