Adventures at the Barber Shop...

Since Oliver started looking like this in the mornings and after naps we decided it was time for that first haircut.

We took him up to Bob's usual barber...in an actual BARBER shop...with old men sleeping while they wait their turn and everything. He sat up in the chair like a big boy, he didn't even really mind when he got covered up with the sheet thing...

He did cry a little bit toward the end, but I think it was only because he doesn't like sitting still that long.
Here is the final picture before he got down. He looks like a little boy! He really did so well - the barber used scissors and the clipper things that buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Oliver liked the buzz in his ear when he trimmed around there. When we were done we snatched up some pieces of hair for his book. The barber gave us a certificate for Oliver's first haircut. I almost cried!
Here is the picture of him after we brushed it like he usually wears it. Isn't he cute?!?!

messy face pic...and...

Oliver was eating gruel with blueberries and cherries in it. He made such a messy face that I just had to snap this picture. Isn't he the cutest?!
Then of course we tried drinking from a REAL cup. Thank you Aunt Rachael and Uncle Dave for giving him this froggie cup. He did really well as long as there was just one sip in it. I guess that's how we all start out. We're working on this every lunch and dinner now, but he really did so well on the first try!
mmmmmmm, milk!

mmmmm cookies!

Bob got Oliver some cookies that he can hold and eat all by himself. What that means is that he can't stick the whole thing in his mouth at one time!


He likes them a LOT. When we first give it to him he holds it and just smiles at it and talks to it. "Hello, cookie, I'm Oliver. I'll be eating you today." hehehehe

I love this color on him! These turtlenecks are so cute - and only 3.99 at Target. He looks so adorable. What a cute face!
