I need a haircut. Part 3
My sons hair grows like a weed and he definitely did not get it from me. I didn't have hair until I was like four years old. My husband on the other hand looked like he needed a haircut in every picture taken after he was born.
At 12 months K got his first official "go to the salon" haircut because my sister said he looked like Jim Halpert from the TV show The Office. As you can see...

At 14.5 months we went back to the salon because my brother said he looked like Jimmy Neutron...
And now at 17.5 months we are back ...
because Mommy thinks he is sporting the teen singing sensation Justin Bieber look...
What do you think??
All because of a shell
I haven't had much time to blog lately but I wanted to a share an article I came across about Graeme Clark, the inventor of the cochlear implant. This article discusses how he was recently awarded the Lister Medal, for his outstanding contributions to surgical science. It also tells the story of how his deaf father inspired him to develop the cochlear implant and how a simple shell on the beach made it all possible.
Our family will always be forever thankful to Graeme Clark. Everyday we get to see his modern miracle in action. Seven months ago our child couldn't hear a jet engine pass him by, now he can hear a whisper. All this because of one mans vision and a shell on the beach.
We, along with many other C.I. families have adopted the shell spiral/swirl as our family emblem. Each time I see a shell or swirl I can't help but take a picture of it. It means so much to us now. When it came to picking out K's new car seat I knew exactly which pattern I liked best! ;)
Questions for CI Parents
Kemper is now a full time walkin' talkin' boy. We never thought we would get here, but we are loving every minute of it! So now that he's a "big boy", we have been thinking of moving K's C.I. processors, that we keep pinned to his clothes near his shoulders, on his ears. We planned on doing this sooner, but he was primarily crawling up until about 15 months, making it almost impossible to keep the processors on his ears. He is doing pretty well at localizing to sounds, but we think that he could do even better with them on his ears. Only problem is that we are not quite sure how to go about it. There are many different aids but what do you think would work best for an active 16 month old boy? What does your child use? Here are some options that I have found, but I'd love to hear other's opinions on them...
These may help them from getting lost, but how can we keep them on his ears?
Thees cables allow him to wear the processors on his ears, but the battery portion still remains pinned to his clothing.
May work better for hearing aids, but I hear they are an option?
Great idea but I'm not sure we like the idea of headbands on boys ;)
Any others?

Painting with a Twist
Painting with a Twist: bring your friends, your favorite beverage, snacks, and get ready to paint! 
The walls were lined with different paintings that we could pick from. We decided on the peacock. 
It was so much fun! They provided the paint, brushes and canvas and a local artist guided us through painting our one-of-a-kind masterpiece. 
Yes, mine started out looking like a turkey! The AR side of me was stressing out at first but the instructor made it so easy and encouraged you to make it your own. It was like follow-the-leader with paint and wine!
Here's the original and my final creation (on the right) Let's just say he's a well fed peacock! 
And No, you don't have to be an artist to do it. I think the last time I painted something was in the 6th grade! We can't wait to do it again!
And because I can't have a post without my Baby K...
My sister turned my munchkin into a little Picasso!
He had a great time getting dirty! 
Taking a break to get a drink and reflect. 
His final masterpiece!! Kemper says he will be offering a friends and family discount on all his paintings, so grandmas get your orders in! It's a Paci Miracle!!
We found it! We thought it was long lost at the mall, but it was at home the entire time. I had gone grocery shopping and while I was taking the groceries inside it magically appeared in the middle of the garage. The place we had looked several times! I had not planned to give it back to him, but before I knew it his dad had sanitized it and given it back to him. I think his daddy missed it just as much as he did! All is right in the world now ;)
Here are some old "Paci" videos Enjoy!
K could always tell the difference between his original paci and the replacements.
One of his first signs "paci"
