First haircut!

Spencer got his first haircut yesterday. Yep, he's over 2 and just now got his first haircut. I was very reluctant...my baby is growing up so fast!

We went to a place called Salon Red Kids. The chairs are little 1950's cars, and they have tv screens to show movies. Spencer got to watch 'Finding Nemo' (though he was busy crying, he did manage to watch a few seconds of the movie here and there). We decided to go with the experienced stylist since it was his first haircut and we didn't know how he was going to react. We found out that experienced stylist means she can cut hair at the speed of light through all toddler screaming and protestation. I guess Spencer didn't scream and protest as much as some kids do, but he was certainly not happy even in his old fashioned 'fire chief' truck and kept crying and saying 'I want to get out!' But in the end it was a very fast, positive experience and he still has some of his curls!
Before: long and wispy. He didn't so much need a haircut necessarily, but Fred kept calling it a mullet. Oh, and a few weeks ago someone asked me how old 'she' was.










During: not happy! After: so cute!

Time for some updates

Since my last Spencer post we went through an entire Holiday season and Spencer's 2nd birthday. We spent Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Woodruff in Tucson, and Spencer got to meet some of his cousins and uncles whom he had never met before. He had fun, but as always traveling with a toddler has it's challenges. That was the biggest time change he had ever experienced as well (2 hours difference). Aside from hanging out with family, one of the highlights was the Air and Space museum. Apparently Spencer has some high aspirations. That's right, he wants to be a cartoonish looking astronaut when he grows up.

We had a nice, relaxing Christmas at home.

In January Spencer saw his first snow! It actually snowed enough in Atlanta to make a snowman...sort of. Ok, not my best snowman ever.

Spencer's 2nd birthday was also very low-key. We invited our friends who have kids Spencer's age and had a big play group in our house. Fred made pancakes and 'dip' (AKA syrup) as that is Spencer's favorite food these days. I made cupcakes. We (parents) had beer. It was good fun. Unfortunately Spencer no longer gets to fly for free. So now we have to pay full price so he can sit in our laps, because I guarantee he is not going to want to sit in his own seat no matter what the FAA says.
