Ryan has not allowed us to take him in for a haircut.  He has been freaking out and doesn’t want some strange lady to put scissors  close to his head, face, neck or ears.  So, needless to say he hasn’t had a haircut lately.  This is what Ryan’s hair was like:

Now, we needed to find a solution to this problem and the only real answer was to cut his hair ourselves.  Now, neither Grace or I know anything about cutting hair (other than daddy shaving his head every summer).  Since daddy has more experience in cutting hair (his own) it became his duty.

So, daddy put on Ryan’s favourite Baby Einstein video and tried to make Ryan comfortable with the scissors on his head.  Well, by golly, he let me cut his hair….what was he thinking?

Wonder no more, here are the results:

Ryan likes to be a big boy and enjoys big boy things.  Here are two videos that Ryan loves to watch.  The scary things about these videos is what the workers must have thought seeing a grown man hang out the window with his video camera to catch these vids.

Zach– one of Ryan’s friends had his second birthday party.  They both went to each other’s birthday party last year and have known each other forever.  They both had a great time and Ryan sang happy birthday to Zach.  Ryan also had a lot of fun hanging out with his twin buddies Maggie and Zach (another Zach).

Here are some photos from that day.

It was really great to have Jean come in for a visit.  Daddy hadn’t seen Jean in many many years so it was great to hang out.  We didn’t have too much time so Jean just came over to our house to meet Ryan and Grace and drink a few beer.  Ryan was very excited to meet Jean and within a half hour they were good buddies and Ryan was playing his favorite game of ‘Run & Hug’

Check out the photos and the video below.

One of the big changes in Ryan from when daddy left on tour is that now Ryan likes to sing.  His favourite songs are Twinkle Twinkle and ABC.  We have a couple of videos to show you.

In the first video you can check out Ryan singing Twinkle – he gets stuck on the “like a diamond” verse.

In the second video you can hear Ryan singing his ABCs.
