Baby's first haircut


Hair before and after
Originally uploaded by Jen.

Jordan is done with her baby mullet. Today her Poppy trimmed her hair for the first time. She was pretty darn good sitting on my lap, eating cheesy bunnies. She was so good! The funny thing is her thin hair… It’s so fine that it was hard to collect a little memory for her baby book. You know, the baby book that I haven’t really done a thing with.

Jordan enjoyed a visit with her Grandma and Poppy… Showing off her smiles and desire to move all over the place. She’s doing a few fun things — When she smiles at things she thinks is fun, she strikes a smirky smile where she kind of bites her lip and crunches up her nose. She’s also tackling things. She and I were rolling a ball between us. Almost every time I rolled the ball past her a bit too far, she’ll throw her entire body on top of the ball. Apparently she tackled the pug just like that. I also watched her try to roll a hot wheels car across the floor just like her brother. She pushes the car as far as she can until she falls down. Then she sits back up and does it again. It’s sweet… And kind of sad at the same time. I never thought how challenging it will be to have car races along the floor with her brother. She’ll find a way. I know she will.

And the biggest developmental moment of the day: She pulled herself up from the living room into the hallway. It’s a tiny step up but I and her therapists haven’t been able to get her up. Today she did it! All she needed was the right moment. I was so proud and gave her a HUGE hug.
