goodbye sweet baby curls

What do you think of our new hairdo's?

Yesterday Levi and I had a little mama/son date to get our hair cut.

Don't worry if you can't really see the difference on me.

No Locks of Love this time...I just got a trim.

But I reluctantly decided it was time for Levi to have a haircut too.

It was time to say goodbye to those sweet baby curls...

or at least his daddy thought it was time.

Levi was very unsure about the whole thing.

He didn't like the cape.

He had to have one arm out at all times.

My friend Aimee was so sweet with him.

{She is the best!}

And her little girl stayed close and fed him fruit snacks.

It did the trick for a while.

He sat perfectly still.

He was completely quiet.

And there was no sign of the smile that usually covers his face.

Very unlike him.

And just before it was time to cut the back and say goodbye to his sweet baby curls...

his big pouty lip came out and he cried and cried and cried.

I had to hold him for the rest of the haircut.

And then he sat on my lap for almost my entire haircut.

He sat so still and barely made a noise.

The haircut must have been as traumatic for him as it was for me to say goodbye to those curls!

He recovered quickly though once we left.

Here he is last night playing with his new big boy haircut.

He is seeming more and more like a BIG brother everyday.
