Hair cut

Davis' hair was getting a bit long and wild, so I took him to get it cut last week. Everytime I cut his hair, I have a little bit of anxiety over it. When it starts to get too long, it gets tangly and hard to deal with, and when it's not really done, it looks a bit crazy... but at the same time, I love it. I love those strawberry blonde curls! However, every time I cut it or go get it cut, I think he looks just as adorable with short hair. So, I'm glad I pushed past the anxiety and got it done. Here are some pictures of the before, during, and after.

To the Zoo!

Davis and I had a fun outing to the Hogle Zoo with Becca, Luke, and Braddock. Pretty much anything Davis and Braddock do together is really cute because they are such good buddies. It was a bit of a chilly day for an outdoor adventure, but we kept the boys bundled, and it ended up being great since hardly anyone else was there. I think we'll have to try it again in the spring.

I just wanted to add a few more gymnastics pictures. I finally got some shots of him on the ropes (the "spiderman ropes" as Davis calls them) and a few shots of him doing his "cool tricks." Enjoy!

Gymnastics!

We have had a fun month full of birthday parties, snow days, play dates, etc, but one of our favorite new things is gymnastics. One of Bryson's friends from Divine Comedy married a gymnast who owns her own gym, and they have invited us over to play there a few times recently. We took Davis along last month, and he loved the gym, so we decided to sign him up for gymnastics. He is in a class with his best friend Braddock and his cousin Rose, and they have so much fun! It is so cute watching him run around and learning to do fun tricks. He really loves the trampoline, the foam pit, and the ropes, but he enjoys pretty much all of it. Next time we'll have to get some video, but for now, we'll share some cute pictures (most are a little blurry).
