Obie's First Hair Cut

I couldn't stand it anymore. I'm one of those people who believes that girls should have long hair and boy's hair should be short. And at five months, Obie's hair was already too long. See:

Almost in his eyes! I don't want anyone mistaking my handsome little man for a girl, so I sat him up in his Bumbo seat, employed Maggie to distract him (just a little), and snipped those long hairs short.

It's a big difference, don't you think? It was exceptionally hard to snip the hairs around his ears - for one because it tickled him and he was squirmy, but for two because he has had one exceptionally long hair growing over his right ear from birth. It was a little whispy thing that just floated there from the side of his head and always made me laugh. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to take a picture of one hair, so this will have to be one of those special things that mama remembers but has no proof of. I'll think fondly of that little long baby hair.

But I really love my big boy's new hair cut!

Don't you??
