big stuff has been happenin’ here in the pok …

first, i am now comfortably wearing all of my 6-to-9-month clothes, which is terrific because i have received some very hip duds for this age range. mommy, though, is a tad discomfited by it all, considering i am only just barely five months old. it seems every time she turns around, i am outgrowing this or that …

second, mommy made yet another of her habitual bold moves this afternoon. we were driving home from running errands. i was trying to catch a nap in my car seat, when mommy pulled over in front of a hair salon that is about two blocks from our house. she lugged me into the place and asked if they take walk-ins. luckily one of the stylists — the one who had been recommended to her in the past by a couple of people — was able to take her, and …

mommy got ALL OF HER HAIR CHOPPED OFF!!!!

she has the same haircut as me!!!!

she is ECSTATIC, and daddy likes it, too. the best part of it all is that mommy had enough hair cut off to donate to locks of love. she is putting her ponytail in the mail tomorrow. (she and daddy also donated some money to the organization, and ibm will match it!)

i gotta say, the ladies at the salon sure did looooooooove me! talkin’ to me and smilin’ at me and tellin’ mommy how cute and good i am … sheesh! i must admit, though, i was REALLY GOOD. the only time i got a little whiny was when the lady cutting mommy’s hair blocked my sight line. when i’m in new digs, i need to see my peeps (mommy or daddy) at all times. i’m chill; i just need to know my crew is nearby.

third, the weather has been so nutty lately. yesterday it was cold and rainy. today it was humid and warm (high 60s!!!) … mommy says it’s tornado weather. (if we were in los angeles with this craziness, grandma maryann would say it was earthquake weather … like mother, like daughter, i suppose.)

but i got to see my first rainbow.

o.k. gotta go … the yankee game is on (postponed from yesterday), and i have some serious spectating to do with my daddy.
