Elijah's First Haircut

So the time has finally come.. we had to chop off those baby locks. His hair was getting into his eyes, and tickling his ears and he was scratching them. He is also very sensitive to heat and the long hair was just making him sweat more and he was always so uncomfortable.

I decided to cut it myself instead of taking him to a professional. I have always cut my oldest's hair myself (except once..), so I thought I should have no problem cutting Eli's hair too. It actually came out pretty cute I think. He looks more like a little boy now and less like my little baby, that's the only sad part. I saved up some of the clippings for his baby book of course. :) He looks so different though, it'll take some getting used to. He did really well considering he's a baby. He wasn't that great at holding his head very still, but very few tears were shed, mostly mine lol. Here are a few pictures I took during the experience... Can you believe the difference?!?
