First Haircut

Sunday we took a family trip to the local kid's hair salon- both girls enjoyed their first hair cut!

Amelia having her first hair cut at 3.5 years gave the stylist quite a laugh.  We had to explain that she only started growing hair after she turned 2.  She actually still has some areas where hair is just starting to grow.  Amelia loved every minute of it.  I am sure it was nice that she was able to watch Thomas the Train during the 5 minute cut and was sent home with a zebra slap bracelet and dum dum lollypop.  What a day!



The finished product:


Baby A's turn...


I love that the stylist had to prop her up on a pillow so she could reach the back of her neck - this is essentially all that was cut.  Audrey was born with darker hair and this length of hair we fondly named the "ducktail" sprouted from the back of her head - you can kind of see it in the picture above.  Anyhow, her actual hair is growing in blonde, so the ducktail has an ombre feel with the darker birth hair at the bottom and her new blond hair at the top.  We were able to save the clipping for her baby book. 



Audrey loves being groomed.  I love her face in the picture above - smiling and enjoying every minute.    Whenever she's done with her bath at home, she coos while I put lotion on her and closes her eyes and smiles while I run the brush through her baby hair.  She's too funny.
