Deacon's First Haircut

We decided that the new year meant that Deacon should get a new hairdo--his first haircut ever. Since he was just a few months old, Deacon has had some seriously awesome curls, but they were getting a little out of hand. Here are his before shots.

I was sad to see his curls go because we always felt like the "essence of Deke" was captured in that amazing hair. But, we brought him to Cartoon Cuts anyway. I was a little nervous going into it because Deacon doesn't usually like things like this, but he did great, even with a split lip from tripping in the play area a few minutes earlier and a bump on his forehead from a collision earlier in the day with a wall corner.

Getting a good "after" picture was like trying to take a picture of a bullet, so we don't really have one that accurately captures how handsome he looks now.

But, believe me, he still looks adorable...maybe even more adorable. And, he seems happier and like he knows that he's now a big boy. I may have shed a tear when those first locks fell to the floor but now I can't stop looking at my little handsome boy.
