Owen's First Haircut

Owen had his first haircut on Saturday. He was starting to develop a mullet and his bangs were hanging in his eyes. I attempted to cut it myself but I just made Owen mad and his mullet look worse. We took him to Ed's hair dresser. She was excited to cut his hair; it was really sweet. Ed has been going to her since before I was pregnant so she has watched Owen grow up. Overall, Owen did well but he seemed pretty relieved when it was over.


Sometimes he was nice and calm, fascinated by what was happening.


But most of the time he was squiggly and unhappy. We were pretty impressed that the hair dresser was able to do such a good job with a moving target. When we were finished, they placed a lock of his hair in a card that read "baby's first haircut."


Here is Owen post-haircut. Looking less like a baby and more like a little boy. And a handsome little boy at that.

(Note: The action figure in Owen's hand is a police officer that came with a cop car he got for Christmas. His name is Jason. He's named after our favorite Washington cop.)
