Caleb's First Haircut

We took Caleb to Snip Its last night for his very first haircut! He did awesome - no tears and very little wiggling - and came out looking very much like a little boy instead of a baby. Of course, there are lots of pictures on Shutterfly. I'll admit that I got very teary-eyed and had a hard time with the whole event, even though I knew that he desperately needed a haircut!
We went to dinner at Mimi's Cafe after the haircut and Caleb had his first grilled cheese sandwich. He loved it! After dinner we came home and played and then prepared for paci rehab - night five. I was amazed when Caleb fussed very briefly (less than a minute, I would guess) and then got completely quiet.

Today has been a slightly different story. Despite being in a great, playful mood, he has cried quite a bit for both of his naps. He cried for about 15 minutes this morning and has been crying for more than 20 minutes as I write this. Carrie said that he's done great at her house for naps. I don't know what the problem is today - maybe it's just because he's at home.

Rudy and I have decided that it's time to lower Caleb's crib to the bottom setting. He is really starting to try to pull up on things and we're afraid he's going to pull himself up and over the top of his crib if we don't get his mattress lowered soon. The past couple of days, he's been fascinated with pulling himself up to standing by holding onto the bottom step of our stairs. He also loves to pull himself up by holding onto our pants or our hands. Last night, I helped him pull up to stand by holding onto the couch and then the little monkey wanted to climb up on the couch. Today, he pulled up on the bottom step and then actually climbed up to the next one. We are in so much trouble! The good thing is that he's still combat crawling, so we know he can't reach things that are up too high...yet.
