Hannah's 1st real haircut

When Hannah was 6 months old, she had her first semi-haircut--meaning that we just cut of a few strands that were left of her dark baby hair as her blond hair was starting to grow in. We hadn't cut it at all since and had been thinking about doing it for quite some time in order to straighten her hair out and help it get thicker. We found the perfect person to cut her hair--a lady in our ward who cuts hair in her home and is great with kids (she has 7 of her own and is our Stake Primary President). We finally made an appointment a few days ago, and we are pleased with the results.


Some before pics:

 Here's Hannah right after her bath a couple of nights before. (I love the cute owl jammies she picked out for herself at CostCo.)

Her hair was getting pretty dang long but scraggly.

 One last before pic right before her haircut. Hannah freaked out about sitting alone on the chair, so I had to hold her. But the dum-dum sucker she got is what really cheered her up.

During pics:

Hannah happily sucked on her sucker throughout her haircut.

She also warmed right up to Laurel and loved chatting with her. Unfortunately, Hannah had to turn her head to look at Laurel every time she had something to say, which made things difficult at times.

 But Laurel was incredibly patient with Hannah and didn't seem to mind.

And Hannah ended up having a lot of fun. :)

After pics:

 Hannah's hair ended up a couple of inches shorter and much straighter across.

She continued enjoying her sucker long after her haircut was over. (She doesn't take after her mommy with that--I'm a sucker biter.)

 When Hannah's hair dried after her haircut, it kind of flipped out on its own.

But by morning, Hannah's hair had decided to curl under on its own.

And it's still long enough to put in ponytails. Cute!

We are proud that Hannah did so well with her 1st haircut! She sure is a cutie!!!
