It's Not Easy Being Green

It's always been a kick to feed Jack. When he's in the mood, he can put away immense amounts of food. On one memorable occasion he ate a bratwurst, half a banana, a couple ounces of cheese, some potato salad, and a handful of Teddy Grahams. Of course, there are other times when he won't eat hardly anything except banana. His list of likes and dislikes is constantly shifting, he always loves fruit but other than that nothing is certain. He gave us quite a surprise last night when he happily gobbled up forkfuls of kale. That's right, kale - sauteed in olive oil with garlic and cider vinegar, not flavors typically enjoyed by babies. In typical Jack fashion he may never eat greens again, or he may continue with his surprising ways.

Hair

Jack had his first real haircut on Halloween. It was long past time, he had a real mullet going in back and his ears were almost completely covered. I took him to a special kids salon. They had theme chairs - Jack sat in the jet plane - tvs and videos - we went for an old Elmo - and were exceptionally fast. He was pretty good about the whole thing. He sat still and didn't fuss too much. He had one small cry, nothing a pacifier couldn't handle. The whole thing only took about 15 minutes - it was amazing to watch her cut so quickly. I do miss his sweet baby locks. His new do certainly makes him look like a little boy.
