Still trying to catch up...
(Colden actually got his first haircut about a month ago)

We were postponing his first haircut because we had waited such a long for him to actually get his hair - we didn't want to see it disappear!
As you can see, he still didn't have much hair at his first birthday party:
At my birthday party (3 months later), we realized that his hair had gotten a little out of control:
It only took us an additional month to finally make his haircut appointment. We knew just where to take him. Believe it or not, BC (before Colden), Mike and I went country line-dancing every week (please don't judge us, we had a blast!). One of our friends from line-dancing owns his own barbershop....
(Wow - even from this distance you can see the hair over Colden's ears!!)
The barbershop was nothing fancy. It had one chair. One sink. One mirror. And one really nice (and patient) friend.
BEFORE:
Wild man.
Yikes.
DURING:
(this was an experience)
Trying to take the cape off
Sitting on daddy's lap (for comfort) and eating goldfish (as a distraction)
Neither really worked and Colden decided that he would much rather stand than sit quietly
I think he was done by this point anyways. So...slither away, Little Man. Slither away.
All in all, Colden was a good boy for his first haircut. Luckily, our friend has lightening-fast scissor-hands and a lot of patience. :-)
Colden loved his new haircut and kindly said thank you with hugs and kisses:
AFTER:
So handsome
What? Still long, you say? Well, like I said...we were so proud of him for actually being able to grow hair, that we left all of the length on the top and just tidied up around his ears, in the back and in the front. :-)
