Natalie's first haircut

A few weeks ago, I had Natalie's 16-month portraits done. When I picked up her pictures, I realized that Natalie's hair needed a trim. The back side was so uneven and wispy strands everywhere. So, Mommy decided it was time to trim Natalie's first locks.

Natalie's hair before. A little kiss to Elmo before we start...

Here we go! First off, we had her favorite things around her: 1) most importantly, her "woobie" (security blanket), 2) Elmo, and 3) her favorite book (at the moment, she loves "Good Night, Gorilla"). Mommy wets and combs Natalie's hair back.

I measure carefully, then snip, snip! I decided not to cut any bangs, because Natalie always sweeps her hair out of her face. Also, her hair is so fine and has some curls/waves that bangs may not work.

Natalie did so well; she was busy playing with her woobie, Elmo and book. A few times, she was wondering what I was doing to the back of her hair.

Mommy finishing up, making sure it is straight.

After we were done, Natalie gives Mommy a kiss and then a kiss to herself in the mirror. Aww...how sweet!

Then, it was bath time. Notice the back side of Natalie's hair is straight--Ha! Afterwards, Natalie brushes her teeth before bed time, which she does so well by herself.

Here is a photo of Natalie the next day. I really did not trim much off but Natalie is now sporting a short bob. Hopefully, one day, her hair will grow out thick and long just like Mommy's ;)
