My first attempt at cutting hair

I decided that I wanted to try and start cutting Evan's hair since it is so expensive to have it done professionally. So a while back I purchased some hair clippers with colored attachments. I used it about two months ago just to trim around his ears, but today I went for it. I must say I was very scared to do it, but I don't think it turned out too bad. A little short in the front, but it will always grow back.

Evan, the polite young man

Yesterday we went out to eat at Joe's Pizzeria to support the woman's group from our church. We ran into quite a few people, one person was Ms. Martha. She hadn't seen the kids in a long while, so she sat with us and chatted for a bit. I introduced her to Paul, whom she never met, they shook hands and said hello. Then a few seconds later Evan spoke up - Excuse me, my name is Evan, then he extended his hand for a shake as well. It took me everything to not burst out laughing. It was just the cutest thing and he is such a gentleman, sometimes anyway.

Joni is ten months

WOW how time flies, I can't believe it has been ten months already.

My how much she has changed in those ten months. She doesn't even look like the same person. She is "talking" a lot, mostly da da da and a few ma ma mas in there. I also think she is trying to say kitty cat. She loves to eat and has tried everything I have put in front of her, which is totally the opposite from Evan. I hope she stays that way, it is so much easier.

She hasn't learned to crawl yet, at least not forward. She does the military crawl in reverse and gets mad when she gets stuck, which is a lot in this little house. She does love to walk, holding onto my hands.

Joni's Hair

Joni has had so much hair since she was born, I finally decided to see what it would look like in a ponytail. So here it is - sooo cute!

Joni eating

Joni is going to be a much better eater than Evan, I think. Every time that mommy is eating something she starts screaming at me if I don't give her some. There are things I will let her try but others I am holding off until after she is a year. So far the only thing she isn't too crazy about was pasta, I think it was too cold. Here she is having her first real breakfast food, small pancakes that I made for her. She gobbled them up in a heartbeat.

Joni's 1st Valentine's Day and Evan's 1st as a big brother

Here are some pics I took today. It sure was a process, but hope you enjoy!
