Ruby's First Haircut

One thing that we had been anxious to get done while we were back in the US was to get Ruby's first haircut. It had gotten so scraggly and was constantly in her face unless I had it tied back (which she would pull out every few minutes!). So, we were very excited when Jared's cousin, Megan, said that she would cut her hair!! Here are a few pictures from the big day.

In this first shot Megan's just trying to see how much to take off. As you can see, I needed a haircut pretty badly too!

After we decided to cut bangs and keep most of the length it was a pretty quick job. In this picture it looks as if Ruby was just really docile and easy to work with...she wasn't! Actually I don't think it was all that bad, but she did have the benefit of her first lollipop to keep her occupied.

The gross part was that Ruby's lollipop kept getting covered in hair, so we had to keep rinsing it off. She was also covered in sticky, so of course the hair was just sticking everywhere! Yuck! She really didn't seem to care though and came through the whole thing like a champ. I couldn't believe how much older those bangs made her look! Looking back at these pictures, I'm also noticing how much her hair has already grown. I'm going to have to give those bangs a trim before long.

Nana and Daddy approved of the new haircut and hurried off to MawMaw's to show it off while I got my hair cut. Thanks Megan, for great cuts all around!
