First Haircut

Kate finally relented this week and agreed that Jack's hair was in dire need of a trimming. She was reluctant because a haircut would be another sign that he was on his way to becoming a "big boy." (Big boy as in growing up, not Big Boy as in a portly fellow hefting a burger who stands outside of a certain restaurant chain.) The problem was no so much that it was long, but rather unruly. He had wings on the side of his head (as seen in the pictures below.) I was calling him Baby Skywalker; with the blond hair and perpetually wind-blown look, he was starting to look like a baby Luke in Star Wars. Kate decided that it would be better for her to do the trimming for his first. She says she had more practical reasons in mind, but I think she had decided that if someone was going to cut her baby's hair for the first time, it had to be her. (That is, she wouldn't tackle the hairdresser who was trying to do the deed.) Even so, it was still a rather traumatic experience for Mommy. With his haircut, he is quite the dashing little fellow!
