The Haircut Story

This is the story of Micah's first haircut.
Once upon a time, 15-month-old Micah's hair was getting a little crazy:
....so his mom decided it was time for a haircut. She put him in his high chair with a laptop playing his favorite Baby Einstein DVD in front of him. Here's what the front looked like Before:
and the back Before:

His mom also gave him something to lick and keep his hands busy, as this was a tip suggested to her. However, she didn't have a sucker, so she foolishly used a chocolate-covered peppermint stick that she had in her Christmas candy stash. This turned out to be little of a distraction, because as it turned out, the chocolate melted all over Micah's hands, and then falling hair stuck to it, causing said hair to end up in Micah's mouth....causing him to rub his face to get the unpleasant hair out. Thus, it only made a huge mess:

As it turns out, Micah hates getting his haircut about as much as his daddy does. Every time his mom would comb some hair up and hold it between her fingers, poised to cut, he would whine and pull his head away, resulting in a long, frustrating ordeal. You can tell by his face how much fun he's having:

It's really a good thing that the plan all along was to give Micah a proper mullet, because half a haircut is really all he could handle at once. Here it is in all it's glory--business in the front and party in the back:
And now the Brown family has a white trash baby:
And a good-looking one, at that!

HOw fun!!! I just gave Aaron his first haircut ( he is 3 1/2 months old) and he did fairly well!! I sat him in his bumbo seat and besides him moving around as a baby does he did great! There are a few rough patches but it looks way better than before because it was soo long! When he was born it was hanging over his ears and over the back of his shirt!! anyway good luck on finishing the haircut!
