Another First

The first haircut! I've been bugging J for about 2 months now to let me get Kate's hair cut. He put up a little fight a first because he wanted her to look like a baby for as long as she could and knew that a haircut would definitely take that away. Over the past couple of weeks he softened his stance and said I could do it. So, I jumped all over that and called Aunt LeLe and made an appointment for Monday (which is extra special because she is on maternity leave AND the salon is usually closed on Mondays, but not for our Kate!). Aunt Erica, Ella, Heather, Steven, and Cole all came for support and to take pictures. Once we were all there and settled the process began...

We definitely need a cape for this job!



Checking ourselves out in the mirror. Look at those locks...it's the last time you are going to see them!



Discussing the length and style.



The first cut!



Look at how good I am being!



We used candy (see the little green treat in her hand?) as needed.



She absolutely hated looking down, hence my "assistance".



Then we used books for distractions.



And we are finished! Now, we are proud to present ... Kate's new hairdo!



Isn't it cute? By the way, J was right, it makes her look soooo much older. She is definitely an official toddler now, no mistaking her for a baby anymore!



I'll post some more pictures tomorrow after a bath and some styling. We've had enough adventure for one day today!
