From A Babe To A Boy

I love this graphic that was made by Donna because it reminds me so much of little Daniel's curls.

The boys were here again yesterday and Daniel spent ages going through the bottles on my dressing table and handing them to us.  He always has to be using his hands.

They had their first experience of visiting Father Christmas last weekend.  Daniel,  stared with his usual seriousness whereas Nathan burst into tears.  He did not like it at all.  Hopefully that will change in the future.

Daniel uttered his first words yesterday.  Not Mummy or Daddy or dog or anything simple like that.   When they were leaving here and Becky told them they were going home, Daniel said very loudly and very clearly "Oh dear."  You can imagine how that made us laugh.

Anyway, those golden curls are gone.  Yes, Daniel has had his first haircut at the age of fourteen months.  Becky had held off as long as possible but it got to the point where everytime he went out he was being mistaken for a girl, so it was time.   Last week he still looked like a baby as you have seen from my previous entry and the video I posted.  Now he looks so much older and so grown up.

Becky was not sure it would suit him.  Nathan and he have different shaped faces but she did cut it very well  - Becky cuts all our hair although she was never trained as a hairdresser.

Mike took this photo yesterday and I think it is one of the nicest of the boys together that he has ever taken. This one really shows better how different Daniel looks now.  What handsome little Grandsons we have.  I think they will both break a few hearts in the years to come.  I can see them being very popular with the girls.

Becky has kept a couple of his pretty curls as mementoes.

Not much other news from our little corner of the world.  The weather is sunny but very cold.

Have a good weekend, dear readers and friends.
