Growing So Fast

Tuesday mornings we always look after Nathan.  Had a surprise when he came this morning.  He had received his first hair cut!  Becky did it herself. She is very good at those sort of things, she cuts mine, Mike's and Dean's although she has never had any training, she just has a flair for it and the confidence to do it.

She said she felt sad and a little upset cutting his hair for the very first time but it was getting so long and growing down over his ears.  She has collected the cuttings and put them into a jar until she can get a special memento box to put them in. It brought back memories to me of her first hair cut.  Of course, I did not do it myself. I took her to the hairdresser and what with paying afterwards and chatting, I forgot to keep a piece.  I have always regretted that.

He looks so grown up now. A real little man. He was ten months old last week. Already he pulls himself upright and can even manage a couple of steps holding on to his walker before he gets totally stuck. 

Here is his new look.  Isn't his hair gorgeous?  If he keeps that colour, with those big blue/grey eyes, he is going to break some hearts when he grows up. This picture was taken in our garden today. We made the most of what sunshine we had.

He is a loving little boy, always smiling, always laughing, a real joy to be with.  We are such proud grandparents. God sent us all a  true blessing.
