Our little big kid

Things have been changing at our house lately.  Our sweet little man is getting to be more of a big kid and it is making his parent's very sad :)  For starters, we decided to take on the challenge of potty training before the baby arrives.  I had read some things that said there is a "window" between 20-26 months so I decided to go for it.  Knox seemed very interested in trying so we figured "why not"?  Well, I am shocked to tell you that it worked. After about 5 miserable days, Knox finally 'got it' and we haven't had an accident since Sunday now!  Crazy!  I wouldn't say that we are at a place were it is actually making my life any easier, because I still have to take him potty A LOT since he is so little and it is definitely interrupting his nap routine.  But all in all, we are excited that he has taken the plunge and  is now "potty trained"!

As part of the preparations for the baby's arrival, we decided to have family photos taken of just the three of us.  This Saturday is our photo session and after looking at some pictures I took this weekend, I realized that Knox's hair was looking quite shaggy.

He hadn't ever really had a full haircut, just a bang trim and me cutting off his mullet in the back a few times.  So, we took him to a place called 'Pigtails and Crewcuts' for his first real haircut.  Since he got to sit in a toy airplane and watch 'Toy Story' it went really well! He didn't mind a bit and he even got a sucker at the end. He's been talking about it ever since.  "Haircut, Airplane" is all I've heard the past few days!  Here are some pics of the big event:

Can you tell it was nap time? 

the finished product

To be completely honest, he looks a little bit like a mushroom head.  But hopefully that will be cuter in the pictures than super-shaggy! Either way his mother thinks he's the cutest kid ever!
