A Few Firsts!

Another busy, productive weekend - will our to-do list ever get shorter?!  As soon as something is marked off, another task takes its place.  Add in so many great football match ups on Saturday- there was never a dull moment!

JB experienced several "firsts" this weekend, and fortunately Mama remembered to document with her "real" camera.  Too many cute pictures, so I am just going to upload them all (you're welcome, Gia and Grammy).

FIRST, we took JB on his first trip to Chick Fila (well, that he could actually participate in).  Obviously here in Atlanta this is a milestone for the baby book. Our child turned his nose up at the nuggets and fries (?!?!?!?!), but loudly demanded Daddy's Ice Dream Cone.

"Looks suspicious…"

I was a bit disappointed that he didn't gobble down his meal - you would have thought chicken soaked in pickle juice, tossed in powdered sugar, then fried in oil would have been so inciting to this (turning into a picky) toddler!  Sure does have his Mama hooked!

"I'd rather eat that cow…"

He wanted to play so badly, but Mama wasn't about to let him climb up with the big kids.  We had enough "firsts" planned on Saturday, and we didn't need to include our first ER trip.

Soon enough, Bubs, soon enough...

SECOND "first" - his first real haircut.  Now, I know, he had a little trim last month, but that was really to chop off his rat tail.  This was the real deal, people - at Great Clips with James' girl, Erin.  We don't need no fancy-schmancy children's salon.  No Pigtails and Crewcuts for this family (and, I doubt a chick as cool as Erin would work in one of those places anyway…)

He did pretty well!  He even let her use the clippers, although she flinched and gasped so many times that I finally grabbed him and said "ooookay, that looks great, THANKS!"

JB then proceeded to go up and talk to everybody in the place while Daddy got his hair cut. (It was PRIDE weekend here in Atlanta, and we were in the Midtown/Little Five location -  there were a lot of colorful characters that kept JB pretty entertained.)

"How adorable am I, on a scale of 1 to 10?"

THIRD "first" of the weekend was a real bummer.  JB experienced his first Red River Shootout loss, boooo.  Last year, JB's early arrival meant that he witnessed a LONGHORN VICTORY against those damn Sooners from Oklahoma.

This year, well….eh, it's a rebuilding year, right?  Despite the fact that JB was rocking some cute Texas gear all day, the boys didn't pull it out.

Oh well - we won't let the biggest rivalry game in all college sports a little game ruin an otherwise great weekend!  Hook' Em!
