first haircut

This past weekend we hit a new first with our little man... the first haircut! Zach has been proudly displaying a mullet for some time and his hair officially hit his eyes in the front. After much talking, we (more like I) finally gave in and we took him to Snip Its.

Zach didn't have a very good morning nap that morning, and then combine that with him not liking to be constrained and sit still for more than 3 seconds, it didn't go as smoothly as I anticipated. I think he was also a little concerned with having a strange lady really close to him and touching him. It took much toy distraction, book reading, pacifier sucking, cell phone playing to keep this little one happy and distracted. But he we made it through and actually did a good job all things considered.

I wasn't really emotionally ready for this haircut. I didn't realize that he would lose his 'baby' look and really look like a little boy. I got a little teary eyed during the haircut and it still takes me back when I see him walking around with his big boy haircut.
