Brady's First Haircut

"Mommy's Little Monster" sleeping peacefully this past weekend

Welcome to our blog...I finally decided that it was well past time for us to get this started! We've talked about it for months as we are always checking out all of our friends' blogs...but tonight I finally decided to do it. So bear with me as I try to figure this thing out! Well...our little boy is growing up more every day! He got his first haircut today just one day shy of 10 months old. It was getting really long and was in his eyes and over his ears. You can see in his before shots that it was starting to get a little long and it was in his eyes if you didn't have it combed to the side just right! We finally conned his honorary "Aunt" Lisa into cutting his hair even though she kept insisting we had to wait until he was a year old. After we decided to do it, I had some of those mom thoughts of "oh my gosh...my little boy is growing up" and a was little panicked about it all day, but it turned out all right. Jason didn't understand that at all....he said it was just a haircut. Maybe it was the fact that he just started crawling about a month ago, has gotten his first 2 teeth since then, started taking his first steps 5 days ago and I'm afraid he's going to start bringing girls home next week at this rate! Well...ok...maybe that a little bit of an exaggeration...but it's a little scary! I did have to take advantage of his long locks a few days ago by giving him a faux hawk. It actually did turn out pretty cute, even dad had to admit it was cute as he rolled his eyes. So the haircut went well, and although he looks a little more like a little man, the look is kind of growing on me.

These picture were some of our favorites!

Brady blowing raspberries...one of his favorite things to do right now.
Mommy asks him what he thinks of the Wolverines and this is what he says
...of course Daddy asks him what he thinks of the Buckeyes and he says the same thing!
We're both working on trying to get him convinced at an early age!!

Getting ready for the big first cut! We couldn't have asked for a better baby while he was getting his hair cut. He sat so still!

Concentrating hard as Lisa cuts his hair!

What a handsome boy with his new do!
But he does look so grown up!!!
