Whoops! The 17 month mark came and went and he'll be 18 months next week, so I guess this is a "just because" post. I'll fill it with pictures of Alexander and his current favorite things!
First, though, the big news in our little guy's life is that he got his first haircut this past Saturday! It was awful. It might just be on par with how terribly his first dentist appointment went. He hated it. Want proof?

| Check out the unruly "before" hair |
 |
| clinging onto Mama for dear life |
 |
| GET THIS THING OFF OF ME! |
 |
| Totally worn out from crying. |
 |
| Is this pathetic or what? |
And to top off the whole silly/totally traumatic experience, the container of blueberries that we brought along in hopes of it being a great distraction fell all over the floor and mixed in with the clippings of our baby boy's hair. It was ridiculous. And exhausting. And it's not even a good haircut (which is certainly not the stylist's fault!).
Side note/picture:
 |
| We took a weekend trip to Philadelphia with some friends in early February and, of course, took our picture in the famous "Love Park" |
Okay, onto Alexander's current favorites:
 |
| scribbling on ANYTHING with ANY writing utensil |
 |
| wreaking havoc on the kitchen floor |
 |
| trying on shoes |
 |
| vacuuming (or sweeping) |
 |
| taking walks and just plain old being outside |
 |
| sledding |
 |
| and more sledding |
 |
| playing guitar with Papa |
 |
| playing the drum (I think this stemmed from his love of the book Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb) |
 |
| Ryan Callahan. He talks about him when he's not here, he goes nuts when he sees a picture of Ryan, he just loves him! |
|
 |
| pitching fits. This is a new thing and it's ridiculous. |
 |
| another face of the fit. |
There you have it. A glimpse into the busy life of Alexander Carlton Rezsnyak!

Colin was a wreck during his first four haircuts. I started bringing along the video camera so he could watch the video he loved of his aunt Katie singing "Don't Stop Believing". That was the only thing that would keep him still enough for the stylist to cut his hair. We got some pretty horrible cuts for a while, but now he goes to the same barber Sean goes to and he does great.. of course the cabinet full of lollipops helps! We no longer need the video camera.
