November

Hard to believe we're already in November. Seems like it was just July. The heat is still prominent so it might as well be July... Actually this morning the weather cooperated just a bit with the season so it should be nice for a little while at least! We've had a few things happen over the past couple of weeks. Jack got his first real haircut. (I trimmed it up a bit here and there but since he didn't have much hair when we first came home, it took a while for it to finally need shaping!) His Aunt Sarah did a wonderful job at the salon and Jack did pretty good too!
We also had a visit from my brother's family and Jack got to spend several days with his cousins who were ages 4, 3 and 2. They also have a 3 month old who Jack loves to talk about but she wasn't up for playing with him just yet! :)
Let's see. We took a short trip to Downtown Disney (free outdoor mall with restaurants and theaters) where Jack got to walk around and see all the shops, including the Lego store and the Harley shop. He also rode the merry-go-round and didn't get too dizzy. :)
Jack has also had his first real fever since he came to us. Made me very uncomfortable but he's doing much better and is still as busy as ever!

That's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well at the start of these busy holiday months.

Jack looks like he handled getting his first haircut well and is adorable hugging his cousin! Isn’t it something how a first haircut changes a child’s looks?

The Harley and merry-go-round photos are precious! Thanks for bringing us up-to-date on your son!

Yes, it does look like Jack handled his hair cut really well. This is true, that a hair cut does change a person's look. He doesn't look like a little baby anymore, but a little boy. He does look like he is having up on the merry-go-round, and on the Harley bike.

Jack is a great hugger.. I hugged him when I saw him last weekend, visiting.. He is a happy child and loves to run around and play..
