THE HAIR STORY

Last time when we went to get Jenna 's haircut it was a total nightmare... she screamed all the way through and the lady stopped halfway and said she could do no more since she was not sitting still.So we brought her home with haircut half done but neverthless the lady charged us entirely.. Anyway this time i did'nt want to take her to the same place and did some search on the net for someone who specializes in baby haircut and i found a place very close to my place called Little Kuts. We made an appointment and seriously i was dreading the day because i was sure she will cry again. The place is very baby friendly.. they have lot of toys for the kids to play and they have this cute horses and ducks and the children can sit on them and have their haircut... how cute is that!! But anyway Jenna did not want to sit on that,so she sat on daddy's lap and she cried but not much, she stopped once she knew that no one was hurting her.The lady who cut her hair did an awesome job.. We wanted her hair cut short since its getting pretty hot here ... She looks little boyish now but her hair was way too curly and it was kind of messy always.. now its kinda neat.

TRIP TO PORTLAND

Portland is a beautiful place...it has greenery all around and the weather was gloomy most of the time. Just the perfect place to have some good food and curl up and read a book.Luckily,i had a great friend who let me relax and did all the work and took care of Jenna too. I read 4 novels in a week..and i was not the only person who had fun. Jenna loved being pampered by my friend and her hubby.

We took Jenna to the zoo and she enjoyed thoroughly.It was her first time.She was naming the animals.. tiger was cat, pola bear was dada which means Panda.

The tulip festival was just gorgeous.. acres of land with all these colourful tulips was just a feast to the eyes.

If your a nature person and love all these scenic views ,Portland is the place to be.

18 MONTH MILESTONES

We had taken Jenna today for her 18 month well check up. She now weighs 24 pounds and is 32 and half inches in height. She had one shot today but the good news is she wont get any more shots until she is 4.. yay!She will also have her next well check up at 2 years.

She can now climb stairs and get down and it took her so long because we have no stairs at home but the one week when we were in my friend's place in Portland she practised climbing up and down.

She mimicks whatever we do.. the other day while i was putting my lip gloss she was imitating me and it was sooo cute.

She does simple tasks like throwing her diaper in the trash can,she fetches my handbag when i ask.

Suddenly i feel like she is grown up,she no longer has the babyish face...i can see an independent toddler when i look at her... where did the days go?????

A LONG NEEDED VACATION

We are in Portland having an awesome time in my friend's place.. its beautiful out here.. the place is breathtakingly beautiful,lush greenery around ,clean air and its drizzling most of the times,there is hardly the sun out here ,me and Jenna are having fun. A long needed vacation for me.. no cooking.. yay!We will be back the coming weekend and will post more about our trip later : )
