First Haircut

What a week for firsts! I gave Alexander his first haircut this week and he looks like a different guy. He slept right through the whole thing.

Xander's First Steps

Okay, these aren't EXACTLY his first steps - we were too excited to film those. These are probably his 19th+ steps.

I love that smile on his face - SO happy and proud of himself. (Plus, he'd just finished playing with his big sister's princess paper dolls while she was in bed and couldn't stop him.)

A very good night for my little guy.

What (Not) to Wear

#1 - We are going to Europe in just over 2 weeks!

#2 - We are taking the kids! :)

We are so fortunate to have family in Belgium and London that have offered to host us for a few days. I can't believe how fast our trip is coming up. I still haven't figured out what to pack, but I do know I'm not letting Olivia choose.

Here are some of the outfits she's put together lately:




She walked out one morning wearing that last outfit and asked me what shoes she should wear. I figured it couldn't get much worse, so I told her she could wear any of her shoes she wanted.

Silly me.


Yes, those are Cinderella's glass slippers.
