Snip snip

We put off cutting Jason's hair for almost sixteen months, but he finally reached embarrassingly shaggy levels. So today, I took him to Snip Its for his very first haircut.

Our shaggy dog.

Snip Its offered a first haircut special, complete with a lock of hair, a certificate of bravery, and before and after pictures. Thanks Snip Its, but I can take my own pictures and Jason would just rip up the certificate. The lady who cut his hair gave me a piece of it in a little bag anyway. I'm not really sure what to do with it, so it's still in his diaper bag. 

Waiting for his turn. 

Jason was so well behaved! He didn't fuss or fidget at all. 

He's our little gentleman again!

Slightly disheveled after taking a nap, but he's still our handsome monkey!

It's been a while

Getting up at 4:30 every day, working, commuting, having a 16-month old, and growing a tiny human means that most days I am barely able to keep my eyes open past 8 pm, let alone update the monkey's blog. Sorry Jason!

At Jason's 15-month appointment, he got three vaccines. This left him quite miffed. He is following the growth curve quite consistently. Jason also had an appointment with a pediatric urologist to deal with a minor issue left over from his first hernia surgery, but fortunately he was give a thumbs up for that region. Well done, Jason! 

This is our normal, happy Jason.

This is Jason all day long after getting his shots.

After trying literally everything to cheer him up, Mommy found a Mother Goose show on PBS and gave the little patient a snack. All better!

Jason took his second annual trip to the Stormville Flea Market. He watched us buy a priceless piece of art for Babci's garden (a $20 metal rooster).

Our little daredevil learned how to climb onto the couches by himself, although he still hasn't mastered the art of getting down in a way that won't cause injury.

It's way past my bedtime and I'm getting delirious. Good night!
