First, I must beg your forgiveness for the poor quality of photography here.  We kept wondering why things were out of focus and why the camera was focusing on strange areas of the photo.  Come to find out a great big smudge (courtesy of Micah) was the culprit!  The pictures were taken prior to our revelation.

OK…now on with the story…

Some of you might think me extravagant, but I have this silly notion that my boys’ first haircuts (and for some reason, not my girls’…go figure) have to be done by someone we know and trust…and that someone is NOT me.

I can shave a head with the best of them, but I do not do normal, every day little boy haircuts.

I knew Micah’s hair had to be cut by my friend Lori, despite the fact her shop is an hour away from my house.  {Yeah, I know it didn’t *have* to be cut by Lori, but you must remember I am pregnant and once I get a notion in my head, there is just no getting around it.}

Micah wanted nothing to do with the big chair, so I held him (and ended up quite hairy, I might add).  Other than that little hiccup, he was good as gold and sat nicely for his haircut.  Lori crowned him the best first haircut ever!

With the weight of his hair gone, Micah quickly ran off to find his sibs and show them his cuteness. {ok, so maybe he was just looking for the toy room}.

He was so busy, we had a hard time getting any cute face-on shots of him, but you get the idea.

I still find myself looking over at him and admiring his new haircut and marveling in the fact that my little one is growing up. *sigh*

Oh, and in case you are wondering where he got his adorable little outfit…
The babylegs are from DittanyBaby.com (they’re called skid pants there).
The owl embroidered t-shirt is from Mimi’s Babies.

{yes, I know I can make my own BabyLegs, but sometimes a mama’s gotta splurge…this was my splurge!}

Disclosure time:
I schedule posts about a week in advance.  When I wrote this post, Mimi’s Babies was NOT one of my sponsors.  Frankly, I adore her products and wanted to mention where the owl shirt came from.  Well, 2 days prior to this post going live, Mimi’s Babies became one of my sponsors here at Raising Arrows.  Obviously, this does not change my opinion of their products, but I have to disclose…so now ya know.
