New babies, haircuts, and blueberries

Our friends Tina and Peter (Sadie's parents) finally had their second baby last Wednesday; he was about 10 days overdue!. Anna and I went to visit Tina and baby Lukas in the hospital on Thursday afternoon and were both enthralled to see a not-so-tiny (9.7 lbs.!) newborn. Anna picked up on the idea right away and kept saying "baby" and "Saysi", even though Sadie wasn't there. Amazingly, Anna didn't seem jealous at all when I was holding sweet baby Lukas ... a good sign, we hope!

On Friday Anna got her first "haircut", albeit not much of one. I'd been thinking for awhile that she needed some kind of trim since her hair is so straight and she'd never gotten any hair cut off; the flyaways were getting a bit much. So after talking to my hairdresser on Wednesday (who gave me some great advice!), I attempted to trim things up a bit. Matt and I aren't quite sure if anyone else would be able to notice, but we think her hair now lays a bit more smoothly, even if it's still in her eyes. We decided against giving her bangs at this point since my hairdresser informed me that would be a several year committment if we started now.

In the past week, Anna has decided that blueberries are her favorite food. She's often had blueberry pancakes, fruit salad with blueberries in it, or blueberry yogurt, but Friday night was her first experience with pure blueberries. Holy cow ... she's in love. For the next six meals, Anna asked for "bu? bu?" It wasn't too hard to say "no blueberries now, hon" until last night when she was already super tired and crabby and proceeded to throw a fit. Gotta love those toddlers.





Before blueberries ... or at least at the beginning.









During blueberries ... we can't quite get a picture of a good smile these days, just this goofy one :)








After blueberries ... where are there?
