Ella's First Haircut

October 3, 2007
Ella got her first hair cut! As you can see, she was unfazed by the entire experience and enjoyed loking through the basket of toys. None of it bothered her. She sat patiently while they cut and mommy took pictures. She wasn't strapped into the chair or anything but stayed still the whole time. Pretty impressive!





After they cut her hair they blow dried it (why? No idea) an then sprayed hair spray on it (again, why??) that was supposed to smell like cookies. It did indeed smell sickeningly sweet. Maybe they should borrow some of Disney's patented smells for the good stuff!!


Finally they added some dorky ribbons, but the end offect was sweet, Ella's hair looks a little less scraggly but still with some curls at the ends and she was an easy kid.

She turns 2 in less than one month! Her current likes: Anything Disney (Pooh, Princesses, Mickey), choo trains, tools, cuckoo clocks, baking and cooking, playing in water, painting, coloring with crayons, play doh and animals. Any of the above elicits major enthusiasm from our Ella. She is really growing into a sweet, helpful, funny and wonderful girl. I have to say the last few monthss she has been very easy and a lot of fun. She also likes to make plans about what we will do with baby sister.


Book club weekend! All the girls were in town for bookclub this last weekend. Deirdre (6.5 months pregnant), Kelly (6.5 months pregnant), Laura, Jennie, Brandy and Karen (has an 11 week old baby, you can't tell she has recently given birth!). It was such a wonderful weekend with the girls and so far all the little book club members (the oldest is Anna who is almost 3) are girls too, and so far only more girls on the way!
