Ashton's first haircut

July 2010

Anyone who knows our sweet baby, Ashton, knows his crazy hair has always been part of his charm. For this reason, I was hesitant to cut it. Little boys look so much more grown up after their first haircut, and I wasn't ready for Ashton to be a big boy yet. Finally, around 10 months, enough people made comments about it needing to be cut, that I finally relented.

Before the 'cut.' He has no idea what is about to happen to him.

Cute, slobbery face.

When our boys are little, the haircuts have to happen in the high chair so that they are contained. Jared is very patient with them and a decent barber, so he is always the lucky one.

Of course, there are a lot of tears in the process. This picture looks like, "Mom, why are you taking pictures instead of saving me from this torture?!?"

After. Sad eyes, still recovering, but happy to be free from the high chair.
