Beck's First Haircut!!


I have wanted to do this for a really long time but for some reason have never gotten around to it. I was looking at his hair the other day thinking to myself that I probably look like one of those mom's that think their childs crazy wierd mullet, or really funky hair is cute and wont cut it! So, I called Grandma Kenna up (the one with a hair license) and went over to her house to get rid of beckem's "wings". He has these really long sideburn/wings that if you pull them forward enough, almost touch his eyes! If that's not bad enough....he also has this patch of really long hair right down the middle of his head that if it's combed forward also almost hits his eyeballs! These are the places he was born with hair and just continued to grow while the rest either fell out or slowly grew in. I'm proud to say that we took the plunge and the wings and long/curly mohawk are now donated to grandpa Mike Shelley to slowly add to his bald spots :o) j/k


The before shots

The paper towel cape didn't last very long. He just wanted to eat it!

Grandma is so precise in her cutting


Now for the long top!

Once again, eating his hand

Really grandma, do you think I could look any cuter?

Dad shaking all the extra hair off my head and examining the new haircut (or something like that)

Ta-dah! It's now really curly on top when it's wet but this picture doesn't really show it

And this is the comb down look. He was so tired he fell asleep on the way home.

Wow, they sure do grow fast. My little guy is no longer a newborn! I'm sad to see him grow up but each stage is so much fun and the older he gets the more fun he gets. I guess that's why you keep having more and more because you miss each stage :o)

He looks so grown up! It seems like forever since I have seen him. I guess I got spoiled seeing him everyday while we were down there. Can't wait to see you guys! I love the haircut and I am glad you got the courage to cut it :) Tell Kenna great job!
