It's been completely amazing to me since Kate was born how many appointments one family of five can have. Keeping up with appointments is a job in itself. Kate had a 2 wk dr check up in January and a 2 mo check up in February. Jonah has a 10 yr dr check up in March. Caroline has her 2 yr check up in April. Kate has a 4 mo check up in April. I had a 6 week follow up check up in February. David has had 3 different dr appointments since Jan because of headaches he's been having. David, Jonah, and I all had dentist check ups in February. David and I each had a cavity so we had additional dentist appointments. Do you see what I mean?! In addition to dr and dental exams, we all had to fit in hair cut appointments also.
When Jonah was little I had to start getting his hair cut fairly early since he had so much and it grew so fast. I have some pretty nightmarish memories of trying to get his hair cut. He would completely freak out. I found out by accident that if a man cuts his hair his behavior is impeccable so I started taking him to barbers. Now he and David just go to Supercuts.

For Caroline I found this awesome place in town called Cookie Cutters that specializes in cutting kids hair. They have fun chairs for the kids to sit in, the kids get to watch a movie while their hair is cut, AND the kids get a balloon and a sucker. I love it!

I think they do a really good job too. For now I like Caroline's hair short. It's easy and right now in my life I need easy. Plus I think it looks cute.

And I
finally got my hair cut. I got my traditional post baby hair whacking. A couple of months after I have a baby my hair starts falling out like crazy, something to do with hormones, so I just get it all cut off. After Jonah I seriously thought I was going bald. I didn't know it was a normal postpartum thing.
