I love your new sig photo!  You are a very cool, fun mom!!!

Thank you! I took those this morning. The boys had a blast, but I decided that next time I'll do it when DH is home so I'm not outnumbered during the cleanup process!

If the Bump allowed for bigger siggies, I would've included these two as well:

Oh my Gosh they are so cute!  They are going to be fun pictures/memories for them to look back on.

And I hear you about having a tag team for clean up.  I don't even like doing regular bath time solo!

You ARE a brave mom! 

Very cute

macchiatto

Yeah, I avoid solo bath times at all costs. They are just too crazy!

Btw I love that your cuties are also a blond and a brunette.

I was thinking the same thing as I was checking out the new pictures of your little guys!  And I see you are also a fan of the buzz cut ;-)

Yeah, we just decided to try it for Alex because his hair grows SO fast and b/c he's constantly putting food in his hair, so we figured it would be easier to clean this way. I'm having a hard time getting used to it though; he just looks so old!

My stylist friend said Will would look bald if we gave him a buzz cut since his hair's so light but it doesn't look that way on your DS! (Will's hair is also thinner and grows slower and he rarely puts food in it, so we didn't bother buzzing him.)

hehe -I should shave my hair b/c I seem to always get food or something in it!

My husband surprised me with their first buzz cut and it really took me back too.  I left the house and they were my little babies and I came home to little boys!  (after spending $$$ at an expensive kids cut place my husband took matters into his own hands)

I think for the first week after the buzz it is a little too short but then I really like the way it grows in.  Maybe give it a try on Will if you don't have any special events/photo ops planned and see how it grows in.

The money we save and getting to avoid going to the salon is worth it for me!

Yeah, maybe I will try it. I held off on buzzing Alex's until after we took their 18-month pics (which ended up being 19-month pics ). DH LOVE Alex's hair and really likes the idea of doing both boys' hair himself too. It would save money, that's for sure!
