The entire town of Tuba (and other towns and cities down south) was out of electricity and heat for about 11 hours and boy was it cold! What do you do without heat on a cold wintry night and morning? When the electricity first went out, Kono and I were still up. I could not see a thing! No moon light coming into the living room and luckily I found my cell and used the light to lead us to find a candle and match. We slept the whole night without heat and I was thinking, it's a good thing we at least have shelter and plenty of blankets. Granite's "hot body" as I always call it kept us warm too. It was pretty scary to think that we weren't fully prepared for something like this.
Anyway, Kaipo is bundled up and wearing what used to be Granite's beanie as a baby (actually all three of his siblings used this beanie). I like that it covers the ears well, and has a string to tie it, and a
cute bill. It's hard to find good beanies for babies, at least for me it is. Well, we survived the night and was so glad and thankful that we got our electricity back on before we had expected.
I had it with Kaipo's patchy hair and so I decided it was time for a hair cut. Poor thing, I don't like this awkward phase when the hair starts falling out (I can totally relate, my hair comes out like crazy a couple months postpartum.) Kono had really patchy hair and we didn't cut his hair until he was like 7 months. We laugh when we see pics of him during that stage of his life. Anyway, so last night, I got brave enough to break out the clippers and do it myself! Though it's not the best, (due to his hair falling out in areas more than others, him crying because he was so scared of the buzzing sound and me not being an expert at it) it will do and I think he looks cute!! He also looks a bit older.
I've been wanting to make this post for a while now. Don't you think he looks a little like Russell from the movie UP? I love that boy by the way, he makes me laugh.
