New Kicks & Wig-Splittin' Time!

Quinn hit two more milestones right before his first birthday! He got his first hair cut and his first pair of shoes!

Quinn has the cutest little curls, so I've been dreading his first haircut. But, his hair was also getting a bit unruly for my liking, so we decided to wait until right before his first birthday to get his "wig split!" So, this past weekend, we went to Cool Cuts and visited our favorite hair stylist, Ms. Tia. Ms. Tia has been Banner's barber for a while now - almost every haircut he's ever had - and she's watched Quinn grow up from a tiny infant who would snuggle in my wrap while Banner got his haircut to this big boy who was ready to sit in what is usually Big Brother's chair all by himself! Other than having a perplexed look on his face the whole time and not cracking a smile until we were leaving, Quinn did great! Here's some before, during, and after pics!

We love Ms. Tia!

And, the day before Quinn's birthday, Grandma treated Quinn to some brand new shoes all his own! It's become tradition that Grandma gets her grandkids their first pair of shoes, and since this boy is off and walking, he was in need of his own kicks! So, off to Stride Rite we went - with special helpers Aunt Kira and Levi. Quinn measured a 4.5, but for room to grow, we got him a size 5. He also measured WIDE - not surprising. His little foot is chubby! (Banner's was too at that age.) We picked out a cute little pair, and Quinn did great in them. Then, it was off to the mall play area to test them out! Thank you, Grandma, for Quinn's first pair of shoes!
