First Year, First Haircut

So there we were, just eating dinner on Thursday night.  Kids were dirty, it was late, and it was time to throw them in the bath.  I was cleaning up, and Cameron decided that it would be a great time to give Landon his first haircut.

Whaaaaat?

I mean, agreed, Landon was definitely in need of a little trim.  He was rocking this not-so-attractive mullet, and as cute as he is, the mullet just wasn't cutting it (no pun intended).


But to be honest, I like to prepare for these kinds of things.  You know, have the kids looking a little more put together, have it at a time when we aren't in the pre-bedtime craziness, and perhaps bring him to a place that specializes in cutting the hair of super wiggly one-year olds, youknowwhatI'msayin'????

But Cameron was not to be deterred, and before I knew it, he had pulled out the scissors, some water and a comb, and was ready to get to work.  So all I could do was roll with it, and get some pictures.



Thanks goodness for some M&M's and a big sister that helped with distracting the little guy...







I wasn't too sure how the finished result would turn out.  While it isn't perfect, it definitely beats the mullet.  I think he looks pretty handsome, but I am not biased or anything (don't mind the dinner / M&M mess all over his face and shirt!).  ;) 



Now could my kids pleeeeease stop growing up?!?

Things I love about this post:
1) Miley wearing her princess dress at the dinner table : )
2) Landon's juicy cheeks when he smiles
3) The fact that you bribed him with M&M's (I'm totally gonna try that with Cam!)
4) Baby faux hawk : )

Cameron did a great job. When I gave Cam his first haircut it was so bad I couldn't even post pics. Good think it's winter and he could wear lots of hats : )

Not bad! If it was my head - I would have kept the mullet. Mullets should be back any day now.

Way to go Cam!

Nice job Cameron! Landon doesn't look like he minded the trim one bit (when we trim our boys hair the child protective service neighbor stops by to check on us). Such a handsome little guy (mullet or not)... love the little faux hawk! I suppose it is time for Cruze to ditch the mullet now...
