Month 11: Hello Great Clips

Daniel's first birthday is right around the corner (three days!) so in preparation, we took him to get his first (real) haircut. We have given him five or six haircuts at home, but this was the first time we took him somewhere "official".

Overall, it was a success - Daniel sat still on the booster seat they provided, and looked adorable with the little drape around his neck. He sat exceptionally still while they sprayed his head and started trimming, and when he did start to squirm, the woman cutting his hair brandished the ultimate weapon: Daniel's first Tootsie Pop. It was love at first sight, and he sat motionless for the rest of the haircut, slurping away at his beloved sucker.

Aside from ignoring my "Don't touch the chops!" plea, his haircut turned out great. His hair grows so fast that I'm sure the chop she completely cut off will grow back soon enough. I got a bunch of cute pics of the occasion, and I'm sure that the haircut will make Daniel's birthday photos that much more socially acceptable. :)
