The Little Dahl-ling: First Haircut

First Haircut

Shortly after Canon's birthday I tried to cut Canon's hair, but I couldn't get him distracted enough to NOT look over at me and the scissors. I knew I needed someone's help so that I wouldn't cut his ear off. When Grandma Dahl (my mother-in-law) and Auntie Colette came for a visit in early December, it was the perfect time to get his hair cut.

Here are some pictures and a video for your viewing pleasure! :)

This is the video that Grandma Dahl (Mark's mom) took of the whole ordeal. (Actually, the video includes more than just the haircut because I wasn't sure how to edit it from YouTube. Have fun watching his bath and a little playtime before bed too!) It's not very eventful, but you can see how hard it would've been for me to do this alone, especially since I'm not really an experienced barber. I'm singing to Canon to try to keep his attention on me instead of on Colette's scissors. She did a great job! Thanks, Aunt Colette!

Canon's Growth and Milestones

11/01/2011- Canon turns 2 years old today! Over the past month and a half he has made many 2-3 word sentences. He is so smart and sweet!!
9/19/2011- Canon strung a 2-word sentence for the first time today. He was looking in an empty bag where there used to be toy cars and said, "No car!"
9/9/2011- Canon got a toddler bed (a blue car) and has loved the change out of the crib. He transitioned very quickly and loves the bed. For some reason he still waits for someone to come get him when he wakes up.
6/13/2011- In case you haven't read the posts, Canon's language has really improved over the past couple months. He doesn't have many words that are pronounced correctly, but he usually gets his point across. He likes to talk a lot, but English seems to be a bit difficult for him to express himself. :)
6/13/2011- A little while ago I noticed two more teeth coming in. The K-9 teeth on his upper jaw are poking through, but they're taking their sweet time to come in. The k-9s on the bottom jaw came in around the same time, but they grew in faster.
3/19/2011- Canon has been a little testy lately, and I've just discovered that he has molars growing in on all 4 quadrants of his mouth. Not really sure which ones came first, but I think the bottoms are in farther than the tops. Yea for molars. Maybe he'll actually start eating better now! *crosses fingers
3/11/2011- So far Canon does not have any official words, but he will sign "milk" when he wants a drink (or if he wants pretty much anything, even if the milk is in his hand already). He also has started identifying and imitating animal sounds.
3/11/2011- Very shortly after teeth #s 5 and 6 were coming in, the 7th and 8th ones cut through on the bottom. I was actually surprised to rind them all the way cut through before I noticed them. He now has the four front teeth on both top and bottom.
