Reef Indy's First Haircut Del's Barber Shop, Escondido, CA

We followed all the parent magazine advice regarding Reef Indy’s first haircut. It was discussed for a while to get the toddler use to the idea. Then he watched his Opa get his haircut first. 

Nonetheless, all that prep was for not; Reef squirmed and screamed for the entire procedure. It took both Mom and Dad to hold him still! Nevertheless the deed was done and he was none the worse for wear.

Further he looks incredibly handsome in his 'little boy cut' from the famous Dan of the iconic Del’s Barbershop.

Del’s Barbershop is a slice of down-home Americana. This four chair barbershop has been a fixture on South Escondido Boulevard for over 50 years.

Reef Practicing on his Balance Bike

Reef Indy is starting to get it . . . his balance that is. 

Most of us have learned how to ride a bicycle by using training wheels; however, training wheels leave out one very important element when it comes to mastering the skills of bike riding, balance! It is the inability to balance while riding a bike that makes it so challenging to transition from training wheels to a traditional two wheel bike.

Sunday Breakfast

Opa and Coast at breakfast.  Isn't Coast a cutie. He is already getting use to his strange new world. He will be a month old on the 19th.  

Eat your vegetables Reef. Oma is pleased to announce with a stern look from his father - Reef managed to eat this paltry portion of nutrition and went happy on to his reward of French Fries!

Family Dinner

Thanks to Dad for an awesome vegetarian sushi dinner.

Big Brother Reef compares the size of his foot to that of his baby brother Coast.

Wonderful dinner prepared by Chef Zachariah Smith!

These three kids play wonderfully well with each other.

Coast is very comfortable in Carson's gentle hands.

Dinner was so yummy! It was great to eat outdoors.

I managed a bit of Oma & Coast time. What a sweetie.

Learning without Pedals (Biking with Dad)

Scooting and Coasting the Bike

Dad is starting Reef off by scooting on his Balance Bike so that he can get the feel of balancing it. Since Reef has adepted to scooting on his bike, he is now being challenged to pick up his feet and coast.

Dad also hopped on his bike to demonstrate to Reef how to coast and ride. The plan is to gradually add more time as Reef gains confidence as he coasts with his feet up.

Diaper Changing Time

The boys taking care of diaper change time. Dad taught Oma a great trick - put the ointment on the diaper itself to help prevent any sticking to the circumcision site.

The Smith Family are now Four.

Too Cute not to share: Big Brother Reef wanted to help Dad bring Baby Coast home
