Coleman's Hair and Levi's Here!

I finally allowed Eric to convince me that we needed to cut Coleman's hair... well, really, shave it.  He was starting to lose LARGE patches of hair, and since it was so long and dark, it was making him looked a little unkempt and sloppy... so I gave in.  And started to cry after the first few swipes.  So, Yaya has affectionately re-named him to "bootcamp" because it looks like my 4 mth old has a military buzz cut.  Eric said he was "honored to get the chance to give his son his first hair cut with his clippers" and i have decided it is going to take me a WHILE to get used to it.  When Eve first saw him, he was getting a little squirmy for his bottle, she says, "Oh, Cole-man-man, dont cry!  Momma, he's upset cuz he wants his hair back!  Now he and daddy have the same hair!"  I hope it grows back quickly.  All things considered,  I think it looks much better than it did, but it is hard for me to see my ONLY baby with HAIR ... bald!  On the bright side, Ellie is not the family member with the least amount of hair now :)  Pictures will come ...

Baby Levi Nicholas Davis arrived in our lives on May 24 ... he is VERY cute.  I couldn't wait to get my chance to hold him, so Eve and I went up there that afternoon.  The first thing Eve said when I invited her to go with me was, "oh momma!  I LOVE to pet little babies through the circle things!"  I sat and thought for a minute... then realized she was referring to Clara and Ellie's NICU beds.  Melt.my.heart.   She remembered.  She was 2 and a half!  I did explain to her that Levi was going to be a healthy baby, like Coleman.  She seemed to understand and couldn't wait to meet him.  When we pulled in the parking garage, Eve was so excited!  She jumped out of the van looking around everywhere saying, "Levi, Levi... I can't find you anywhere!!"  I'm sure TayTay was exhausted... but she let us hold and play with him for a little bit.  Just like every other place we go, Eve didn't meet a stranger.  She told the women we passed in the hallway who commented on how beautiful her ponytails were that "they are BRAIDS!  not ponytails!"  and told kristen's nurse, "see ya later, when we need ya" and the woman looking at her great nephew through the nursery window that "her baby needed to be named Brightley because that was a good name, and so was Julie if she had a baby girl.  There is a baby girl doll in the corner over there that is not a real baby, but a real baby doll.  She has a sunflower on her hat like a baby doll.  It is a beautiful sunflower hat and looks so silly.  I would like a purple sunflower hat just like that real baby doll" and the man in the elevator "we're going to see our baby Levi and he's our baby cousin, TayTay and Uncle Bill have him" and she told TayTay that "her baby Levi loved her the really mostest".  I have to really pick and choose the places in public I take her too :)
