Haircut!

Let's just say Benjamin's first haircut was well-documented in the photo sense. (And this isn't even all of them!)

Before. (Please note the bangs in the eyes and the shaggy-dog look around the ears.)







We decided the best way to accomplish this difficult (and dangerous!) feat was to set up Seth's laptop on the kitchen table and let Benjamin watch Baby Mozart. This is just about the only thing that will hold his attention well enough to make him sit completely still.

As you can see, he is mesmorized. Perfect!


After much combing, debating, and chickening out, Mama finally decides where to make the first cut. I think the look on my face says it all....
















"Here it is, the first snip of hair!" (I was seriously thinking about how the clip will look in the baby book. Am I pathetic or what?)
















Then we took care of the shaggy stuff around the ears. Good thing he is still completely engrossed in his video. This part is hard enough on a grown-up!






After. The result of our labor was a clean-cut, yet strangely older looking little boy. Yet another reminder that he is growing up so fast! Yet, I am enjoying my "big boy." He learns something new everyday and each time I think I couldn't be more proud of his little accomplishments he stretches the limits of my heart with some new and amazing feat. Children are such a joy!
