First (Official) Haircut

After hitting up a farmers market yesterday morning, we took Alex to get his first professional haircut.  I wanted to go to Kuts for Kids but it was closed for the holiday weekend (would have been nice for the guy to tell me that when I called earlier this week to ask about their hours on Saturdays - ugh).  We decided to try Supercuts instead since it was nearby.

Alex had fallen asleep in the car, so we were a little worried about him being grumpy but it went really well.  No crying - just curiosity about what was going on.  He kept turning when she was trimming around his ears - I was so afraid she'd nick him but this wasn't her first rodeo.  J Overall it was a good experience!  They even gave us a cute "Baby's First Haircut" package thing that included a lock of hair.

Getting ready...
 First snip
 The thought running through my head - "Stay still, please stay still..."
 "What exactly do you think you're doing?"
 All done!
Michael's so funny.  All day yesterday, he kept saying he hated Alex's haircut.  When I asked why, he said it just made him look too grown up.  In fact, I believe his words were, "He looks so old.  I feel like we should dress him in a suit & tie now."  Then he proceeded to show me pictures on the computer of Alex's "cute" hair.  Ha!  I think it's grown on him a little.  This morning he said it wasn't that bad.
I do miss his crazy flyaway pieces a little but I think he looks super cute.  J

So grown up. Adorable. I agree that he needs a suit and tie! Hilarious!

I know just how you feel. I hated Brian's first haircut but Paul insisted. It was curling around his ears and he was only 4 months old. Afterwards he looked so grown up and I felt like I'd lost my baby. Alex does look older but still cute!
