HAIRCUT!  Luna's first haircut was today.  Eleri lasted 4 years until hers, mostly because she would leave the barrettes in her hair.  After too many lost barrettes and too much booger encrusted hair, we made a rash decision to cut her some bangs this morning.  Here's photos of the results, along with toothbrushing, a favorite pastime.  Gotta keep those 12 teeth clean!

Again, so much has happened since the last post.  Luna's over 20#, jumping on beds, climbing on the furniture, and screeching like a banshee when she doesn't get her way.  Also showing some interest in learning new words and animal sounds, subsisting almost entirely on macaroni and cheese and cheese crackers and cheetos, and very close to running.  One of her favorite pastimes is disappearing around the corner at the end of the aisle in the store, with Eleri screaming at me to catch her.
  Eleri has told me the last few days that she's happy when her favorite color (pink or purple) is on her favorite number (7), and she's not happy when it's not.  She also adores craft projects, and today we explored the glory of glitter projects.  She sings all the time, and maybe would like to be a singer when she grows up.  She also is getting to be pretty good on skis, and enjoys it most of the time.
