Harper's 1st haircut

I finally talked Jim into cutting Harper's hair.  Actually the conversation went something like this:

Me: I don't care what you say, we are taking Harper for a haircut today.
Jim: (silence)

I have been talking about it constantly over the last few weeks and take the time to point out all the times it looks mullet-like and awful.  He finally gave in so after lunch at Panera we went to a salon I read about online that has a kid's 1st haircut certificate and kiddie chairs to ride in.

The stylist had the personality of a glob of toothpaste and barely spoke to us but I think she did a good job.  I mean there aren't any huge chunks missing and it looks pretty even.  I didn't give much in terms of what I was looking for in a 1st haircut and this is just what she did.  It looks like equal parts of cute toddler girl bob and amish boy haircut.  She didn't wet it or even comb it when we were done so we washed it tonight and brushed it.  Fingers crossed it looks cute in the morning!!

Here are some more pics from the outing.  And how cute is her dress?  Uncle Nanny made it for her birthday.  I just love it!!  Although I am kicking myself for not taking pictures of the diaper cover that matches and it super cute!!  So if any of my aunts are reading this, can you show Nan the blog next time she visits and then tell her she needs to get the internet.    And while I am giving shout outs, how about those shoes?  My mother in law found them for $2 and they are awesome for 3 reasons.  They fit, they are adorable, and they don't look like I trash picked them.  Woohoo!!  But they are really easy for her to take off so I need to be on my game or else she will throw it over the side of the stroller when I am not looking.


I guess in my head I thought she would just sit and totally cooperate.  Not the case.  She went ballistic trying to climb back out of the police car and didnt want that cape anywhere near her.




I guess a lollipop will do.


We switched spots because she wasn't too interested in me and I was hoping Dad would do the trick, and he did.  She loves him!!






Checking herself out, haha.


There was a TV in this kid's section and she didn't look at it for even a second, she just isn't interested in tv like a certain someone else I know.  I asked Brady if he would like to go have his haircut there and he said no but he would go back to watch tv.


All done!!
