I was once told children go through more changes from 12-24 months than from newborns- 12 months. At the time, I had tiny little Anna who seemed to be changing everyday and couldn't believe that after a year old that their changes would be as obvious....
but they are and do!!
They change and do new things daily. And it's just awesome to see. We are enjoying Nate's antics every day.... yes, even when it means extra messes, more noise and a LOT more energy:)
I'm very thankful he's sleeping through the night... yes! But I have to be honest that I miss snuggling up with him in the wee hours. And I've been very diligent about putting him BACK into his crib during the early morning feeding. It's been soo nice to get out of bed early, get showered and ready to start my day versus laying in bed waiting for Nate to wake up!!
Ok... the last is a debate... is his hair
I will admit that it's very fluffy and scruffy looking in the front...
but the curls!!You can't cut the curls!!
And I hate to bring more emotion into the "debate" :)
I have this picture on my dresser.
It's of my dad. I didn't ever see it until we were cleaning out his house after he died 8 years ago. Hoping to one day have children of my own, I kept it to see if they would have any of his baby traits.
And then comes Nate and the curly hair!!! Although their hairlines are very different:)
So I'm advocating for trimming some in the front to keep it out of his face/eyes and letting the rest "go" and "grow" for a little while.
Do you think it will look weird?
Trimmed only in the front?
Ok, and so I wasn't wordless at ALL today.!!

yay for night sleeping!!! :)
as for the hair.. I love his hair scruffy :) - hes so cute.
But if you did want it trimmed in the front I dont think it look bad, you just couldnt do a blunt cut. Maybe your sis can help? I trimmed owens and did the same technique I use on my own bangs... that ay it wasnt just a straight line across... but his hair is so straight it worked, not sure how it work with a curly head.
Either way, hes adorable. I cant imagine what he'd look like with a trim tho :) so im interested to see what you do.
What a fabulous way to track and share your son's milestones. They are only this age once. Do what your heart tells you.
Getting so big. Carsyn just started sleeping through the night too. yay!! I think you should trim the front. I love his curls :)
Love the curls!! My little man has a lot of hair, too. He just got a big boy hair cut yesterday. Now he can see and feel a little bit better in this hot weather.

happy ww.
Camden has and had curly hair at that age too and I just trimmed the top a little just to keep it out of his face. Curly hair is much easier to cut than straight. With straight you can usually see every cut esp. with a blond kid like Evan. Camden's has always been so easy to cut. Once I did cut the back the top still curls up a lot. Karis has the same curly hair but since she's a girl I can just pull her's back with a clip!! :)
Love the curls - keep them while you can! The splash park opened this weekend. The hours are a little funny right now until public school lets out for the summer, but we would love to get together with you guys anytime. We need to beat this heat! :)
He's up to a lot of things!! Great that he is still taking 2 naps :)
Hi Kelly,
yes, Nate is adorable with his curls, but you also should remember that summer is coming around and even for a little child it will feel better to have shorter hair. I remember that a friend's son had curls (still having curls) and she did trim his hair, too, when he was around Nate's age and you still could see his curls.
I just love his pretty blue eyes!!
I like the curls too, but a trim would look nice. Maybe take more off the front than the back?
