This week I decided Avery needed her first haircut. Her hair had really been bugging me because it was all different lengths from growing out since she was born. Plus, Avery has the thinest hair ever-so it was looking unkempt. I put her in her booster with a coloring book, crayons and some yogos. All I really wanted to do was even it all up so that it could grow out better...mission accomplished-I think! I didn't save any hair (much to the chagrin of Artie) because her hair is so fine that I couldn't get a chunk of it. She did really well for me, other than wanting to turn and see what mommy was up to back there!! That was our big excitement thus far this week...other than Avery cutting all 4 molars at once! The beginning of the week was pretty rough for her, two are through and we're waiting on the other ones so that she doesn't have to be in so much pain anymore!! Happy Hump Day:)
P.S. For those of you asking, I will try to get a belly shot up soon-we're 3 weeks from the big event today!
This happens to be a 'before' picture of Avery's hair-although she had just had a bath so it's wet and you really can't tell. We recently got a bench for our foyer and this is the mirror to it...Avery was in the midst of a very excited conversation with herself in this pic! Domer (our retriever mix) even stood and growled into the mirror at himself-funny stuff!
Very bad 'before' shot, but Miss Avery was being uncooperative with the hair pictures.
Here's an 'after' shot-all evened up! She had her head tilted back so it looks slightly longer than it is. In some places I took almost 2 inches off! It went from being down to her shoulder blades, to just resting on her shoulders.
This is one Artie snapped after dinner on the day of the haircut...she gobbled up a popsicle for dinner because her teeth were just hurting too bad.

Congrats on Avery's first haircut. You did a great job.
If it makes Artie feel better...I don't have any hair from Josie's first haircut. I kept some but accidentally threw it out.
Wonderful job on Avery's hair!! You are brave to attempt that yourself:) I still have yet to get E's hair cut, but we'll see, because her little wispy "baby hair" is quickly growing into bangs that I can't pull back anymore, and her hair is constantly in her face.
Last summer, Elizabeth got all 4 molars at the same time too. I'm not sure if it was a good or bad thing;)
3 more weeks?!?!?? Hope you're feeling as good as you can be!
Love,
C:)
Avery's haircut is adorable- thinking of you all the next couple of weeks- I am excited for Avery to meet her new brother soon!:)
Good job on the haircut- I know how hard those can be!! I think it looks great!!
Can't wait for that belly shot!! Are you that close for real???
