Threat Level Midnight: First Haircut

He's needed it for a while, but this weekend we finally took Levi in to get his first haircut. Luckily it didn't take long to get an appointment at the prestigious Mason Barber Shop with Grandpa Terry. Things didn't start off too well as Levi started crying almost immediately after entering the barber shop. Once he got in the chair he seemed more interested in the ceiling fan than what was going on around him, and he did pretty well. By the end of the afternoon Levi and I both had haircuts and were looking good. Looks like he is going to take after dad with fast-growing hair, so we'll probably be making frequent visits to the barbershop.

Once Levi started rocking the mullet, we thought it was time for a haircut.

He was supposed to be looking down, but he couldn't take his eyes off the ceiling fan.

Not a bad looking kid!

Grandpa Terry enjoyed giving Levi his first haircut.

Afterward Dad and son were all smiles and lookin' good.

In addition to the haircut milestone, Levi has started some other new things. He started eating vegetables this week. Mom decided on peas since they are one of her favorites (and one of dad's least faves). He didn't seem to like them at first, but by the end of the week was wolfing them down. This kid loves to eat! We also learned that he has been feeding himself his own bottle at daycare for a while now. On Valentine's Day, after his haircut, Grandma and Grandpa Chapin came and watched Levi while Courtney and I spent the day shopping and going out to dinner with our life group from church. He did pretty well for a while, until he woke up from his nap and freaked out because mom and dad weren't around. He's still not over the whole "stranger anxiety" thing I guess.

So each week brings new discoveries and milestones. What will this week bring? Stay tuned...
