First Haircut

We've been talking about getting Jack's hair cut for a while now and finally decided to get it done. There are several kid salons around us, and we decided to go to a fairly new one to try it out.

Mara hasn't had her hair cut since last July, so she went ahead and got it trimmed while we were there.

Then it was time for Jack's haircut. He passed out on the drive to the salon and wouldn't wake up. These were the best "before" pictures I could get while Mara was getting her trim. See how long his hair has gotten up on top and in back?

The stylist proceeded to give him a "little boy's cut" while he was asleep and John held him. In fact, it was probably better that way.

Jack woke up when she turned on the clippers to shape up the edges. He wasn't too sure about the clippers and started crying, but it's also not every day you wake up in the middle of getting your first haircut. :)

Jack got a little stuffed puppy as a reward for getting his first haircut. He kept woofing the entire time he held it. And not to be left out, Mara picked a stuffed giraffe for herself.

He looks like a little boy now and not a baby anymore! But I think the cut suits him.
