Grant's Haircut Revisited

...and his growing vocabulary

Last week or so I cut Grant's hair (and Matthew's).  Matthew's hair was ok, but not perfect.  Grant's needed a lot of help.  So I tried again to cut his hair with the buzzers.  Grant was very upset last time but he did better the second time around.  I had to hug his head to me and only buzz one side at a time, but he only cried a little at the beginning and stopped crying and wiggling once I started buzzing, so that made it easier.  I was able to get a more even buzz this time.  I cut it the same length all over, but it works.   Here he is with the new and improved haircut...and a little head scratch.

 
And from the back/side

So Grant's hair is looking better than a few days ago.  Grant is also going through the word explosion that seems to go along with this age.  It seems that he says a few new words each day.  I tried to write down all the words he is saying now, but I'm sure I forgot many of them.  Here is a non-comprehensive list:
mommy, daddy, anna, gammaw
baby john (baby doc)
milk
cup
candy cane (which sounds like "anna gate")
buckle
mickey
money
woody
out
baby john (sounds like baby doc or baby gom)
