We finally got the chance to get Sean’s hair cut for the first time! We took him to a local place called Cookie Cutters that is completely for children. We did the “Baby’s First Haircut Special” which included his cut, a photo, certificate and lock of hair.

He got to sit in a pretty cool lime green race car and had a movie playing for him right in front of him. He didn’t pay much attention to the movie but although he kept looking around like the curious toddler he is, he did exceptionally well. I am so proud of him. He didn’t cry or try to grab or anything.

My mom has been trying to talk us out of cutting his hair since we first mentioned it. She loves his long, messy and slightly curly hair, but I just couldn’t stand that my kid looked like a scrub with uber messy hair.

There is a full album of pictures on my MySpace, Facebook and on my website album. Check them out.

Also, a short video I threw together to remember the occasion.

A little something I put together in my spare time at work of my son running around the house with his blanket to the Peanuts Theme! I am one proud mommy, to say the least!

Enjoy! So fun! www.elfyourself.com

Our son, Sean, turned 1 on November 10 of this year. I have to be cliche and say that I can’t believe he’s already a year old! I must say, the first year as been amazing and I look forward to the year before he turns two.

Sean shares a birthday with the US Marine Corps, Windows, Brittany Murphy and Sinbad to name a few. Ironically, he was born on a Marine Corps base and I am writing this blog entry on a PC running Windows XP and I had a dream with Sinbad in it the other night! So strange! I guess Brittany Murphy still isn’t important.

We threw a birthday party for Sean at my sister’s house and it turned out pretty well. We had great decorations, a wonderful cake, tasty appetizers and good company. At some point, I think Sean had an anxiety attack due to all the people and the rushing around. Poor kid! I took him upstairs for a bit to calm him down and give him the rest of his lunchtime bottle. He calmed down well and we were able to get the party rolling again.

Check out the video!

Sunday was Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky’s annual Riverfest which is pretty much a huge gathering of belligerent, rude, disrespectful people who eat, drink and act like fools all day before a 30 minute fireworks displays follows.

I have gone to Riverfest many, many times but I don’t think I’ve ever been on the Kentucky side like we were the other night. On the Kentucky side of the river people can drink, however, people on the Ohio side cannot. This could be due to why there were so many a-holes and jerks.

We won’t completely go into details but I will let you see the good side of Riverfest by letting you view the video and some photos I took.

It seems like our plans for today have changed more than Britney Spears’ personalities day to day. Originally Chris, Sean and I were going to go to GenCon in Indianapolis, but that fell through. Then, we were going to take Sean to the coolest park nearby ever, but then that changed as well because I called my parents and they were going to a festival a little way away which ended up being in the “country” which by country people standards probably isn’t “country” at all, but to me, because I’m a city girl, it’s complete country. So anyways, we went to this festival and had a good time. Sean likes seeing new things and I enjoy it myself because I know that once we get home he will take one hella nap.

Here is a video of Sean’s day:

The weather: 83 degrees, sunny and partly cloudy. It is a beautiful day out! In celebration of the great weather and my need for some physical activity teamed up with being a loving mother that loves to spend time with her little boy, I laced up my Shox and decided to take Sean to the park to walk around their track. Sean loves going for walks and I love getting him out of the house as much as possible to see new and exciting things. This was the first time I had taken him to this park, but he seemed to enjoy the nice weather as much as I did.

Here is a short video of our park adventure:

PS: YouTube makes my videos look like crappy quality. I am going to start embedding from Viddler.

When my husband and I walk into our bedroom, we are bombarded with two laundry baskets full of clothing. Today, making a video of it motivated me to put [some of] it away.

My husband will be glad, I’m sure. For your viewing pleasure, here’s a short video.
