First Haircut

First haircuts can be an adventure, especially with a wiggly baby. This mom seems so calm. She is helping keep baby from moving, but seems to be holding gently. Baby seems not to notice what is going on for a while. When baby does reach for the scissors, everybody talks to the baby without yelling or jerking baby away. No chop marks in the haircut or for baby!

Better than toys

This little girl and her mom seem to have a regular routine for brushing teeth that goes really well. Mom does a great job of giving Athena a break when she gets tired of having her teeth brushed.

Catch me if you can

Is the little girl really scared? I don't think so. She might be screaming, but she really likes the game, knowing that she will get caught and kissed. Her uncle does a great job of making the game exciting in just the right way for a little kid.

Dancing with Baby

Babies love to dance! This baby has a great partner. He holds her close, moves smoothly to the music and doesn't step on her feet. She likes it when he goes faster, but he is careful not to jounce her too hard.
