First Haircut

Addison took another step in becoming a big girl today. She got her first haircut EVER!

I've put this off for months and months mostly because I didn't want her to grow up so fast. But, once we lost sight of her eyes from her shaggy bangs, I knew we couldn't go any longer. I came prepped with lots of distractions for her just in case she wouldn't hold still. Thankfully, due to our wonderful hairdresser/friend, no distractions were needed.

It was a party from beginning to end and Addison loved being doted on and admiring herself in front of the mirror. Plus playing with the extra combs and clips didn't hurt either. She smiled and cheesed for every picture and was so proud of herself for being such a big girl. The hairdresser and I were equally as impressed with her. Just a few quick snips later we were done and she got her very own sucker to enjoy for all of her good behavior. We even got to take a certificate with a lock of hair home with us to save for her baby book. Here are a few pics of the big girl and the big moment!

The beginning of the process. So far so good. Say good-bye to that shaggy mane.

The end result...Addison and Lindsey. We couldn't stop laughing at her cheesing/no-eyes smile.

And the final masterpiece-there are those eyes! Doesn't she look like such a little girl now? She's growing up too fast!
