1st haircut etc.

Geez, it's been awhile since I have posted. Life sorta takes over that way. We have been so crazy busy - we recently decided to move bc we found another house that we love. So we put in an offer on that one and are in the process of putting our current house on the market. It's been a grueling, tiring process trying to de-clutter all our clutter and get it ready to show. But it will be worth it if this all works out and we get this other house.

The "new" house is a lot bigger - 4 bedrooms, a HUGE ktichen (the kind I can just envision all our family/friends and even AJ's friends as he gets older hangin out in) and a back yard that would be any kid's delight - complete with a huge playset and a 2-story treehouse. Oh how we can see Aj loving that! But who knows if it'll work out. It may seem strange but the whole adoption process has really taught me that what is meant to be will be. So we'll do what we have to in order to try to make th emove happen, but in the end, we will get what we are suppose to get.

So that's why we've been so busy. But today AJ had a BIG day - he went to a salon and got his 1st official haircut. I say 1st "official" bc there was one time that I just clipped away some of his bangs, but we don't count that as an actual haircut. I said today was a big day for AJ, but it was a big day for me,too - maybe even more. I have been fighting Jay's requests to get AJ's haircut for a long time now. I just love the curls in the back and didn't wanna lose them. But nevertheless, it was getting too long. So I caved and decided it was time. The hair dresser did a good job at cleaning his do up, but not totally chopping it. Still, I can't help but thinks he looks more like a big boy and less like my baby!

So here is the before, during and after shots:
