he's growing up before my eyes


Really. To me, it seems like this week Silas has grown by leaps and bounds. On Wednesday he went for his very first haircut. He sat all by himself in the chair and was a little unsure at first but after his stylist (he has a stylist) handed him a tube of lotion from her drawer, he was just fine.
We've had beautiful weather this week and we've spent a lot of time outside. Yesterday, out of the blue, Silas decided he would walk most of the day. He had been walking a lot with his little grocery cart or holding one of our hands, but that day he did it all alone. Today has been the same. It's so funny to see him mostly vertical. And with a great new haircut.

Above you can see that he was singing to himself as he walked.

Does this mean I have a toddler now?

Love the hair.

Yes...you have a toddler and your life will NEVER be the same again. But, the good news is that in many ways it will be better. Just remember that you only have to worry when things get quiet. When that happens...RUN to see what he is doing. :)

Love ya!

I think his haircut lightened him up "just enough" to make him walk everywhere! :)

He will be big one day and you will look back and laugh at how far away it seemed! Just love every single day....even the long ones.
