First haircut

So George and I attempted to give Lincoln his first haircut on Monday. He sat still well for the most part, but kept turning his head to try to see what we were doing. Eventually, this is what we ended up with:

...because we couldn't figure out how to get the back top cut short with the scissors I paid too much for at Wal-Mart. So he walked around looking like we'd put a bowl over his head and cut around it. He looked pretty goofy, to tell you the truth--but still so much older! It was so sad!

He also walked around all night Monday feeling his hair, saying "Haircut. Haircut."

Tuesday I took Link to Pigtails & Crewcuts for a haircut fix. Although the ladies were pleasant, they weren't overly friendly--they were actually a little snotty, I thought. BUT the girl who cut his hair did an amazing job. And the little bugger sat as still as a mouse for her! Of course, he was sitting in a plane with a steering wheel that turned the propeller, eating animal crackers she gave him, looking around at all the fun kid stuff, and watching bits and pieces of a movie on two screens--so at least we know what to do at home next time!

Oh, and to get the back short like that? You use an electric buzzer thing (razor?). Which George has and wanted to use, but I insisted that my baby would NOT yet have buzzed hair. And that was the first thing she did.

I stand corrected.

Doesn't Lincoln look adorable? A little goofy in this photo, but adorable? :)
