First Haircut

I finally did it.  I cut Heber's hair.  It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done.  Okay, maybe not, but it was like Heber went from being the baby to being the older brother.  I suppose it had to happen since he is not the baby anymore.  Still, it was hard to make that first cut and after that I knew I had to finish.  I know my cutting job is not the greatest and I will probably try and clean it up some more, but I think I did okay. 

Here are the before pictures...

...and here are the after pictures.

I'm all grown up!

Here are some pictures of Gideon and Eliza, just for fun.

Two Weeks Old

So, I was sitting and thinking today and realized that it was September 12.  Nothing really fancy or special about today, except for one thing.  Today is Gideon's due date!  Today was the scheduled day that he was supposed to come, the day that I would find out if we were having a boy or a girl.  Instead, we got to find out two weeks ago and have loved having Gideon with us.  He is such a sweet little guy and I love him to death.  So do Eliza and Heber, which means I have to keep an eye on them, for Gideon's sake.  Gideon is sleeping well, starting to stay awake more during the day, and is on a consistant four hour eating schedule.  The one thing I look forward to at this point, when Gideon decides to start sleeping through the night.  That would be heavenly!  Until then, I will dream of that day and continue the crossword puzzles to keep me somewhat alert while I feed him at night.  Wish me luck!

Scott's foot...yeah, really bad sprain playing volleyball.

And just for fun, here are some pictures of all three kids when they were about two weeks old.  Take your guess as to which picture is which kid.  Then I'll give the answer at the bottom.  Good luck.  I find it amazing how closely they all look alike.
