Camden got his hair did!

Matt has long referred to Camden's hairstyle as a "sullet" (sideways mullet). Still, the thought of taking scissors to his tiny blonde head was always an emotional subject for me. It seemed like yet another step away from babyhood and into Toddler-Ville. In the past few weeks, though, his hair started to hang down over his ears. And I realized I was able to make a tiny ponytail on the back of his head. It was time.

Since Camden's stranger anxiety is off the charts, the thought of taking him to sit with a stranger wielding scissors just wasn't appealing. At all. But my cosmetology skills are non-existent and Matt's are limited to shaving his own head. Then, when discussing our dilemma with my mom on Christmas day, she volunteered to play the role of barber.

It all started out innocently enough. Camden was enjoying the novelty of sitting on the kitchen table & wasn't bothered in the least that his Nan was playing with his hair.



This is the life! Getting my hair styled while enjoying some snacks.


And then it happened. Nan sprayed the back of Camden's head with a water bottle. I don't know if it was the sound of the water bottle or the sudden spray of water (or both), but Camden lost it. LOST.IT. Enter: complete and total meltdown.

I HATE HAIRCUTS!!! I NEVER WANT ANOTHER ONE EVAH!!!!!



But he got over it quickly. And check out this handsome new 'do!

Haha awww poor Camden!

I didn't want to cut Noah's hair either, but his hair fell out in a majorly crazy pattern and the long long hairs never fell out and just kept getting longer. I cut his hair the day before he was baptised at 3 months old because it would have looked so awful after getting messed up with the water! Looking back at pictures I REALLY wish I hadn't waited! Now, at 9 months, he's had 4 haircuts. Each one was very needed!

hah...Gage has a mullet too. We cut his hair a while back, just the pieces that hung over his ears on the sides, but now we are considering the back as well. I can't figure out if it's going to curl up and look cute or if I am just denying my kid has a mullett. Oh and Gage has that green shirt too, but his got ruined:(. Happy New Year.

Poor Camden. But you've gotta suffer sometimes in order to look good, right? :) And he looks so cute!
