Luke's First REAL Haircut

Luke had his first haircut a month ago while we were in Des Moines.  I just had it trimmed as I could bare to cut off his adorable "boy band" hair!  As the temps got colder and the air got dryer, Luke's hair became very static-y.  It just didn't look that cute anymore, as it was constantly matted to his head.

Luke didn't enjoy the experience anymore the second time!  He screamed and carried on the whole time.  He sat on my lap for his haircut, so I was a hairy mess by the time we were done.  The girl had a difficult time getting his hair cut, but she did a good job despite!  He's certainly still adorable, but he sure looks like a grown up boy now!

Luke's First Haircut

I was getting a fair amount of grief from people regarding Luke's hair.  The number one grief giver was his father!  Too many people were mistaking him for a girl, and that didn't sit well with Jay.  I, on the other hand, just thought his hair was too precious to cut.  I refused to cut it until he was at least one.  So, after his first birthday and his first birthday pictures 1 and a half weeks later, I decided to cut his hair at a kid's haircut place while we were in Des. Moines.  I was very apprehensive about the whole deal, and Luke was too!

The gal didn't speak English.  She had another lady translating....that freaked me out....just a bit!

Luke was so upset, we had to finish the haircut in my arms!

All done!  Trimmed up...

Jay thought I should have cut WAY MORE....this was a nice compromise!   The next haircut can be a "big boy" cut...maybe!
