First Real Haircut!

Well, Katie has finished her 3 classes for the semester and is transitioning to a saner life. I am in the home stretch of my quarter of classes--just 5 lectures left. Finn is growing up quickly, saying many words, like "towel, squirrel, and Obama." Actually squirrel is really "squee" and Obama is "Bama." We have a poster of him in the kitchen. When things aren't going his way, he will freely let out a very whiny kind of "Noooooooh."

Finn's hair has been growing longer, and Katie has twice cut the longest stuff in the back. But we decided today that he needed his first real haircut. Looks pretty rough around the edges, huh?

Finn sat on my lap and did pretty well. There was another young boy who was a screaming mess just 10 feet from us, but Finn kept his cool. He wanted no part of plastic bib, but only once did he reach his hand up to feel what was going on up there. Perhaps they key was the LCD screen showing the movie Mulan. Here is a good video of the operation.

Here he is sans shirt after he finished up. Doesn't he look all grown up?! Like a real little boy.

It looks like summer is officially here. A few days have hit over 90, which is quite a bit higher than the background low 70s. Since the pool party at the Kearney Heidgerken's last weekend, he's been splashing all over in the bathtub, so we decided to get him his own little outside plastic tub. You'd be amazed how hard it is to find one of those, but finally Toys 'R Us came through for us. Tomorrow we'll put the water in! He's ready.
