cut, comp., crazy hair

 it was fun to have caitlin and abby be in their school talent show, but even more fun to not have to plan anything. they just tweaked one of their competition pieces for only 2 people and performed it. 

 the girls had yet another competition. this time their little class took 1st overall for the whole day (30+companies) for their lyrical piece. they did awesome!

 it was at clearfield high school, which is super close to my sister sarah's house. so her and aubrey came along to help and cheer the girls on.

 this is the lift the 3 little girls do with abby in their lyrical piece. beautiful.

 aunt sarah spoiled them with flowers afterwards

 sisters. love that they are in the same class and can compete together.

 pooped out on the drive home.

 time for water balloons. i love this warm early spring weather.

 i was testing out how my new (albeit cheap) camera does with motion. nate launched this waterballoon super high to try to hit the girls on the tramp. pretty good job for a cheap camera.

 this sweet boy turned 9 months last week. NINE MONTHS!! he is such a sweetheart. we've finally got him on zantac for silent reflux, and that has helped his sleeping issues IMMENSELY. he is also on iron because well, the kid refuses to eat solid foods. so he's still strictly nursing. (which drives his mother crazy). his 9 month check up stats are:

27.5 inches long, 25th%

20 lbs (still), 25th%

(weird...i didn't realize most 9 month-olds are over 20 lbs?)

46.1 cm head, 75th %

 along with being a big 9 month old chub of love, his hair was proving to be out of control on a regular basis. so i tried my hand at cutting it. (or tried my clippers at it i should say). not perfect, but cute enough!
