First Haircut

Today Lilly had her first haircut. A friend recommended a salon here in town that specifically caters to kids. Although they did a great job on the actual haircut I was a little disappointed overall. I had asked the lady to save the first locks of hair (assuming that this was a typical request) and immediately she started cutting away as Lilly's hair fell to the floor piece by piece. It was a bit awkward to go around afterward picking up the pieces but I did manage to gather enough to display in her baby book. Not quite the experience I was hoping for but at least Lilly managed to walk out with a decent haircut.

The first snip.


Distracted by the car horn and lights.


Unsure of exactly what is going on.

I would like to grow her hair out past her shoulders. However, her hair seems to grow pretty slow so that could take a while. Once she gets older I guess it will be up to her. Glad she is still little so I get to decide but makes me sad to think she will be making those kind of decisions in a few short years! :(

So cute. I actually cut Addyson's hair the other day. Just a few snips but I wanted to save every strand so I know what you mean. Very cute hair. :)
