Vance's First Hair Cut

Yesterday I left work a little early to meet Web & Vance at Lotus Salon for Vance's FIRST hair cut. I had made an appointment a couple of weeks ago, but then decided to cancel it b/c I was not "ready" for this tiny yet huge milestone. However, Web convinced me that Vance's hair needed to be trimmed and I knew in my heart he was right. We decided to take him to the lady who cuts our hair and she did a tremendous job ;)! You better believe that I kept a good pile of it to put in his baby book!!!

Please enjoy the pictures below...


Vance and I before the first snip! He wanted to sit with me, so Web opted to be the photographer ;). Thong (pronounced tong) put some detangler in his hair to make the cutting a little easier.


The first snip! He loved watching his hair fall...


It took a little love from me, a yummy sucker, and some hair clips to keep him still =)!


All done! I was so proud of him for being so good and me for not crying!!!


Vance and I after his tubby! He has begun smiling for the camera when we say "CHEESE!"


Vance got these two items off of the kitchen table, walked them over to Web, and then proceeded to put them on him! He is too cute!!!

I hope you all have a fabulous day!

A special HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Leigh Ann & Derek Horton ;)!

Yay!!!! I LOVE the hair, they did a great job of not changing his look, just taming the curls! So many times when babies get their hair cut it makes them look less "baby" and more "little boy" but from the pictures, you would never know he had it cut because of the curls. They did great! Web cracks me up in vances get-up - your sweet hunky hubby! I am glad you had a good day beautiful and I am so proud you didn't cry!

How sweet!! They did do a great job trimming his hair. My son will be 11 next month, so it's been awhile since his first haircut, but I do remember it. I'm glad you kept a lot of his hair for the baby book! What a neat memory.

Awwww! This made me teary! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vance's haircut. You are right, it is a BIG milestone! He seems to have made it through the first time beautifully. I'm telling you a lollipop does the trick for SO many things. Seriously, I think Vance may be the most photogenic baby I have ever seen. He is always smiling so big! Yeah, I think you just texted me... :) Look at you makin' my day!

Love the hair cut. She really did a good job (not that he needed a hair cut, though). He's just a baby!! However, I know we have to do these things. I remember Ken's first haircut. It was so sad but exciting all at the same time. You're little man is adorable.
