Trick or Treat - overload!

Happy Halloween. Thursday night we took James trick-or-treating over at Jim and B's Columbus house. James was a very cute Fozzie the Bear and even managed to have the hat stay on his head - but not clasped. Mimi and Poppa were able to go around to a few houses with us. Due to the cold there were very few trick-or-treaters so James did not get to see very many other costumes. He has enjoyed carrying around his pumpkin and collecting random items around the house. And now time for photo overload.

James' 18 Month Birthday - a little late

First thing first, James' Hair cut. On his 18 month birthday we marked the occasion with James' first hair cut.

Here is the before photo. With blond locks like that, why would you want to cut it? But I guess it was getting in his face and looked a little like Nick Nolte in the back.

We went to Cookie Cutters and got the First Hair Cut Package (extra $2 gave you a certificate, photo and locks of his hair). James was very good in the stylist's chair, despite the attitude in this photo.

When it started to get a little rough, they were prepared with a balloon. The final cuts went smoothly.

Ok, maybe not the best after photo, but it looked good with the shorter bangs. Nick has since gone back and trimmed up the back since it was a little long still after the cut.

The 18th Month birthday also included a birthday cupcake. He liked cupcakes much more now than at his 1 year birthday. Over all it was a great 18th month birthday for James.

The Hair Cut

So for James 18 month birthday we decided to get his hair cut. I have much better photos of the whole before, during and after on my camera, but here is a quick photo Anne took later that day. Cookie Cutters is not on the cutting edge of kids hair fashions, but he does look very cute. Plus he got a balloon for being so good, so overall a great 18 month birthday.
