Lillian got her first haircut! We went to Rock Candy (on Lincoln) and she had Bailey (who used to cut Simon's hair) cut her hair for the first time. After requesting her own comb, which she clung to the entire haircut, she stared in awe in the mirror as Bailey cut her hair. She was awesome the whole time. She has been really into helping me brush my hair since then.
She looks great and I'm looking forward to seeing how her hair grows now that we trimmed off some of the baby fuzz.
Before picture.
This was her expression the entire hair cut. She didn't move the whole time.
Looking at the hair Bailey cut and then blowing it away.
Almost done and finally getting a bit antsy.
Finished back of her hair.
Trying to get a picture of her front, she was a bit uncertain.
note that she allowed the comb to be swapped, but she still needed one.
At home with a book I got a side view.
And a front view of her new doo - all cleaned up on the sides.
I think this is my first post in the Basque Family Blog! Better late than never :) It is safe to say that the Basque family is a Cubs family. Here Lillian shows her Cubbies spirit. (She is saying "Go Cubs go!!!")
The laundry basket is Baby's crib and the diaper is Baby's blanket. At the end she says This is Lillian. I love how she says her name right now - all the Ls are Ws.
Baby Sarah - usually just shortened to Baby - has been a very integral part of Lillian's life lately. Baby cries and is hungry and often gets snuggled and put to bed. Lately she has started crawling and walking. Today she was playing me a song on the piano.
Auntie Colleen, Emily, Simon and Lillian went to Apple Holler again this year. It was probably the best trip yet. Not that it wasn't fun before, but both kids were so very into it this year and we got to stay a little longer (skipping nap) and as a result got to see a whole section of the place that we hadn't seen before. Lillian recognized the goats as goats (last year she thought they were dogs) and loved that they licked food off her hand. We saw a pregnant goat - when Simon tells the story he clarifies that while the baby goat was in the mama goat's belly, she did not eat him. Simon led us through a corn maze, both kids road a pony, we saw muddy pigs and mostly clean chickens, rode in an open wagon, listened to musicians, and the we even picked apples (a bit).
