The shears came out!





For Avery's first haircut. I kept thinking that I might be able to just let it grow, and that did prove true for a while. But, when I had to constantly put it up for it to look even remotely decent, it became time. The sides had started to grow and it made the back look even worse, uneven and ready for a trim.



So we heading out for a trim, visiting a salon one day and heading to a salon the next. Avery did GREAT! She could not have been better actually! She had some toys, a fun little push button chair and even was so good when she was laying on the hair washing station.








Concentrating, what is going to go on next here in this weird place?


We think the end result is pretty darn cute - but we would have thought that haircut or not! Bye bye baby locks :)

There is no denying it!

This girl LOVES the water!

This is day ONE of swim lessons and she couldn't wait to get in the water, nor did she want to get out. We didn't sign her up for session two not knowing how she would like it, big mistake. Thankfully we were on a waiting list and they added a class for the month of August. Yesterday in the awesome heat of Seattle summer was another lesson, check out these smiles!

Catching on pretty well to the "reach and pull" method of getting these little ones to move their arms in the water.

After denying her all summer long of a sno-cone (only because Mommy and Daddy rarely carry cash - REALLY that is the only reason!), but yesterday she got one... and loved every bite of that Strawberry goodness!
