Nile's 1st Haircut!

Well we finally had to do it. Nile got his first haircut today at 12:30pm. In the past week I had multiple people tell me what a beautiful baby girl I had. Yes his hair was long...ish, and yes it curled, but by no means does that automatically make him a girl! It was just the straw that broke the camels back though. His hair was already in his eyes and ears and at bath time his wet hair reached down between his shoulder blades in the back. Soo this is the hair we started with. Really really getting long.


This is him in his high chair this morning. Glorious curls and all. I was kinda sad to have to cut his hair but it was still all weird lengths as it hadn't been cut since he was born. So the top was long but the crown of his head had shorter hair and the sides and back were very long. It was getting pretty crazy and after a day it got kinda matted especially with the heat this summer. So I called my mom earlier this week and asked her to make an appointment for us with her usual girl Missy at The Avenue Salon in Payson. I had my hair cut there a lot too growing up. So we drove down today and got him all ready. I got in a cape and we got a little one for Nile and started spraying his hair with a little water. He wasn't too keen on that but didn't fuss too much. It wasn't until Missy started cutting that Nile freaked out. He kept his head still for the most part but he cried the entire time. He wasn't too angry until we got out the electric trimmer to do his neck and behind his ears. At that point he started screaming his lungs out. That boy can definitely wail when he wants to, lucky for us that's not too often. I'm really happy with his haircut though, he looks like such a little man. It's adorable. That boy is so cute, it can be hard to concentrate in his presence. I think he definitely looks even more like his father now though. We probably won't have to cut it again for awhile now that it's structured and even, it should grow out pretty well but still look manly, no more mistaken gender for Nile!
