First Hair Cut

Saturday Joaquin got his first haircut. I was amazed at how well he did. I thought for sure I was going to have to give him a bottle so he would let someone near his head with scissors but he did great even though it took almost 30 minutes to cut his hair! And that was after about 30 minutes of waiting for his turn.

Later on Saturday we went to Akron to visit with Jim and Laura and Connie and Jerry. Joaquin met Christopher for the first time. Christopher was born July 25, 2009 so Joaquin is almost exactly 1 year older than him and Christopher is the same height as Joaquin was at that age only he is 2 pounds heavier. It's amazing to see the difference in their sizes and remember that just a year ago Joaquin was that small!

Sunday I took Joaquin to get his Christmas pictures taken. They turned out great and hopefully soon I can get those posted.

"School" Pictures

Here are Joaquin's "school" pictures. They did pictures a while back at daycare and we hadn't planned on getting any, so didn't even send Joaquin to school dressed for pictures, but they did the pictures anyway and sent some home recently giving us the option to buy them. We liked them so much that we decided to buy them. Included is his class picture.

Update

Joaquin is doing great these days. We have never really had any problems with him sleeping but now it is super easy. When it is time for him to go to sleep we just say "you want to go night night" and he'll say "nigh nigh." Then we take him to his room and he almost leaps into his crib, lays down, lets us put his blanket over him and he just smiles at us.

His favorite thing to do right now by far is reading. He will find a book, climb into your lap and read the book with you. Then he'll get down find another book and repeat this process for about 20 minutes straight :)

Tonight we discovered something else that makes him smile. He was drinking his last bottle of the night and started to hold it above his face and wait for a drop of milk to fall from the bottle onto his face. He would make a shocked face and then smile and do it again and again and again.
