First Haircut


Yes, we did it. We finally cut Jacob's hair! I have to admit, I am a little sad to see his locks go. I really loved his curls, but it's all my fault that we had to cut his hair. You see, I made the horrible mistake of making a silly comment at dinner the week before last. Derek, Jacob, and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I swooped Jacob's hair over to the side and said, "Look, hunny! If Jacob had a barrette in his hair, he would make a really pretty little girl"! Big mistake. Huge. Derek came home the following day and said we were going to cut his hair. He said he couldn't get the image of Jacob in a dress out of his mind!


So, we took our boy to Cool Cuts inside Toys 'R' Us, and they did a fantastic job! Jacob was such a big boy. We were absolutely so proud of him - he didn't cry or flinch one time! However, I got teary-eyed watching his hair get cut. I know, I'm such a bawler, but I can't help but think that we were moving a step beyond babyhood and entering little boy territory. I don't even want to think of how I'll be when he starts school!


Here are some photos of our big boy. I know, Grammi T., you are probably so sad to hear we cut his hair! I'm sorry, it's all my fault. =)
