1st Haircut

I have known for a while that I was probably going to have to get Finn's hair cut before he was a year old. He has VERY straight hair and it was starting to hang stringily (not a real word) down into his eyes. The part growing over his ears was bothering Matt but I thought that part was cute. My only hesitation was that he would look too old. Like a "big boy". Or that he would look "simple" as my mom put it, with it too short and straight across the front.  :)

I wanted to get a few before pictures, so I propped him in front of the mirror. He really gets a kick out of himself, and therefore thoroughly enjoys looking at himself in any sort of reflective surface. This one doesn't have any self esteem issues, that's for sure!

So I called up Rick, the guy who cuts my hair, and he said to bring him on in. I told him when we got there that I only wanted the front cut, but he agreed with Matt and said we should cut it all the way around. I said Ooooookey dokey, I trust ya! Finn was actually pretty cooperative (for a 10 month old) and Rick was done in about 3 minutes. Rick's roommate who works at his salon was sweet enough to take some pictures and to grab a few spare strands to keep.

Not the happiest face.....I think he was kinda over it by this time! 

Thanks Rick, it looks awesome! And yes, he looks like a big boy, but it also shows off that cute little face and those blue eyes. Just another milestone.
