The first haircut

We broke down and took Jacob in for his first haircut on Saturday. His hair was always in eyes and at times it was looking like it was out of control, at other times it didn't seem too long at all.
Here is his before shot:

We took him to Cool Cuts for Kids because we knew that they would cater to a little one, but I really think that $18 is too much to spend to get his hair cut. I guess we'll figure out what to do next time when the time comes.

He loved the little car they had him sit in.
In fact, he didn't pay any attention to the little TV that was playing right in front of him, he just kept steering the little firetruck and trying to reach forward to ring the bell. I think that Jacob may be a little smaller than most of the kids that come in because they brought over an extra cushion to put in the bottom of the car so his feet wouldn't be dangling. That may have been a mistake though because he kept trying to stand up and crawl over the top to get to the bell.
We were definitely the cheesy parents there with both a video camera and a still shot camera. After a little while Jacob started to get super frustrated that we weren't just letting him play with the car so I put the camera away and had to hold him back so he could get his hair cut. Justin got all the fun and commotion on video, but I can't remember how to transfer the video images to the computer.

And some after shots (sorry about his runny nose - yuck!).

Very handsome! I love it when little kids get fresh haircuts.

So cute - you were right about him looking more grown-up with a haircut. All my boys need haircuts right now - that's what we are doing tomorrow night.

You might want to start practicing doing it yourself. You can save a LOT of money that way. But that does mean all my boys, including Adam pretty much always get the same haircut.
