Jacob's First Haircut

The big day for Jacob's first haircut was long overdue! On humid days his hair would curl into adorable rings, but on not-so-humid days, it just looked like a messy mullet! So last Tuesday, Jason and I loaded up Jacob for a trip downtown to the cutest old barber shop around! Here's the before...

When we got there, there were 2 people ahead of us. Jacob did good waiting, until the barber used the blower on the neck of the first patron. The noise totally freaked him out!!! He started shaking and crying. So as the next patron got his haircut, we walked outside, sang songs and read a few books. We walked back in the door just as the hair blower whizzed again, and Jacob started crying again. We got him calm and ready for the big chair... as long as he was in my lap.
Notice the animal crackers? That was the only way he stayed semi-calm!

The finished product! Jacob aged over the 10 minutes he was in the chair! No longer a baby, but a big boy!!! Notice all the hair on his shirt... there was NO WAY that blower was getting anywhere near him! And, a big thanks to Jason for taking pics!
Jacob by the barber pole - shirtless because the hair on his shirt was too itchy!Daddy and Jacob outside the shop - 2 new haircuts, 2 sweet boys!

Oh, he looks so big! (And you look great, too!:)) I remember H had that mullet going on, and I had such a hard time getting that first haircut b/c I loved the humid day baby curl, but yeah, people were starting to talk!;)

He looks like such a big boy now. His new hair cut looks good on him.
