Haircuts :(

For a while now Carter has been asking for short hair. Zach's sister, Jennifer, had her wedding in January and had specifically requested that Carter's blond curls be there so I had told Carter that he'd have to wait until after Jenn's wedding. Well, four days after Jenn's wedding Carter was sitting on my lap when his head whipped around and with a twinkle in his eye he said, "It's after Jennifer's wedding. Now I can have short hair like Daddy!" We were in Utah at the time and our flight back to Chicago was leaving that afternoon so I told him he'd have to wait. Well, on January 30th the time had come for a short haircut. Here are the before and afters

BEFORE:




AFTER:





Can you tell Carter's haircut was a bit of a process? Yeah, he looked like a little girl with a bob cut initially so I called my sister-in-law, Brie, to get some tips and proceeded on. I took the "after" pictures right after the haircuts before putting them in the bathtub so they're not the best. In the near future I'll post some better pictures. I made a few adjustments to Carter's cut and it has settled nicely. Zach and I like it now.

That's cute that he wanted to be like his daddy! (I bet you miss his blond curls, though...;) )

Looks like Austin still has a few curls left :) Good job on the cuts! Love the scowl on Carter. Too funny.

I hope you saved some of those. Good job doing it at home! That's my mom!
