Carson's First Hair Cut

On September 19, 2010 we took Carson for his very first hair cut. This was a moment that I was putting aside for quite some time now. I did not want to accept the fact that my little angel was turning into a little boy. We took him to Contour Day Spa where Donna Oz works. This was a very sentimental moment for us. Donna Oz gave Geoffrey his first hair cut 29 years ago and also was Michelle's (Geoffrey's mom) stylist for over 30 years.

He did very well during the entire haircutting experience. No tears, no whining, no fussing. He contently sat there and let Donna trim away the ends of his baby hair. His facial expressions were priceless as he watched her grab different scissors and the blow dryer. She never used the clippers which was nice. I was sure that would have sent him into a crying frenzy.

He sat in Daddy's lap and Donna just trimmed away. 29 years ago Geoffrey sat in that chair and now his son is sitting in his lap. It's not very often that you get your first hair cut by the same person that cut your parent's hair. I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Without further ado, I present to you the little boy who is just about 2 weeks shy of his first birthday. I was sad to see his crazy wings go and the wild man hair, but he looks so incredibly handsome and grown up. It's amazing what a little trimming will do.

Can't believe it. 4 more weeks and my Angel will be 1 year old. Well actually now 3 more weeks, it has taken me an entire week to get on the computer just to write his blog. There just isn't enough time in the day.

We didn't have a check up this month, so I do not know Carson's height or weight. However, Carson did battle a week long cold and a 102 fever which brought us to the doctor. He is all better now and trucking along.

We didn't do too much this month. Seemed like this was the first month since Carson was born that we stayed home the entire month.

Now adays, Carson is babbling away, talking up a storm. His words that are now a constant:

Dada, Fish, Dies (Diesel), baawl (ball), Duck, Pach (Apache, Cathy's cat), baaaa (at the balloons) and No. Still no Mama.

Yes folks, the child has learned the word NO. I was sitting in his room and Diesel was getting in the way and I said "No Diesel" while pointing my finger. Clear as day.... I look at him and he pointed to Diesel and said NO! I in turned screamed in shock at this and couldn't believe my ears. What also shocks me is when I tell him NO when he is doing something he shouldn't be, he laughs and does it again.

Ball is probably his favorite word. He loves throwing the tennis ball for Diesel, he think it is such a riot. He likes to sit on the floor with you and pass the ball back and forth.

Carson is eating more and more people/finger food. Mommy is cooking alot more these days, thanks to my cousin Caroline. :) She is helping me alot and I am so thankful and so is Geoff. ha!!

Carson is still pulling up on everything. He takes more and more steps alone everyday. He pushes his truck all over the house. The other day, I took his truck outside and let him push it around. I should have titled the video, "Darn shoes", after watching the video, you will see. Below is the link:

Labor Day we went to my cousin Debbie's house for dinner. My dad's entire family was there and we had a nice visit with cousins, Shelly and Nick who came in from Pittsburgh.

Now our biggest thing is tying together the loose ends for Carson's big birthday bash. I have been planning his birthday probably since he was born. If you think I'm kidding, I'm not. I saved links here and there, wrote down ideas. I have been waiting for this day and it is unbelievable to me that it is just a few weeks away. How did this happen, how did it go by so incredibly fast. It seems like just yesterday he was just this little guy who curled up on my shoulder with his legs tucked in. I love my little Angel, so hard to believe he is not going to be a baby anymore but a little boy.

By my next blog post, Baby Sophia South will be here. We are sooooo excited to meet her. Good luck to the Mommy and Daddy to be, April and Billy, who are very close friends of ours who we love dearly. Your in our prayers for a safe, quick and painless labor. ha!! painless.. haha.. Just kidding April, your going to do great. I have so much faith in you!! xoxo

And as the dr said when we left.. See you at the 12 months!!!! <==Augh!!!
