No more poo......

Shampoo that is. For the next two weeks I have committed to not washing my hair with any kind of shampoo or conditioner. Maybe if I write it on here it will help me get through it :) You may be wondering why. I had a friend who recently said she would be doing this so I decided to research this. I found that a lot of people don't use shampoo and instead use a baking soda/ water mixture. Shampoo forces are hair to create more oils than normal because the shampoo strips all the good oil away. According to most it takes about 2 weeks for your hair to stop over producing the oil and begin to look normal again. So if you see me at Walmart, Church, out for a stroll, you now know why I am looking a little bit greasy:) I washed my hair Friday morning and have not washed it since. I am including a picture of day two and will continue to update. Renato is going to join me ( he is hoping it will help with his dandruff). Here goes to no poo!

2 months already?

Yesterday Noah turned 2 months old. Today we went for his check-up. My little man now weighs 13 lbs 12 oz. That is almost 14 lbs....he has almost doubled his birth weight...way to go little guy :) He is in the 92 percentile for his weight and can not remember the rest.

Some things I've learned about Noah:

• He is a happy little fellow who loves to smile and is starting to coo. He enjoys swinging and being snuggled with.
• He is a cat napper in the mornings and a good napper in the afternoon. 
• He is slowly but surely learning the importance and goodness of a good nights sleep.
• He thinks his big sister is funny until she won't get out of his face.

• He sometimes looks puzzled as to why Lydia always wants to give him a "kissy".

Noah has added a lot of joy to the Mizutani homestead and we are so grateful for him.  Mommy has learned the importance of scheduling and flexibility. Those things would seem like they don't go together but they do at our house. I have started making schedules the night before for our next day. I want my days to be intentional with the kids and having a plan helps that. But I have quickly learned that sometimes things don't always go according to planned!!!!! Thanks for the lesson Noah!

I am ready for fall, hot chocolate, and sweaters :)
