Not Just a Trim

Before

Kaden received his first full haircut yesterday.  I had trimmed the front and sides in February, but this time he got the electric clippers.  It was a little bit tragic for me.  My baby looks more like a little boy now, and it totally changed his appearance.  It is crazy!  He did so well though.  He sucked on my finger for awhile, and watched Daddy take pictures for awhile.  But he didn't fuss or cry at all.  My mom cut it for me this first time while I held him as we were not sure how he would handle the clippers.  His cousin Malaki hates them with a passion.  He didn't have enough hair to start with them as early.  So hopefully Kaden won't despise getting his hair cut when he his Malaki's age.  

We used the longest attachment and cut it all the same length to make it easy.  You can see one of his first locks of hair on my arm.  We cut 1 - 2 inches off.

He is such a good little trouper.  The pictures don't show it very well, but cutting his hair shorter made his bald spots fade.  He seems to be growing some hair back, but it is short and very light.  Having the long dark hair cut off makes his little head look much more uniform.  He doesn't have that comb over look anymore.  His hair looks almost blonde now.  So now we will really have to wait and see what it turns out like.  I'm still hoping he will keep some of the red.

What are you doing to me Grandma?

I couldn't believe we cut off that much hair!!!  And there was more on the floor!

He was getting a little bit tired of being still...ish.

We finished up with a little bit of scissor work.  I am still working on some scissor trimming today.  He was wanting to look at the scissors and bounce again.  So we let him off the hook.  He looks so different!

I think his cheeks look even bigger now... if that is possible!
