My New Hairdo

Here's Ellis sporting her new do - she had her first haircut ever today!

At Fantastic Sams, Forum. Not that fantastic, really. I just went to Forum 'cos I vaguely recalled a salon that does baby haircuts. I would have gone somewhere else if I had seen it beforehand.

A very worn salon - the entire process was over in a jiffy. There were no fancy kiddy seats with cartoon DVDs and shiny toys to distract. For $17.90 you get a straightfoward cut - me wearing the plastic wrap holding Ellis in my arms, facing me so she wouldn't cry. I wound up with hair all over my face but was thankful she didn't get nicked by the scissors. We saved some of her hair - packed in a red ang pow. It'll go into her special keepsake box. The cut didn't make much of a difference really, just got rid of some of her straggly strands.

Another first - Ellis had her first try at finger food yesterday - she seems to like her veggie cracker. She's gotten quite good at eating it - and I noticed she's added chewing motions to her eating repetoire.
