First Haircut

Caleb was born with a nice head of hair, so it's no surprise to us that he needed his first haircut before his first birthday. It wasn't a mop head of curls or anything like that, but it was over his ears and very uneven--he still had some of his original hair that had grown to about 4 inches long!

I started cutting Jon's hair when we first got married, and now Jon cuts his own hair for the most part. So it seemed fitting for us to cut Caleb's hair instead of take him somewhere. So, that's what we did. We brought out the razor and clipped his hair at 3 different settings: 1/2", 3/4" and 1" from bottom to top. I was worried it would be too short, but I think it worked out great!

We started in the bathroom, but moved outside to get an outlet closer to where Caleb was. He was entertained by his Daddy and his bath toy, and stayed very still. He got nervous a couple times and needed hugs from Daddy, but was an overall champ! Here are the pics:

  6. Great work! I'm so impressed! I have no faith in my hair cutting skills...although I've paid for some butcher jobs on B's hair I'm pretty sure I could have matched for free.

    It always amazes me how much older little boys look after a hair cut. As always, he's a doll!
