First 'salon' haircut

/

We love Santiago's hair long, it's so cute. But we recently noticed it interfering with important baby stuff, like crawling! It was always in his eyes. Not to mention his gnarly, yet adorable bed head.

On Sunday we stopped by our favorite salon, Disconnected in North Park, and Neil, the owner gave him a quick trim. Santi fussed the whole time! You'd a thought haircuts hurt by the sound of his cries! But Neil powered through it and gave Santi the sweetest baby boy trim. We love his new look, he is so handsome.

Today was rainy, so we went to Melissa's house for some indoor playtime. Kaison is just over 4 months old. He and Santi are 6 months apart (just like Melissa and I!)

When I see them play together I can't help but imagine them as teenagers, being loud, rowdy and causing trouble. I know the years will fly by, we will be there in a blink. So I have to stop myself and soak up these precious moments. They are so small and so sweet. They recognize each other, smile and try to touch each others faces, it's the cutest! Friends for life. ❤

 

Sea Life aquarium

If you would have told me six months ago that we'd be doing normal things, like taking our baby to the aquarium, I would have never believed you!

My mom gave us season passes to LegoLand and their aquarium for Christmas. We were so excited to take Santi for the first time! He loved seeing the beautiful fish. They even have sharks and stingrays. So cool! We'll be spending a lot of time there this year.

Nine months!

Nine months has never passed so quickly! (I probably say that every time I do an age post) But its true! Time is flying by us too fast. Our baby is looking less like a baby and more like a little boy.


  • He is working on popping out tooth #8.

  • I had to trim his hair (AGAIN!)

  • He crawls nonstop and is starting to pull up! I even found him standing in his crib this week!

  • He loves playing with Stella and his maracas

  • He is still a great sleeper, sleeping 7pm-7am consistently and taking 2 naps a day

  • After 3 months of Baby-Led Weaning (excited to post about BLW soon!) he is really interested in food and feeding himself

  • Mama is still pumping. Santi now has 2 breastmilk and 2 formula bottles everyday

  • Santi is learning to use a sippy cup

  • At his last office visit he was 21lbs and almost 29 inches long
