Colin's Very First Haircut!!!






Well, today was the big day. The day that I have been both excited about and dreading for a long time. Colin got his hair cut!!! I know, I am such a mother to freak out over such a thing, but it was a big deal. This was the first time my little baby was having those little baby hairs touched, for goodness sake!! Colin was, as usual, amazing. He was SUCH a trooper!! We went to a place that specializes in little children and I am glad that I finally decided to go that direction. They had tiny chairs just for little ones and there were movies playing right in front of him. Dena cut his hair and she was wonderful!! She was incredibly sweet and Colin liked her instantly. She was very gentle and worked FAST. She did not use the clippers and only scissors for his first time and he did not mind her messing with his hair at all. She even had a big stash of Goldfish snacks on hand and Colin ate them the entire time. He loved them so much that he barely noticed his hair getting cut! I think he looks incredibly dapper now and a little too much like a boy instead of a baby. But all in all, I am glad that we went for it since his hair was getting wild! We went to the pool this afternoon and his hair did not get anywhere near his eyes, which was wonderful. It was totally out of his way. What a big day for my little baby!!!!
The first two pics above are before the cut, the middle two are during, and the last one is the after shot taken by the stylist. In the "Baby's First Haircut" package, we got the picture printed out with a little memento frame and pouches of his hair. I scanned it in, so the quality is not great, but her picture turned out cuter than the one on our camera. Also, we took video and I just posted it on youtube since I think the quality remains better that way for sharing. The links for the two videos are:
If that does not work, you can search on youtube for "Colin's First Haircut". You will find take one and take two. :-)
