Hair Cuts by Daddy













We recently bought a set of hair clippers to save some money on hair cuts...Ryan wants me to cut his hair too, but I am not at that point yet. I think that the only style that I would be able to pull off would be the full out buzz cut which is just too short. The other afternoon Levi randomly asked if he could get a "hair cut, Mama". His hair was not too long but could use a trim. Ryan set up outside and Levi sat very still for the majority of the 10 minutes of the cut. I have to say that Ryan did a good job...he kept saying..then the lady,(who cut Levi's hair at the salon) did this and he copied what she did. Not so bad for a first attempt. I think Levi's favorite part was "wetting" down his hair at the end with the sprayer.

20 week Ultrasound








We had our 20 week ultrasound appointment today. Baby Koopmans was not very interested in letting us have a sneak peek. It is hard to believe the next time we get to "see" the baby will be when it is born! The ultrasound tech said that the baby was either very stubborn, shy or naughty, can that be at this age? The tech said the baby was in a position where it would be like us lying on our stomach. It makes sense then that she was not able to get the pictures that she needed. However, she was able to get some of the measurements and pictures that she needed but not all. She said that even if we wanted to know the sex of the baby there would be no way to tell what it is with how the baby is positioned with its legs. She made me walk around two separate times to see if the baby would shift positions but no luck. It was a long appointment since we were there for over 2 hours trying to get the right pictures and waiting in between. Thankfully, everything that she did see looks fine. We did have to reschedule another appointment so that they can get more accurate pictures of the heart. Here are the only good pictures from the ultrasound in 4-D...kinda alien like.:)

Spring break with Levi has been quite fun for me. He is always wanting to go bye-bye and knows where he is going before we get there. He has been to Chippy's house on multiple occasions and even wanted to "check books" two days in a row at the library. On this day, mamma was "workin" so we went to the critter barn. Levi liked all the little animals, like the ducks and the kittens, but didnt really want to be near the goats or horses. We watched this man give the sheep a hair cut. Levi kept saying "blankie on" because that what happens when he gets his hair cut. When we were looking at the horse, Levi kept saying, dada ride it. Eat burger. i wasnt sure what he meant by eat burger, but we went to Burger king on the way home and he was all excited, and then ate nothing.
