Hair

We took Luke yesterday for his first haircut! It's hard to tell in pictures, but in person it was getting so long in the back. He did really well, considering how wiggly he is these days.
Before:

and After!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It is now the Christmas season in our household, and we have already began all of the preparations- Luke was napping when we decorated the tree, so he awoke to find something strange sitting in our living room....

....and promptly tore it apart! Thank goodness we decided to put up all unbreakable ornaments this year and not my pretty coordinating glass ones!

We also took Luke to see Santa this year. We didn't make it last year, so it was his first visit with Santa. Had he been able to be in the room for awhile I think he would of warmed up, but with the dizzying clip that the line and the picture-taking was moving along.....it didn't go so well. What should we expect when we rush into a room and plunk him on an unfamiliar, booming, bearded guy's lap that he really doesn't know???? The first picture was Santa's helpers wiggling little jingly toys at Luke "You WANT to smile, this is FUN!!" but our smart little guy was not in agreement, and a major meltdown ensued. Santa's helper suggested that maybe if Andy and I sat on the couch for the picture, he'd maybe do better. Even then Luke still wary, and had has his eye on Santa out of the corner of his eye.....
