Zak was reading the Ensign the other morning while eating breakfast and he walked out of the kitchen for a minute. When he came back in, this is what he found.
Notice that in each of these pictures, there are different pages showing. Per was reading.
I love that he loves to read!
We can't leave Trippton out of the "first official" posts. He had his first real bath (as opposed to sponge baths) the other day. He was actually pretty good about it and didn't cry too much.
This is the post-bath picture. I have a picture of Per wearing this same outfit on this same couch, but he was doing bunny hands and frog legs in it. Tripp is all about stretching out and taking up space. No curling up into a tiny ball for him. He is a good little baby!
This is the closest he gets to curling up. I thought this was really cute.
So Per has been needing a haircut for a while. We knew this. It's really cute when his hair is freshly washed and dried, but after he's slept on it... it gets a little crazy.
Plus, it was always hanging in his eyes and bugging him. So we decided this last Saturday to do something about it.
Per was not impressed with the spray bottle of water. This is the only picture that shows that I was present for the event. Look right above Zak's left hand. Or right below Per's left arm. That's me. And Tripp.
Per felt a little more confident once Grandma took over the process. But he still needed Daddy to hold him. He will always be a Daddy's boy, which I think is great.
Add in an Otter Pop, and the whole process actually becomes fun. Look at that cute face.
Per has recently mastered the "thumbs up" and is very proud of his accomplishment. What a cute little guy!
For those of you wondering if he still has a mullet, the answer is ... yes. Sadly (for me), yes. Zak's response to this is: "His mullet is the coolest thing since fried rice." I am obviously not up on what's cool, as I was totally unaware that fried rice falls into that category. Whatev. In a few more days we'll cut off the mullet and he will have a normal haircut. 
Trippton and his cousin Seth. Seth is two and a half months older than Tripp. See how fast they grow? I think it's funny that they are both looking the same direction. Must've been something interesting over there.
Tripp on the Bilibed. He was pretty okay with it during the day, but the nights were another story. We are soooo glad that he's off those lights.
What can I say? I love these two boys.
Per loves his little brother. He is always asking to kiss Baby. He can't say Tripp, so he calls him Baby.
So cute!
