Maverick's Milestones

Maverick is almost a walker - ALMOST! This week he's decided he's confident enough to let go and walk. He does really well until he gets excited and then he loses his balance. We tried to get some video, but he wasn't extremely compliant. I guess he didn't see any need to show off his new moves! Ms. Ruth, his friend in the nursery and the woman who says he's the most beautiful baby in El Paso, says he's supposed to walk at home and crawl at church so he doesn't get promoted.

He also got his first haircut and now his mother regrets it! The poor kid's hair is so fine, straight and blonde that it just doesn't look as cute short. It'll grow back, I know. In 2nd child fashion, Jake was trying to man the camera and keep Bailey under control so we only got 3 pictures and they're from a distance. I guess at his next hair cut, we'll have to restage it and take more pictures or something. We didn't plan our trip very well last night and Bailey had too much free time to wait and wander. He did manage to get a free ride on the coin operated carousel. The train just happened to be open for him!
