Brody's First Haircut

Brody was born with a full head of hair. Most of it fell out save for a chunk of it in the very front. A few times, I actually took some baby scissors to Brody's mane and tried to clean things up a bit. Well, we were finally at the point where I really couldn't do that anymore. Honestly, do you really think a 9 month old is going to let you anywhere near him with a pair of adult scissors? I think not!

So, this morning I decided that it was time for Brody's first haircut. We found a place that specialized in cuts for kids, but what I neglected to do was research prices. Who knew that it would cost $17 for a baby's first haircut! Yikes! I even researched the infomercial product "Flowbee" - you know, the thing that you connect to your vacuum that has attachments and you actually cut your hair that way? Um...well after I saw what the product actually looked like and saw how much they were going for on E-bay (can you believe that people were going to pay $100 for one of those things!), I thought I would suck it up (no pun intended) and go to a kid's salon just to watch someone else cut off my little guys lovely locks.

The before picture is above. Here are some of the "during" shots:

Hmm..Not too sure about this


Okay, that tickles!


Is she going to cut off my ear?


Okay, ready to go!


All done! Don't I look handsome?
