1. Ian tasted peanut butter for the first time. He seemed to enjoy it (although he didn't like, and spit out, the peanut bits). But we didn't see any allergic reaction. So hooray!
2. Ian stood on the scale at the doctor's office for the first time (instead of being stripped naked and weighed lying down on the infant scale). He weighed just over 28 pounds with his clothes on.
3. HE GOT HIS FIRST HAIRCUT! Ian didn't really NEED to have a haircut, but his hair was getting quite long in the back and behind his ears. We thought about taking him to this kids' haircutting place called SnipIts, but based on the online reviews, it seemed horribly overstimulating, expensive and could have required a very long wait. So instead, we decided to take him to the local SuperCuts and we had a great experience there. We waited about 30 minutes and during that time, Ian seemed very interested in what was going on. So I explained to him that everyone was getting their haircut and I think it helped that everything was calm and quiet. When it was his turn, he ran over to the chair and gladly hopped up. The woman who cut his hair was very good with him - she showed him all of the tools she was using (including the clippers) before she put it on his head. And he was a great little trooper! No fuss, no crying. And with a $5 off coupon, the entire cut plus tip cost us only $10. We will definitely be going back there in the future and we will make an appointment next time with the same stylist (which I didn't realize you could do there). Here are some pictures:
Before the haircut:
During the haircut, the stylist asked Ian to look down at his toes so that she could cut the back of his hair. Instead, he lifted his foot up! It was pretty funny.
Ian spent a lot of time looking in the mirror with wonder.
And here was the final result! I think the stylist did a great job, especially given the squirmy toddler.
