Luke's 1st Haircut

Luke's hair has been looking a little shaggy for the past few months, but I just couldn't bring myself to get it cut until he was 1 year old. 

The girls didn't get haircuts until they were about 2 and I know how much older kids look when they get their hair cut, so I wanted to hold out until he was 1.

When I was at the store the week of his birthday, one of the cashier's who was a teenager told me that my baby looked like Justin Bieber. That wasn't the first person who has told me that, Luke totally had the Biebs hair. Luke's hair has been getting so long that the girls were putting bows in it to keep it out of his face. Plus, Kevin was threatening to shave Luke's head if I didn't get it cut.

Yesterday was the big day. I didn't think much of it. 

I wasn't emotional at all. Boys have short hair. No big deal.

But as she was cutting it, I noticed how much older Luke was starting to look and my heart started racing. He was looking like a big boy.

Then she finished up and put gel in his hair and I about died. 

He was no longer a baby. He looked like a 3 year old.

Luke didn't cry during his haircut, but I did!!!  

Who knew that getting a haircut would make him look so old?!?!?!

I wanted to cry. 

She did a great job on his hair cut, but I can't believe how much older he looks.

I wish I would have just gotten him a little trim. Hindisight is always better.

Luke loves his hair cut.

Why didn't anyone warn me that when you give your  boy their first haircut it would make them turn into a little man?!?! I had girls first, I didn't know this info!!

I mean seriously. I do not have a baby anymore. I have an adorable TODDLER.

When I got him from his crib this morning, my heart jumped in my throat because I am not used to seeing such a big baby in the crib.

I know it's just hair, but I am eager for it to grow out a little bit so he doesn't look so old.

Bye Bye Baby. Hello Big Boy.

Sigh.
