First Hair Cut

I contemplated it for months. Should I TRIM his hair or not?! When I daydreamed about our kids I always pictured little boys (and maybe a little girl?!) with long, curly hair. Well, now I have one of those long, curly haired little boys but he started to look a little disheveled. His hair was always in his eyes and was a little disorganized with all the curls.So, I made my mind up and text my hair dresser. I said something along the lines of, "hey! I need Shaw's hair trimmed, just a little more put together. I am afraid I am going to cry and it will be paparazzi style!". Ha! My mom went with me and I am pretty sure she took at least 50 pictures. I got some of his sweet, newborn hair in an envelope that I will cherish forever. After all, some of it is the very hair that grew on his little head while he was in the womb :). Considering it all, he did pretty good! Even though Meredith had to cut his hair in the chair, in my lap, with him standing up, and with me standing up holding him, it looks great and exactly what I wanted. Still long and curly but more put together. My grandma, who is a retired hair dresser, always told me that as soon as I cut his hair he would no longer look like a baby and would look like a little boy. She was right!

Such a big boy sitting in the chair!

Now, standing up.

And getting a sucker for being so good!
