First Hair Cut

Before I started

Kaden is one of those lucky babies that was born with a lot of hair... and kept it.  The only problem that I have found with this is that he is only 10 weeks old and his hair covers his ears and is just barely above his eyes.  So... I braved my fear of cutting him, and gave him his first hair cut on February 28th.  

I was hoping to do this while he was asleep, but right as I was getting ready to start his eyes popped open and he looked up at me.  So much for that plan.

I had lots of help.  My sister, Jeni, was taking pictures for me (the only reason I hadn't cut his hair earlier was because I needed someone there to take pictures of this monumental moment!).  Lillie, my niece, supervised and tried to keep his attention with 'her bears'.

Are you sure you know what you're doing Mom?

Kaden behaved wonderfully while I cut around his left ear and only squirmed a little bit when I cut his bangs.

Then came the right ear... by this time he had had enough!  So I picked him up and tried to cuddle him close and keep him still, while my mom cut around his right ear.  We completed the job, just don't look too closely at him!  It is definitely not a very even hair cut.  

He looks older with his new hair cut.
