My first hair cut!! (by Sir Scooters)

P1110643

Hi Everyone!!  Guess what?!  Last month, Mommy gave me my very first hair cut!

P1110653

And you know what?  She really didn’t want to!  After all, I was only 10 months old and… and… and… I was still her baby!!

P1110642

But then.  My hair got super long in the back.   And it started curling.  And then one of the neighbors down the street thought I was a girl.

P1110637

So that was that!

P1110656

And here I am!

P1110657

Getting sprayed in the face with water.

P1110658

By my older brother.

P1110659

And absolutely LOVING it!!

P1110663

Holy smokes!

P1110669

Why haven’t we done this before, Mom???

P1110670

This is the greatest thing EVER!!

P1110732

Wow!

P1110731

Mom even got a new drape just to use with us kids!  I like it!

P1110738

Actually.

P1110746

On second thought.

P1110747

I hate it.

P1110748

Absolutely hate it.

P1110749

Can I leave now?

P1110751

Hey, what’s that?

P1110754

Ooooh!  Mommy’s feeling terrible about making me cry.

P1110755

So she’s letting me play with forbidden toys!

P1110761

And look!

P1110762

Room service!

P1110763

(Ha!  Mommy loves this picture!!)

P1110850

And then suddenly.

P1110821

I was a brand new little man!

P1110776

And Mommy didn’t cut me a bit!  Even though she contracted fourteen ulcers for fear of it! :)

P1110854

After my bath, she needed some snuggles.

P1110855

“Hey there, little Scooters,” she said softly, “Will you please forgive me for making you cry so much?”

P1110862

Mmmm, let me think about it…

P1110857

Aw shucks, of COURSE I forgive you, Mom!

P1110895

And there you have it!  We both (barely) survived my very first hair cut!

Once upon a time…

PICT0007 edited

… There was a sweet little boy who spent his first night home from the hospital.

PICT0002

He was a little burrito.

PICT0008

And he was only 3 days old.

PICT0094

Then, over time, this little boy grew in size and strength.  And without asking permission…

PICT0092

He broke out of his single-layered burrito.

So, he graduated…

PICT0085

To a big double-layered burrito.

PICT0112 edited big

And every time his layers were unwrapped…

PICT0073 edited big

He would streeeeeeeetch.

PICT0104 edited big

And ruuuuub.

PICT0103 edited big

Both eyes.

PICT0135 edited big

And smiiiiile!

PICT0156 edited big

Then his big brother would jump in for lots of laughs.

PICT0126 edited big

He was only 5 months old.

PICT0033

Then one day,

PICT0032

Without asking permission again,

PICT0015

He broke out of his double-wrapped burrito.

PICT0011

He was just too big and strong.

So, he graduated…

PICT0024

To an extra large sleep sack.

PICT0034

He was only 5.5 months old.

PICT0086

And the little burrito and stretching and rubbing was gone.

P1020235

Then one day,

P1020236

Without asking permission again,

P1020234

He rolled over at nap time.

P1020237

And everything changed again.

P1020247 cropped edited big

He was only 7 months old.

And he was adorable.

PICT0008

But my heart still aches.
