Park time on Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving Day we spent some time at the park...

Elbow.

Can you say 'Elbow'? Simon can....

No biggie - I'm awesome.

Hugs for Grandpa and Grandma Basque

Jenn is off to New York this week and Simon is spending the week with Grandpa and Grandma Basque. Like all good grandsons, he is working on getting them wrapped around his little fingers by practicing his new word: Hug. Who could possibly resist that?

Hug!

Kisses

First Haircut

Today we gave Simon his first haircut. It was great weather and we just went outside and I cut his hair. It is fair to say that he did not love it. At first he was good. Alan was holding and I was cutting and he was confused but good -- as soon as the snip started he screamed and pulled away. I wasn't expecting that so his left side is a little 90s retro shaved side look. Not what I was going for, but better... right? The back and his right side are pretty good. There were a couple pauses for hysterical tears and some snacks and snuggles with mom and stuffed animals, but we eventually got the whole head. I am surprised at how traumatized he was and how traumatized that made me. A ton of pictures to follow.

What are they doing...?

AHHHH!!! BETRAYAL!!!!!

WHAT IS GOING ON!
