I Did It

It's been driving me nuts for a while now, and yesterday I finally decided to do something about it. Now, some of you will think that what I've done is a crime, but that's okay because look how cute he is now:

 Haircut boy

 Look, no more scraggly hair!

It's not the most even haircut, since he's worn off his hair unevenly and since it's REALLY HARD to cut a 4-month-old's hair AND make sure nobody gets stabbed in the eye with scissors. Don't worry, babe was not in any danger. Shawn, on the other hand, felt the need to get some distance between the scissors and his eyeballs more than once. But, I say again, everyone is fine. Although I miss Jackson's little baby scraggles already *sniff*.

What else is new this week? I tried babe in the backpack carrier, and he loved it!

 Whee! I'm lookin' at stuff!

 He had a ton of fun in there, and I got to do a bit of picking-up, although nothing that involved bending over. That backpack carrier is really comfortable! But I need to look up when it's safe to put them in there, I seem to recall reading somewhere that they're not supposed to get carried on your back until they're a year old. I imagine it has to do with how developed their little skulls and spines are and what happens if you happen to trip and fall with them on. So I won't be using the backpack again until I know more about it.

So I know this isn't news, but babe continues to be really really long. Here's a picture for perspective:

Look at me, I'm too long for the playpen this way now!

I know, the picture's dark, I'm still getting used to my camera. But his head is touching the other side of his playpen. And that's a 12 month sleeper he's in. Cathie was saying that Uncle Evan was like that as a baby too, and he's around 6'4", I think. Looks like I'll be yelling up at my teenager ;)
