Elijah's First Haircut!

On Wednesday mornings I go to Moms'
Group at our church. Typically, we meet in one
of three groups discussing either a Bible
study or a parenting book that we are reading.
They provide childcare so we are actually able
to have uninterrupted conversation with
little distraction! In the summer though,
we meet at local parks.

Elijah is enjoying being pushed in the swing.

"Higher, Mommy, higher!"

Elijah got to sit in a rocket for his first haircut! He really
liked his hairstylist, Nicole. She was great and amazingly
good considering Elijah was his usual wiggly self!

Nicole kept Elijah supplied with toys during his entire haircut.

I wanted her to save all the hair she cut off, but
because his hair is so fine, most of it seemed
to blow away the second she snipped. He got a nice
little first haircut certificate with some of it though. :)

We stopped by Woodland Park on the way home
from Elijah's haircut because it was snack time
and he started having a meltdown in the car.

He had so much fun riding this bouncy
motorcycle he was even hollering!

Check out this video of Elijah riding in the sidecar
of this motorcycle! He was not happy with me when
I picked him up. He has been communicating his
will quite effectively lately. It makes me a bit nervous.
The day these photos were taken he even arched his
back in protest when I took something away
from him and tried to put him in the car seat.

Elijah is pulling up using the gate now and is
quite proud of himself! He likes to stand there
and reach for the dishwasher as I load dishes in.
