Jack's New Do


Well I decided to try and get Jack's hair cut again. The last attempt resulted in a very unhappy kiddo and only half a hair cut. I was trying to prolong this as long as possible. Jack may have got his hair color from Daddy's family but I think he got the thickness from me. He has a ton of hair! As much as I loved running my fingers through it anytime he would sit still long enough, he was really starting to sport a baby mullet. I brought him to the barber shop on base while we were out running errands. As soon as we entered the place he started saying "bye-bye" and "all done". He watched a couple of people ahead of us get theirs cut, but as soon as it was his turn the water works started. The barber initially tried to use this Flowbee type device which was a pair of electric clippers attached to a vacuum. He learned quickly that we probably needed to switch to scissors. I even brought a lollipop hoping that would distract him enough, but he wouldn't even try to put it in his mouth. So then the lollipop just became a hair magnet, it has rather humorous. About half way through the cut he realized it wasn't so bad and actually started smiling. You have never seen a kid happier than when the barber said "all done". I thought Jack was going to kiss him. We picked most the hair off the Sugar Daddy and he was good to go. I think the hair cut is a little short, and makes him look way too old, but at least there is room for it to grow out!

Week 24


I am currently 24 weeks and still feeling really good. As you can see the belly is definitely growing. Baby H is definitely moving all around with Brian getting to feel the kicking more and more often. We are very close to picking out a name. We have two that we really like so we are trying one name this week and one name next week to see which one we like more. We are also starting plans on the nursery.

Catch Up

Sorry it has been awhile since the last time I blogged. Life has been a little busier than usual. We are trying to get some projects done on the house before the new baby gets here. These are some pictures to catch me up. The first set is from Brian's parents visit. We decided to brave the windy weather to go for a walk on the beach.







The next set of pictures are from last weekend. We had a busy day running errands and shopping in Pensacola. We decided to split up the day (for both Daddy and Jack) by heading to lunch at Dharma Blue and then to the Naval Air Museum. We had not been before and were very pleasantly surprised. It was an airplane playground for both boys. They had tons of static displays of planes, with several they could actually sit in and push buttons.

Happy New Year






We hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year! We had a great one. On New Year's Eve we went over to some friends house for a great dinner. I have to say though, this preggo didn't make it until midnight. I did make it to 11 o'clock which was about two hours later than I thought I would. Then the next day I was craving some Japanese food so we headed to our favorite, Okinawa's for some sushi and Japanese food. Jack enjoyed the rice and the tempura but wouldn't even entertain the thought of trying raw fish! We sat near the hibachi tables and Jack enjoyed the show until the fire came out!
