A New 'Do

My baby is a real boy.

Da Da took one look at Cutie Pie's wavy locks in his nine month pictures and said Cutie Pie is getting a hair cut. And he wasn't kidding. Before I knew what was going on, Da Da was checking the guard on his clippers and bribing Cutie Pie with Gerber Graduate lil' crunchies to keep him happy in his high chair.

I hid in the other room because I just couldn't stand to see the tears I knew would be coming. But, surprisingly Cutie Pie's haircut went fairly well. He was all smiles after a few reassuring kisses. He hardly noticed his missing hair. Even more surprising, I didn't cry one bit.

He looks like a real little boy now, without his little baby curls. I think his new 'do makes his teeth look bigger. How about you?

Haircut Fun

Before: Cutie Pie is wondering why he has a towel in his highchair.

After: Cutie Pie announces the haircut is OVER!

As you can see, Cutie Pie does not look much different since having his hair cut. Daddy only removed a tiny bit of hair from around his ears. He still looks like he needs a hair cut! But, it will probably be a long time before he gets one again. That after picture breaks my heart everytime I see it.

Snip Snip: Cutie Pie's First Haircut!

I am the proud owner of a lock of my baby's hair. Cutie Pie got his first hair cut today.

Daddy has been saying for a while that Cutie Pie's hair has been getting too long. It was starting to curl around the ears and down on his neck. We live in a rural area where plenty of kids sport mullets but we just couldn't let that happen to our precious baby. So rather than become a fashion victim, Cutie Pie had to be brave and face the haircut.

You might be wondering which barber would cut a seven month old child's hair. None. Daddy did it at home. Now you are laughing and wondering how much worse Cutie Pie's hair looks than before.

Actually, Daddy did a great job. He used the clippers and a high guard. Cutie Pie thought the buzzing sound of the clippers was interesting. He didn't get upset until Daddy had to hold his head still. He wanted to look at the clippers. He didn't want Daddy to keep them behind his head! Cutie Pie needed a nap after all that excitement!
