I finally broke down and gave Salem his first haircut at 11 months old. I trimmed 'the bang', his random sprouts of long hair and then evened up around his ears and neck. It was emotional but I had to pay more attention to his wriggling than anything else. Here is before:
And AFTER:
After us giving up on Salem crawling, he finally did it at 11 1/2 months old. We couldn't believe it! Of course Aunt Shaunna was here and he must've felt the need to show off ;).
Salem crawling for the first time

Salem has been sick this whole last week with a virus and double ear infections. Fever, rash all over his body, tummy issues. He was a sad little man. He is on the mend now, thank goodness. Here's our sick puppy still looking cute, but feeling lousy.

Avery started swim camp this week. It's at a neighborhood pool and is for 3-5 year olds. She is one of the youngest there, but she's keeping up quite well. Her teacher says if all her kids were as happy and smiley as Avery in the pool, she would want to come to work all the time. Here are a few pics from her first lesson.
My parents gave Avery an awesome easel set for her birthday. It has been a huge hit. Here is our little artist in action. Thanks, Poppy and Sitti! And thank you, Aunt Connie for the really cute smock!
Last but not least an ode to Salem's hair:
Half straight, half fuzzy
Oh, Salem's hair how I love thee!
