Brenden's First Haircut

We had planned on cutting his hair on his first birthday, but the helmet was making him too hot with all that hair. Hopefully it will be more comfortable for him. Thanks to Grandma Neen for cutting Brenden's hair. Mommy was sad to see his curls go, but we saved several locks. He is definitely a blonde boy now. Reminds us of his cousin Carter. I have a feeling those two are going to be trouble. :-) Afterwards we took him to see Grammie Linda and she thought he looked really cute with his blonde hair. He really looks like a boy now.

Complicated Our Life Just a Little More

As if we weren't busy enough Jim found a Viszla puppy. He's been wanting another Viszla for years. Kuai is enough work, we really didn't need two super high energy dogs. But he makes up for it in cuteness and Brenden adores him. Brenden also received his cranial sculpting helmet this week. He developed a flat spot on his head because he is always laying on his back and in the same place. We tried tilting him and a lot of other things. It was getting better, but not enough better. The helmet should allow his head to grow into the shape it should be. He will have to wear it 23 hours a day for 3-7 months. Rob, Dee, Erin, and Brandon also came to visit. We all met at Mom's for a nice breakfast.
