The Boys and their Boots

Braden now has a wonderful 'darth vader' boot to keep his foot stabilized. It will morph into a walking boot by April but for now...crutches only! Kohen, who previously despised his boots, now requests that he wear them and loves to talk about 'daddy's boot'. Ha! To prove my point, Kohen just walked up to me carrying his boot and requested I put it on. Just one boot. It's cool to be like daddy. :-)

IT'S A GIRL!!!

After showing so much restraint by NOT buying all the cute baby girl clothes I've been seeing...just in case...it is official. The next Galloway baby is a girl! And a wiggly girl too...she wiggled and waggled all over during the ultrasound... and waved at us a bit too. Kohen was at the ultrasound to meet his new little sister. At this point though, the tape dispenser in the room was way more interesting than goofy 2D images of a sibling. We are super excited! :-)

Braden's Recovery Begins

Braden has been in recovery mode for the last week. As you can see...he is taking it easy. As long as he keeps his leg elevated (on a bag of peas) and keeps his bottle of percocet close by, things go pretty smooth.

Kohen's first OFFICIAL haircut

Ever since Kohen became a toddler, he has decided that haircuts are for ninnys. He used to be so cooperative during haircuts but for the past month he has gotten shaggier and shaggier and all our attempts at distraction failed. He just wouldn't hold still. We also failed at cutting his hair while he was sleeping...so for those of you who saw Kohen and wondered why the hair on his right side was shorter...that's why.

Well, my wonderful friend Hannah (who is a pharmacy tech but moonlights as a hair dresser) made a house call last week. I got my hair done and then Kohen got plopped in the chair and before he knew what hit him...he had been shaved. I think Bear was loving the irony of the whole thing. (How many times has Bear been on the shaving table only to have Kohen waltz by eating delicous crackers that Bear can't get at). Although in this case, Bear didn't get any treats.
