Baby's First Haircut

Disclaimer:  Some of these photos are a bit overedited and uneven.  I recently discovered the CoffeeShop Blog's free actions for Photoshop Elements and I"m still getting the hang of them.  They are a great add to my usual Pioneer Woman Actions, though!

So on Saturday our little man had his first haircut.


I could get all sentimental or be all sad but really?  It was beyond time:

He passed the cute crazy baby hair sometime around Fourth of July when my brother commented that he looked like a hockey player.  Since then his mullet has become as long and free as one you would see at Walmart.  In 1990.  Also he had this weird stick-y up part in the back that kindof made him look like a rooster:

I debated just chopping off the back myself but babies flail alot.  So we took him to our local barber shop (the one at Kamms Corners.  I can't find a website... or even a name but Matt's been going there for years) and let the professionals fix him up.

I don't usually go for the black and white but with the stripes and the barbershop thing I'm kindof digging it.

The end result?  ADORABLE. 

He looks so much older.  Like a little boy and not just a baby.  Although perhaps some of that is contextual:

I may only be 6 months old but I'm better at this football thing than half of the Browns.

Yay for haircuts!
