Reid got his 3rd haircut yesterday...but this time it's short!! About the same as Micah's at this age...and he looks so much older to me and less like a baby. Maybe that's why I've wanted to keep it longer...I just didn't want to face the reality that my baby's growing up. I was also a tad nervous to cut it (though I did do his 2nd one as well, it was minor compared to this one!) so I was holding out...but after seeing the pictures from the Museum day, I decided to just bite the bullet and go for it. I'm not a trained hair stylist (not even close!) but have had experience cutting Micah's hair for over 2 years now, thanks to my friend Kate for teaching me the basics. I don't typically use scissors for much of Micah's hair, however, and knowing that's what Reid required caused the timidness. Then I reminded myself, it's only hair and it will grow :) And if I start with just a little off, I can always go shorter. Thankfully once I got going I gained confidence, and I'm actually pretty proud of how the haircut turned out. Like I said, he's looking so much older now, but I guess that's life :)
The pics below are from today. Micah was out running errands with Christian, so Reid took full advantage of playing with big brother's kitchen food...a prized possession in our house, haha.
Such big blue eyes (although hard to tell from the black and white, I know).
