Since our trip to the lake didn’t work out quite like we had hoped, I thought I would like to try the pool. A mom friend has easy access to a country club pool and invited us, so it was perfect.
Unfortunately, it didn’t go well. Whether he didn’t like his sunglasses or it was too warm in the sun or he was hungry or he was tired…he just cried and cried every time I barely put his feet in the water. Of course, the other two babies were having a ball! We’re invited to try again if the weather holds.
Then we decided it was time for a mini non-professional hair cut. The hair over his ears was sooooo long we’ve started calling him Hippie. 🙂 It also gets in the way when we take off his helmet (we pull hair a lot of the time). 🙁 Anyway, I’ve been wanting to take him for a professional cut, but Tom just wanted to trim it himself. I thought I could do it with a pair of scissors, but of course he wouldn’t sit still and I was terrified of stabbing him with the scissors…so I gave in.
Unfortunately, it didn’t go well. He didn’t want to sit still and the loud sound of the razor didn’t help. So there was lots of crying…which stopped as soon as the razor stopped (which you can see in the video). Stinker.
Poor baby! Let him hold the razor first. Then start and stop it a little until he sees that it won’t hurt……………….

Where is the final picture?
…………and where is my comfort burp cloth when I really REALLY need it!!!
Yeah, we should have let him hold the razor first. Then turned it on away from him. But we were in a hurry to get it done since it was bedtime. 🙁 No final picture—you couldn’t really tell that much of a difference. Tomorrow will be the 7-month pics, though…
And he did have his doodlebug…but it wasn’t enough.
