I gave Miriam her first haircut when she was eight months old. Her hair was stick straight and it was super scraggly looking. I waited a little longer with Liesl because her cute curls masked some of the scraggliness. Even so, I decided that nine months was long enough to wait and that her hair needed some evening up.
So, after her bath that's just what I did! I sat her on the closed toilet lid and gave her a few distractions.
I combed and prepped.
Then snipped. Yikes!
Too late to go back now!
It was a couple inches. Probably everything she had at birth.
Phew! It's always nerve wracking to cut a wiggly baby's hair (for me, at least). But I'm happy I did it. I think it looks much better.

Awww...look at her big eyes! I am so jealous that she had enough hair for you to cut!!!! I want to see it all dried :)
it's sad to see those big curls go! But, she is SUPER cute no matter what. I love those cheeks! I hope all is well at the uv.
Oh my word that baby is adorable. Can I pinch her through cyberspace? Wow. And I am so jealous of all that hair. It took Melynn almost two years to grow that much and it still isn't as thick as Liesl's. Very cute baby.
Wow, what a cutie! Good job!
