Elijah’s First Haircut

Elijah still had some of the hair he was born with on the very top of his head and it was a good four to five inches long.  He’d also begun to have some hanging over his ears and starting to curl in the back.  Since I’m already am responsible for 3 heads of hair, 3 sets of teeth, and 100 nails (including cats!), I like low maintenance hair that behaves itself without too much effort, so it was time for his first trim. 

I did it July 28th on a whim after dinner while he kept himself entertained by feeding himself veggies in applesauce and a homemade fruit popsicle.  He still tried to stop me a few times by rubbing his food covered hands through his hair and shaking his head when I trimmed the front.  He’s a funny boy!

Yum! Peas with a little applesauce…the distraction.

You can’t really tell, but he has a major comb over and a little hanging down on his ears.

What’s goin’ on up there?

Almost done… The top.

 

The back.

 

One side.

 

And the front. 

Pretty good if I do say so myself!  I love his richly colored hair.
