Pumpkin Update

Well, here is the update for the "4th child" in the family. It has been 3 1/2 weeks since the last picture. Notice any difference?? Scroll down and compare the two pictures! I think he's grown quite a bit in the last month. There are still 5 weeks left until Halloween so we're hoping for great things. Maybe a mutant pumpkin or something. I think Ryan was hoping for bigger at this stage. (Not sure why. But I did catch him chanting the "peter peter pumpkin eater" nursery rhyme as he drenched his pumpkin in plant food. You know the "had a wife and couldn't keep her" part. I'm wondering if I should be worried about that...;) Actually I kinda think the growth is slowing down so I'm not sure if it will be much bigger than this or not for the carving party. Stay tuned unil next time.....

Who is that baby??

What? You don't recognize this baby? All I can say is Kyson got his first haircut. And as the scissors cut off his hair a little piece of his mommy was cut off too (sniff). I am still recuperating (and in mourning) from the experience.

I loved his long old-man-comb-over hair. And maybe it is just because I am his mother. But it had to be done. His hair on the back of his head and down the middle was probably 3 inches long. Which means it blew in the wind. Actually "flapped" would be a more accurate description. I still loved it. But I had put it off long enough.

And can I say that this is the shortest his hair has ever been. I mean, he was born with 3 times the amount of hair that he now has. His baby hair never fell out. It just started to grow in blonde so he had blonde roots and dark tips. I called him my punk rocker baby. But now it's gone. And yes, he still has hair people! But the fact is all of his dark hair is gone and in its place is white blonde. This gives him the appearance of being a baldy. Hence the reason that his mommy is still recuperating.

In fact, I specifically took these pictures outside so the camera could even see his hair. My male hairstylist promised me that Kyson's hair would grow back thicker and faster. We'll see. I'm just glad that I didn't let him buzz it with a 1. Yikes!
