First Haircut!

This weekend I finally cut Ian's hair. I know what you are thinking...really he hardly has any hair! I would have to somewhat agree -but it is just super fine hair like mine. Occasionally it looks like he has a mullet -and that is unacceptable but I still didn't want to cut it. One: Ian doesn't hold still. Two: I am not a hairdresser. Three: Once you cut it that means you have to keep cutting it.
I pulled out an old table cloth, travel chair, snacks, drink, baby einstein: baby mcdonald, and haircut supplies. He was excited to sit in his chair and watch his show (which was amazing) once I pulled out the squirt bottle he of course wanted to squirt himself. Which normally I am all game, but not when I am the one in the line of fire. Needless to say we both got a little wet.

Before Ian's hair cut
Here it is wet - usually it just curls up so you can't as much.
After
I just trimmed the back and around his ears a little. Yes I know it is a little uneven but like I said my child does not hold. He is the happy baby ever but he likes to move. Plus he has super sensitive skin -the red spots are from my fingers and the comb. There was no cuts, no blood, no tears, and I even got pictures.
All and all I would say it was a success!

Good job Ash- I can imagine how haircuts and fingernail cutting could be dangerous and hard- especially with Ian. But what a happy baby:)

Oh man it is a big job, but you did good. I love the first 2 years of hair, it's so fine and soft, Thomas is getting too thick and coarse now. I hope school is going well for you guys!

His haircut is so handsome!! My little guy had so much hair that he had to have a haircut at a few months old...wish my daughter had the same problem :)
