After-Bath Hair-Do!

 Someday she'll have more hair, but for now, we're loving her mohawk.

Peek-A-Boo

One of Gavin's favorite things to do right now ~ playing Peek-A-Boo on the couch with either blankets or the pillows. So much fun! I love the pure joy on his face (and that these were taken prior to his haircut so the mohawk is rather adorable!)

In case you didn't believe me....

We got video proof of how much Gavin hates getting his hair cut today. Last time was such a disaster that we decided to try a new place today. Haircuts for Peanuts. It was an adorable little place with trains and circus animals painted all over the wall. He got his hair cut in his own little room with a tv and got to pick what movie he wanted to watch. Thomas, of course! We thought this would distract him and he'd do better. We were wrong.

Jarrod got the first minute and a half on video. We probably spent 20 minutes on the whole cut, and it actually got worse after the camera went off. I ended up sitting in the chair and holding him, while his hands gripped the cape she put on me and he screamed bloody murder. But, in the end, he looks adorable! Pictures to come soon!

Just in case you're curious....

...yogurt does NOT make good hair gel! Gavin tested it out for everyone. :)

What do Santa and the barber have in common?

Gavin is scared to death of both of them! You saw how our trip to visit Santa turned out. He loves reading about him and seeing pictures of him, but the actual visit...not so much. Well, even though Gavin doesn't have a ton of hair, we decided to go ahead and get his first haircut today. The back was getting pretty long and shaggy. I noticed it in pictures I took of cookie making....it was becoming a mullet! I put off the first haircut as long as could for two reasons. 1.) I wanted you to be able to see a difference with his first haircut. 2.) After they get their first haircut, they look so much older! I wasn't ready for my little baby to look like a little man. But, we thought it would be nice to have it trimmed up before Christmas. Here's a picture of the back before we left. I told him to go smell the tree in order to get him to stand still long enough to get the shot!
When we got there, he was in such a good mood. We let someone go ahead of us, because Jarrod wanted his barber to do the cut. But, when he still wasn't finished with his client, we went ahead and let this woman cut Gavin's hair. He was already unsure as soon as she came near him with a comb. (But isn't he adorable in his little cape???)

And the rest of the shots speak for themselves....he was not happy with us nor her. I took candy canes, race cars, books, and Dog Dog to try and distract him. Nothing worked!

Finally finished!

Back at home - the after shot! So cute! :)

Now let's hope it doesn't grow too fast because I do not want to go back there for a long time!

Flashback Friday

Remember when I was a blonde...

Well...not anymore! So, what did I do??? I still don't know how I feel about it. I think it's a little dark, but Jarrod loves it and keeps telling me to give it time. I brought up the idea of going darker because I didn't want to have to worry about my roots and doing highlights as often. Believe it or not, this is closer to my natural color...I just haven't seen my natural color in probably 15 years! I love how Heidi went back to her natural color, and it looks great on her. When I asked Jarrod if he thought I should get my hair lighter or darker and he said darker, I was shocked. No turning back now...it's done! :) I know Tori doesn't like it :) I love that I have friends that will be honest with me **Thanks, Tori!!!**
