Sneak Peak of Baby 4

We got to "meet" the new baby this week at our anatomy ultrasound! This baby was doing barrel rolls and kicking and punching so much that the ultrasound tech had a really hard time getting the measurements that he needed. He often didn't know where to look next because baby would just move out of the way anyhow. After awhile, he was able to see everything he needed to see and we were all set to go. Baby Hanzeli 4 is measuring perfectly (to the day, exactly!) and is hanging in the perfectly average 51st percentile for his/her size. Everything looks good and we're all set to meet him/her in April!

 Perfect little right foot.

What appears to be a bear paw next to his/her head, is actually baby's left hand (as we were assured by the ultrasound tech).

 After many, many tries, baby finally behaved so that we could get a glimpse of his/her profile. Cute like the brothers, can't wait till April!

A haircut for Aaron

 It was time. He made it past his third birthday with not even a trim. We love his awesome curly hair, but with the weather cooling (freezing) off, his beautiful curls turned into a mess of long uncontrollable wisps. And, he started getting comments referencing him as "her" or "she," which is where Chris draws the line. Of course, if he was a girl, we could've tamed that hair with some cute clips or something and none of this would've had to happen.

 Before.

Oh boy, hair all wet and ready to go.

 Chris is the resident barber in our house (and believe me, it is a super stressful job around here), but Aaron insisted that it was Mommy cut his hair. So, after looking through several tutorials online on cutting boys hair, we decided to give it a go. Matthew got his hair cut at the same time, and it was a real time saver to have two haircuts being performed at once.

 Sniff. I hoped those curls wouldn't disappear altogether.

 Post-haircut bath to get all those itchy hair clippings off.

 All dry, and surprise! Hair is still curly!

 So, I didn't cut everything, just tidied it up a bit. (Which is also nice because it hides my amateur hair cutting skills.)

Which is good. I don't think we could've handled an Aaron without his signature hair. :)
