Just a Little Off the Top

Today was Jakob's first real haircut. His entire sweet, long life has been spent under the novice, learning scissors and clippers of yours truly. Poor kid. Jakob doesn't do so well, though, with new experiences, so we didn't want to take our first-timer into the barber shop/salon thingy during a peak time. You all know I don't do well with menacing glances in public places! So, anyway, this morning Jared needed a haircut also (as we know that we are about to be taking a LOT of pictures!) so we decided that first thing in the morning would be a great time. Much to our surprise, Jakob did awesome! He had a few moments with 'that look' in his eye, but he was so great! He flirted with the stylist...a sure sign that he is comfortable! He has been checking himself out in windows, mirrors, and clean cars all day long. So cute! When all was said and done, this was his response, "Wow. I look four." There you have it.

Not so sure about this, mom.

This is my sad face. Remember? Goodness, he looks apprehensive!

Daddy's got a death grip!

Seriously! Jared totally has him in a head lock! Whatever it takes!

All that for a blue Dum Dum?! Oh, well...I do look four.

He does look quite handsome, and I must say his haircut does make him look much older!
