Hey there, how’s your weekend going so far?
Saturday was pretty low key around here, but I did get a well overdue haircut! Yep, I used an exclamation because that’s what this stay-at-home dad gets excited about now.
I almost went too extreme by asking for a Mohawk, but thankfully the lady cutting my hair talked me out of it. Phew!
When I was a freshman in high school, my step-dad at the time once made me go back to the hairstylist that put highlights in my hair and have them taken out. Yep, I came home all happy to have highlights like the cool kids (fyi, not cool anymore) and he drove me right back to have it reversed. Fun guy…
Needless to say, my mom is no longer married to him and we’re all better because of it. She deserves better and has someone much better now!
Anyway, I got carried away, the moral of the story is that Kelley would’ve sent me right back to have the Mohawk cut off immediately; no questions asked. So just the regular “do” for me and we’re all happy.
When I returned home, I worked out in the garage and then Kelley and I went to a nearby hill for a great workout. I did hill sprints and Kelley charged (carefully) up and down the hill while wearing Avery in the Ergobaby Ventus.
We both worked up a good sweat and Avery had a short nap to boot! Win-win for us!
While I was out, Kelley had photo session with Avery in our room and snapped some great shots. I came in and we worked with Avery on sitting up and took more pictures in the process.
There are tons of photos to go through (yes, stamp “new parents” on our foreheads!), so I thought I’d share the most recent via collages.
Before the collages, here a few single shots. It’s hard not post everything we take since we are just so proud and think even the most blurry picture is priceless and hard to delete. C’mon, if you’re a parent, you know what I’m talking about.
I couldn’t “bear” to delete the photo because, well, what if one day…..
No explanation needed, just an adorable face I’m lucky to see everyday.
Oh hey, are those mine?
Helping her get set up for sit up practice.
Someone knows how to pose…
The first collage is of Avery’s multiple positions before falling asleep that we captured on the baby monitor.
Here she is in 3 stages all spanning about 5 seconds. From left to right: sitting, falling, fallen.
A few days ago Going Mom and I had a fun play session with Avery. Going Mom snapped these as Avery reached for and grasped the blue ring.
And the last collage is of Avery (surprise!) with her mouth wide open. Not sure if it’s just a laugh or she’s trying to say something, but as always, we think it’s adorable.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the rest of your weekend too!
Have you ever had to go back to have your hair “fixed” either by choice or by force?
