February 16-23

Olivia got a haircut.  Her bangs finally grew out enough that they now reach her chin, so I trimmed the rest of her hair to match.  This haircut went better than her first, but not so well as her second.  She was willing to sit still while I did the right side, but every time I got over to the left, she tilted her head.  Luckily, I was just trying to match up the length with her bangs, so it came out okay.  Also, she's a toddler, so she never sits still enough to tell if it's uneven.  :)

Gretchen is in 12-month clothes.  She's actually been in 12-month clothes for a while now, but I kept forgetting to mention it.  She spent exactly one day in a 9-12 month outfit before I moved her up to just plain 12-month from her previous 6-9 month.  It would appear that 9-12 isn't very much of a size change; what little change there is seems to be mostly width, often at the expense of length.

Olivia likes looking at pictures of herself as a baby.  She THINKS she's looking at pictures of other babies, though.  In her mind, every picture is of a baby she knows who is approximately the same age as the baby in the picture.  We have a lot of pictures of Baby Edward right now.  :)  The same problem occurs with videos; she and I watched the earliest Olivia videos we have, and Olivia kept talking about how she wanted to watch more of Baby Gretchen.  (Side note: Olivia's hair when she was younger was fabulous.  I recommend watching Olivia in the Johnny Jump Up for an example.)

Taxes are done.  I finished the federal and state ones a couple of weeks ago, but city ones took longer because of the work I did with the Lima Symphony.  Federal and state forms handle self employment relatively painlessly, but city forms are less complicated enough that any income that isn't W2 based causes problems.

Olivia's haircut:

Olivia sometimes crawls in the flying saucer and walks around the house in it.  It does not have wheels.

Gretchen spotted the camera:

We have some pictures like this where Gretchen is in the saucer and Olivia is standing next to it:

I don't remember what was going on here (edit: it turns out I don't remember because Bryan took these pictures while I was at rehearsal):
