Hadley's First Haircut

It finally happened.  At the age of nearly 2.25 years old, Hadley had her first haircut.  I'm hoping this will help with the tangled, crazy ridge of hair on the back of her head and promote faster hair growth.  :) There wasn't much to work with, but I think she did a good job!  Owen's first cut, for comparison.

Before (stringy mullet):

During (very serious!):

After (chic bob):

She continues to impress me with her mimicry and increasing vocabulary on a daily basis. Some favorites: "Finish your dinner, Owen!"; "Night, Mom.";  "What doing?"; "1, 2, 7, 8, 1, 2, My Tuhn!"; "Ni-Nah-No" - I don't know; "I offa coat" - Help me take this coat off; "Daddy Buh-bye, See soon!"; (She may confuse this as his name, since that's what we say every work morning.) Sometimes I catch her making up her own songs.  And here's another one in the works - the alphabet. 

She is still a good climber, though she is developing some fear about halfway up the rainbow bars on the playground.  I just have to shadow her and she'll go the rest of the way. As I mentioned before, she likes to take a spin on the Strider bike by herself and put on a cool helmet like her brother.

She will also request music to dance to, so she is currently enrolled in Kindermusik.  I was blown away with how well she pays attention and participates in class.  I seem to remember her brother was mostly looking out the window or trying to open the locked cabinets half the time.  Don't know if that's a personality or gender thing, but it's fun!
