Haircut

Our little boy was blessed at birth with a luscious head of hair. It makes the ladies and church run their finger through it and the men look upon him with a strange feeling of jealousy. But there is a down side...cutting it. Try to imagine cutting the hair of an infant. They don't sit up, the don't hold still, their slobber attracts all the cut hairs and then they look like they have a beard of hair clippings. I'm always waiting for him to hack up a hairball. I know many moms who don't cut the hair of their babies because it's soft and curly and cute. My mom, my mother-in-law and many more of my friends. I don't think ill of them, but it's not what we want for this little guy...who looks a lot like Julia Child in this picture.


Before
After
Now he looks like he's saying good bye to us and leaving for college. Here's to a bright future for my little man.

Julia Child! Hilarious. He is so darling! Like Jack Donaghy, with that head of hair, he'll go far.

He cannot be any cuter. And I wouldn't be able to cut it!

I am always amazed how much older they look with a little trim! He is such a cutie. He looks like a Taylor in that first picture!!

Luscious is a perfect word to describe the pre-haircut hair.
