My Babies Are Growing Up...

Today we took Elyse to get her very first haircut. She was a little nervous at first, so she watched mommy and big brother get their haircuts done first. After that she felt comfortable and climbed right up into the big chair to let Ms. Torri work her magic.

Payton helped to entertain her and make sure she was looking forward.

What a big girl!!!

She liked watching herself in the big mirror.

She didn't like having her hands underneath the gown-thingy.

Elly had a little bit trimmed off the back so that it's all even now. You can't really tell since her hair is curly, but now when her hair gets wet it won't look like she's business in the front and party in the rear. :)

Next we headed over to the Pediatric Clinic for Payton's 11 year checkup. Now I knew he's been growing nonstop, but goooodness...he's really growing. At the end of the school year he was the same height as me (5'2") and now he is already 5'3 1/2". Dr. Swindle said he hasn't even hit his growth spurt yet. Man, oh, man...this boy is going to be tall!!!!

Payton at the doctor's office. Can you tell how excited he is?!?! He had to get 2 more immunizations - no fun at all!

I know I say this all the time, but my babies sure are growing up fast. All these milestones keep coming and passing us by in the blink of an eye. You really have to treasure every single moment...
