I had avoided getting Alex's first haircut. I knew he would look older once we did it and I wasn't ready for him to look like a toddler. But really his hair was getting too long. And after his uncles said it looked a little too "business in the front, party in the back", we knew it was time.
I wasn't brave enough to try the job myself. He's so squirmy, wanting to get his hands on everything, that I wasn't very confident about having a scissors in my hands. (This is also making taking pictures a lot more difficult. As soon as he sees the camera, he wants to play with it.) So we went to The Barbershop. I had called ahead and made an appointment and asked for someone who was good with squirmy one-year-olds. We got Jordan. And she was great. She certainly had her work cut out for her. Alex thought it was a torture session. I have no idea how she ever cut it evenly - but she did! Our apologies to all of the other patrons in the shop.
In the end, he does look a little older, but he just looks so handsome! I love it.

| Before |
 |
| I thought one of us would hold him while the other took pictures. That lasted about two minutes. |
 |
| We of course brought a few items to entertain him. |
 |
| But really most of the appointment went like this.... |
 |
| In the end, I think it turned out well. |
 |
| Later in the day - a lot happier. |
 |
| It looks so cute in the back. |
