a day out

For some reason, one of my biggest pet peeves is when Asher's hair gets too long.  I never thought that I'd care very much either way, but with him I love a short haircut.  When his hair gets too long it hangs in his face and just doesn't look as cute!

Remember this little hairy monster?  ha!

I noticed last week that it was getting close to time for another cut, so yesterday we headed off to the mall for a trim!  I always laugh when I go in and they ask me if it's his first cut.  Um, no, this is his 4th!  ha!  This boy was born with a ton of hair and I've been trying to keep up with it ever since!  :o)

This was a big visit for us because Asher sat in the chair by himself for the first time.  Usually he sits on my lap, but we decided to try it on his own this time around.  He is ONE now after all.  I was so nervous that he would have a problem sitting alone that I completely forgot to take photos {boo, mommy}. 

He did great!!  The hairdresser gave him a truck to hold, but all he wanted was his own comb.  Once she gave him a comb he sat perfectly still and watched the goings-on in the mirror.  She said several times how great he was.  Yay, Asher!

To celebrate the successful hair cut I decided to take us to Chick-Fil-A.  I'm still trying to get Ash to eat different foods, so I hoped that maybe he'd try some chicken nuggets.  We must have been on some sort of roll - because he did!  I tore it into small pieces and he ate several strips.  It only totaled like half a nugget at the end, but it was something!

{that's not a yuck face - he's just chewing}

Unfortunately, that's where the great news ended.

Once we got home I smelled a poo, but never expected the poo-tastrophe that I discovered upon pulling A out of his car seat.  It was all over his clothes - gross, gross, gross.  That's right.  3 grosses.

This hardly ever happens to us, so I can't complain too much.  I am just so glad that we came right home, rather than hitting Target like I'd originally planned.  Thanks up there!  :o)

Needless to say, Ash got right into the bathtub and got all squeaky clean before his afternoon nap.  We spent the rest of the day playing and trying to get some good photos of his new haircut.  No luck there - maybe today!
