Ok, so we've put off the inevitable long enough! Last Saturday (10/4/08) Ethan had his first haircut. No more cute curls :-( and (hopefully) no more strangers calling him such a "beautiful girl" for now! Ethan's Mimi (Julie's mom) has a wonderful hairstylist that she uses named Rachel and she's known and been praying for Ethan all along - Rachel even has one of our blue "Pray for Ethan" wristbands that we distributed during my pregnancy last year. Dan will probably be the official hair cutter for Ethan most of the time, but we wanted to give Rachel the honors of being the first one to cut it and give it some style so that Dan will just have to trim it. Below are some pictures of the momentous event!

Trying to keep Ethan distracted with toys and baggie of his clipped hair!
Toy distraction not working, trying food!
Ta-Da! All done!
Oh and another first - Ethan tried peanut butter today and loved it (like there isn't a food yet that this kid doesn't enjoy!) Blogger's taking too long to upload those pictures so I'll try to post again tomorrow.
