Kane's first haircut

As much as I want Kane to have long hair, I am so over the mullet.  The top just can't catch up with the back, so today I told Jon I was ready to finally even Kane's hair up.  I still want it to grow out, but hopefully it will be more surfer, less redneck. ;)

 My friend Cassie was so kind to cut Kane's hair.  She also cuts my hair.  I knew that Kane would be more willing to face the scissors if they were held by her, she is so nice and she knows him.

 She made him feel super comfortable and he really did great!  Here is the final back shot.

 Here is his final side shot.

 The final product.  All in all it was a great experience!

Cassie gave Kane a sucker.  He was thrilled and he sucked it without trying to bite it once!

Merry Christmas!

This Christmas MeMaw (my mom) came to celebrate, we were so excited!  Her visit was great, I wish we lived closer, it was so fun to see her with Kane and we hate to see her go back to Virginia.  During her visit we went to Ogden to see the Christmas Village, we took Kane to the Treehouse Museum, and we went to see Santa (pictured above).  He loved Santa this year.  I think Kane would have been just fine without a single present.  Earlier in the month we took Kane to Heber Valley to ride the Polar Express and when Santa appeared we had to hold him back until it was his turn.  Santa is currently Kane's favorite celebrity. 

 On Christmas Eve Kane put reindeer food in out front yard so Santa's reindeer could have a little snack for all of their hard work.  Kane needed a bit of bribing, so there is an Oreo in his right hand and the reindeer food in his left.

 Feeding the troops.

Checking to make sure he dumped it all. 

 Kane loved to put the ornaments on the tree.  Surprisingly enough, he really didn't try to destroy it at all.

 Kane was allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve before bed.

 He was a pretty good present opener on Christmas Eve, not sure what happened Christmas day. ;)

 This looks like he was super excited over his pj's, he really wasn't, but I was because they were super cute!

 We couldn't have Kane set out cookies without giving him one also...

 I guess he was too young to be up all night anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival.

 Kane is all about the cheese these days, the minute he sees a camera he says, "CHEESE!".

 Jon and Kane were hard at work putting all of Kane's new toys together.

 Kane was showing MeMaw how his tractor worked.

 Our little ham.

 Kane has a car obsession, he was very pleased that his cars fit in his tractor.

Kane's New Toy

Uncle Rodger and Aunt Bobbie Jo got Kane a sock monkey in the box and Kane's reaction is just priceless.  He loves it.

My Big Helper

Kane has definitely decided he wants to help with EVERYTHING these days.  We recently bought him a step stool and I am beginning to wonder if that was a smart decision.  He moves it everywhere in the house, like here...

 and here...

So, I decided that we would move it in front of the sink and combine his love of helping and his love of his step stool.  Kane had a blast washing a pan (and playing in the soap bubbles).

I have gotten pretty good at getting him to actually smile on demand but he was all business during dish time. 

He even dried it.

 Jon and I are so amazed that our sweet baby is growing up so fast, it's bittersweet for sure.
