First haircut

We've been joking about Samuel's hair for the past month or two.  It was so long  that the hair on the top of his head just stood straight up, it was over his ears and the front was almost down to his eyebrows.  I recently started calling him Einstein.  Dan however, thought he looked cute and thought we should wait until his first birthday.  But with that still being 4 months away, I knew there was no way he was going to make it.  One morning, we both finally agreed that it was time.

We decided to cut it ourselves with our trusty 'ole clippers.  First we had to get his hair cutting station setup.

He really wasn't very concerned with what he was doing there.  After he was in the chair Dan turned the clippers on so he could hear it.  Then Dan touched it to his feet and hands so he wouldn't be scared.  And he wasn't... he just sat there waiting to see what happened next.  And, here's the first swipe!

There was something much more interesting going on anyway.  To his delight, there was a black cord dangling in front of him that he decided he wanted to catch.

That kept him entertained long enough to finish.  We went straight from the hair cutting chair to the bath to get all the little hairs off him. 

And without further adieu...
