Our family of four boys is now complete. We are currently entering a new phase of life... we just returned to the USA after a full and exciting seven years in Mexico City. We are using this year to rest, renew, and re-envision our next steps. I have a funny feeling, though, that there won't be a whole lot of resting in this busy household of boys. Enjoy an insider view of our daily adventures with plenty of pictures of the most handsome men I have ever met!

Hudson's First Little Boy Haircut

Hudson has had his first haircut already - the one where the uneven whispy hair is simply evened out and no one even notices it except the Mom who traditionally and lovingly collects the precious locks for the baby book...

But that was a long time ago.

This time the haircut transformed him into a little boy!

His hair had grown significantly and the time had come to clean him up. Hudson has the sweetest little habit. He is a paci boy - he loves the thing! Once the paci goes into his mouth there is another automatic response that happens to him - his arm goes up and he begins to twirl his hair. It is the cutest thing ever. He twirls and twirls it until he falls asleep - I guess it brings him some kind of comfort. He used to reach his little hand up to my hair and twirl mine when I was feeding him as a baby.

With his hair being longer, the twirling was creating these little dred lock knots at the back of his head. Like I said, the sweetest ever - but it was time.

Thankfully, I was able to sneak in one afternoon to catch him about to fall asleep before his nap - and I was able to capture this special memory on video:



Here are the pictures of my Handsome Hudson after the haircut. He looks so grown up - so much like a little boy - and so so so cute.
