Playing in the diaper box

I am loving the two year old stage! For the last month (starting at 2 years, 3 months old), things are A LOT easier. Besides just now sleeping through the night (that is a long story), Kate and Lily are beginning to entertain each other. They chase, wrestle and make each other laugh so hard. Lily especially loves making Kate laugh, and Kate thinks Lily is so hilarious. Here are some photos Sarah (the most wonderful nanny in the world) took of them playing in a box of diapers the other day. There is music when you click play (in case you are at work :) )

Our first haircut












My very cute, but very shaggy-haired girls needed some style! It was so hard for me to finally break down and get their first haircut. Here they are (Kate on left) before the cut.
















Daddy leads the way at Great Clips while Kate sits in his lap and Lily warms up.



















Kate went first since she is generally a bit more compliant in new situations these days.


















By the time she was done, Lily was dying for her turn to "sit in the big chair and eat a sucker." They both did fabulous! No tears and no fussing. We were so proud of them.













Here is the "stacked bob" from the back.

To celebrate the big day, we went next door to the dollar store to buy these party skirts and balloons. It was a great family day!
