First Hair Cut

We got Meaodow's hair trimmed today. Her bangs kept getting in her eyes and she will just not tolerate any bows or clips in her hair. I never really liked anything in my hair either, so I guess I can't blame her. She did a great job with her first hair cut. No tears or tantrums or anything. The hairstylist was very impressed with the quality of her hair and didn't feel like she needed to trim anything off the back. So, after one snip she was done with her cut. I have her first little lock of hair saved for the baby book that I hope to work on at some point in my free time. Also, Meadow's first cut was free of charge. She was a real charmer at the salon. I think everyone wanted to take her home.

The pics are out of order. This is a picture of her after the cut. Isn't she getting so big?
She did a great job being patient


Also, wish us luck on our first plane ride with Meadow as an official toddler! On our last flight she was not walking yet, so it was a little easier to entertain her for the flight. We are off to see our good friend's Jerri and Mark and their new baby, Zoe. We are also introducing Meadow to Todd's Mom's side of the family. It will be so nice to see everyone and hopefully all of the traveling will go smoothly. Any advice or entertainment ideas are highly appreciated. Todd's folks gave us a portable dvd player for a really early Christmas present. Meadow loves her signing time videos, so that should entertain her for a bit. Also, for those who don't know, Meadow can sign for milk, more, eat, all done, baby, nightime, and some other interesting hand gestures that we are not quite sure if they mean anything. No, she is not flipping us off. It is exciting to see her communicating more and she is also becoming more verbal and saying pieces of words. Her favorite expression is "uh oh" and her favorite word besides mom and dad is dog.

Meadow is just SO cute!! I loved seeing her and Maddie walking around our house last weekend, and how cute that she got her bangs trimmed :)

Can't wait to see Meadow's new haircut! Today Jonah kept asking, 'Hey, where's Meadow?' I am guessing he thinks she is due for a visit. Hopefully we can find a time to meet up soon!
