First Haircut

Ayden’s hair was getting pretty long and I was trying to hold out cutting it as long as I could before his birthday. So, on Saturday Bob and I took Ayden to a kids hair cut place. He sat in this little yellow sports car and was very good while the lady cut his hair. He reached up a couple of times to get her hands away from his head, but there were no complaints and he did a great job. It took less than 5 minutes to get the job done, but WHAT a DIFFERENCE. He looks so cute. They gave us a certificate for Ayden’s first haircut and also gave us some of his LONG hair to keep for his baby book.

There are a couple new things that Ayden is doing now. Besides walking all over the place, he loves to say hi to everyone. Whenever we go out anywhere, he picks up his hand to wave and says “Hi”. It is so cute. We were in the grocery store yesterday and Ayden just sat in the cart and basically waved his little hand up and down the whole time. As soon as someone came near him, he would say HI, really loud. Big crowd pleaser as he made many new friends. At least it kept him occupied and allowed mommy to shop.
Ayden also started shaking hands. When I came home from work the other day, Bob called him over and said “Ayden, can you shake my hand?” He reached out his hand to Bob’s, shook it up and down, and laughed. I love this kid!
Here are some new words Ayden is saying:
Deer (every time he looks out our window, he points and says deer…most of the time they are there)
Dirty (he will usually say this when he sees the dogs toys)
Stinky (so funny to hear him say this – he will say this to people’s feet and shoes lying around)
Turkey (he has a toy food set with a microwave at Bob’s parents house …if you ask him, he will put the turkey in the microwave to cook and then take it out and eat it. He will then give it to you to eat as well.)

He definitely is getting to the stage where he really tries to say what you are saying. It may not come out the same way, but at least he is trying.
Here are some new pics of Ayden:

Ayden also can tell you No in his own cute way.
