First Haircut

A few days after Christmas Mike and I decided it was time...time for Liam's first haircut. I absolutely love his curls and was so sad to see them go but with winter and the amount of time he spends in a hat we were fighting knots and frizzy hair constantly. I had my camera on hand for the big event so here is the story in pictures.

Before
Prior to going in I asked Liam if he wanted to get his hair cut. He quickly responded "NO" and put his hands over his head. We weren't sure how he would do but we figured we should try it. He willingly set on Mike's lap, put on the apron and was ready for action.
He was a bit curious about it all and spent a good portion of the time watching what she was doing in the mirror. He didn't really mind the water or her combing his hair although he wasn't to found of the clippers.
A few tears were shed and the binky was required to make it through it all (that is for Liam I mean) but overall a great experience. He was very pleased with himself afterward and was happy to give me a grin to complete the photo album.
I have to admit that I was pretty sad for a few days. He looks so much older to me now and reminds me a lot more of what Samuel looked like at this age. It already appears that the curls will be returning. His hair is growing in much fuller and thicker now also so we shall see. All in all he is still the cutest 17 month old I know.
