Roald Blog: First Haircut

The past few weeks have been very active for little Morgan. He has been travelling quite a bit, going to Tournecoupe, Nantes, Montelimar (for a wedding) and then back to Tournecoupe. It has however also been a very active time for Morgan's development. While the days are long gone when you could put Morgan in one place and expect him to be there some minutes later it has grown even worse. Now you cannot expect Morgan to be in the same room (or even the same flat) just a few seconds after putting him down. He moves with such speed and confidence that mummy and daddy are left wondering if he will even bother to learn to walk. And thus far, Morgan does not seem that interested in walking, crawling at full speed is sufficient for him.

There has also been some other physical developments, Morgans proud range of teeth has increased from 2 to 5 with a 6th one clearly on it's way. He has also gained some considerate jaw strength as all those unfortunate enough to put their fingers in his mouth can attest. Morgan's vocabulary has also increased quite a bit with more complicated sounds. His unspeakable (and unwritable) sounds are however impossible to put into writing.

Besides mobility, teeth and vocabulary Morgan's hair has also continued growing. It's grown to the point that most unfamiliar people think he is a girl... It also hindered his sight a bit so mummy and daddy decided to spring to action. On a long dark summer evening Morgan got his first haircut. Now cutting Morgan's hair was a lot more complicated than it sounds as Morgan isn't very good at sitting still. The process involved mummy holding Morgan with daddy trying to cut his hair and also cutting himself and barely missing mummy's fingers. The end result might not be the best haircut in the world, but at least it is shorter.
