The SPOON

Lily now insists on using her spoon at every meal.  She hasn't been able to actually get any food to stay on it yet but she is definitely giving it the old college try.

 Gotta love babies and spaghetti faces!

The bowl and spoon make a great percussion instrument!

LOVE this messy face!

Locks of Love

Maddie has been wanting to cut her hair for Locks of Love for quite a while.  I have been the one dragging my feet.  None of the girls have had their hair cut short since they were very very young and I just wasn't sure I was ready for this!!  But I finally relented, took the requisite before photos, and off we went.

 In the chair -- note all the missing upper front teeth!  I gave her one last chance to change her mind.  I think I secretly hoped she would.  But she stayed steadfast in her decision.

 The first big chop!

One very THRILLED little girl!

Yes, there were a couple of teeny tiny little mommy tears during the process.  But I gotta admit that she looks pretty darn cute in her new short do.  And hair always grows again, right?
