A Little Bit Off the Top

Keston got his first haircut the other day at Great Clips before I got my thatch whacked down to the correct summertime length. His hair had been growing over his ears and down his neck in a rather willy-nilly way, so we decided a quick evening-up would do him a ton of good and probably keep him from itching his ears a lot. It turns out, he was a really good kid through it all! The stylist was very patient and quick and he really didn’t care but preferred to generally give his Mum some smiles as she snapped pictures of him during the procedure. At the end, they even gave us a little “My First Haircut” card and envelope with his hair in it. Aren’t we a funny species, saving things like hair? You never see anyone save their first toenail clippings, but we’ll keep the hair by golly.







Doesn’t my cape look lovely?






All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.






Just a bit off the side, please — and watch those ears! I need those!






WHOA — that feels funny!






Ah, getting that pesky hair off my ears is wonderful.






What…in the heck…are you doing to me???






Daddy had to hold my head a bit (I kept turning to see the action) so the stylist didn’t accidentally remove a cheek or something.






My god, I’m covered in PUPPYDOGS!






Yummy, fresh haircape! My favorite!

    He is such a cutie, such a smiler, and soooooo good natured!! So glad I got to finally meet the little guy recently. Oh, it was good to see you and Landa, too! ;) And yes, my mother still has my locks in my baby book. I’m pretty sure the Tooth Fairy put some teeth in that book too. And the retainer after braces is hanging around her house somewhere. Sentimental?? or pack rat???

    ahh He is too cute! I can’t believe how quickly he is growing up.

    I think I kept hair from Laras first three hair cuts - how sad!

    Wow! He did really well! And he’s very adorable… Nick’s not going to need his first haircut until he’s at least 12! That kid is bald! :)

    He is such a smiling baby, it’s contagious. And he’s gotten so big and handsome. The ladies are going to be coming ’round sooner than you think.

    you know, I bet you could do those haircuts yourself with just a little practice! (that’s me always thinking about how to save $10!)

    wow, how calm the baby was. I would say, that when a baby gets its first haircut, it would cry…
