23 months

Today Lewis is 23 months-old. It's pretty hard to believe he is just shy of turning 2! As he's grown, his hair has gotten out of control. So to prepare him for big-brotherhood, we cut his hair tonight. Here's the before picture with daddy.



















And after:




















Another angle.

























To make the day even more exciting, Lewis used a big boy potty for the first time tonight! Our friends, Brian and Missy Howard, graciously gave us their special potty that plays music when it encounters something wet.

Since Lewis peed on the floor before his bath recently, it seemed like a good time to give it a try, at least before bathtime. So tonight, much to his dismay, we set him on the potty and within a few seconds, the music started! I have to say I haven't been so excited in a long time. The only problem is that the potty continues to play this music until it is completely dry, which is a tough task to accomplish! Hopefully our neighbors won't get irritated at the music because we'll be sitting that thing on the back porch for drying. :)

Who knows if this will become a regular part of our routine, but it was fun to have a successful first attempt.

If it makes you feel any better, we did save some of his hair for posterity's sake. With the weather heating up, he'll be much cooler this way! Plus, give it a month and it will probably be long once again. :)
