18 Months and Counting

We took 18 month pictures the other day. Overall I think they went pretty well.

Hair Cut #1

Caden's bangs had gotten way too long. They were in his eyes, and they were starting to bother him. It was time to at least trim the bangs. I didn't necessarily want to cut all of his hair since the curls in the back are cute. Being the person that I am I decided I could snip his bangs a little and not go through the drama of taking him somewhere and making him sit still to have his bangs cut and pay someone to snip like 3 times. So Sat. morning I decided to take on the challenge. I put him in his highchair in front of the tv with a sucker and we were good to go. He did well (not that it took very long) and it turned out better than I expected. I don't think I'll start beauty school, but I guess I can cut my kids bangs every once in a while.

Hiding / No More Pictures!

Caden has discovered that he can hide from people and this is his new fun game. He now thinks that if he covers his eyes that you can't see him. Which is not really true but cute non-the-less. So many times his hiding place consists of standing next to a piece of furniture with his eyes covered...but he's hiding. Sometimes he does better and he is actually out of immediate sight. To go along with this he has decided that he no longer wants his picture taken. As soon as he hears me turn on the camera or he sees the camera he runs to hide (which always includes covering his face). So taking pictures of him recently has been a challenge. Here is what I've captured.
