First Haircut

Thursday night Charles got his first haircut. He was shaggy around the ears and Aunt Christy kept calling him "Frank Barone, Jr." from Everybody Loves Raymond. Daddy said Charles looks like a hippy with the long hair. In any case it was time for a cut before his 1 year pictures on Friday morning.

Grandma Goentzel got to do the honors, thanks to her haircutting skills. It's too bad Grandpa Wall isn't alive to be here for the big event. He didn't like having little wiggly kids in his barber shop, but he would've been awfully excited to give his great-grandson his first haircut.

We put Charles in his booster seat and bribed him with Cheerios and yogurt. It was a good idea, but it didn't stop him from moving. He wanted to know what in the world was going on. And he didn't like that he was supposed to sit still.

The first snip, really this was the only place it was long, just behind the ear on both sides!

More cutting and wiggling.

The end result. A clean-cut child. The comb was more fun to eat than the yogurt and the Cheerios!
