Heidi's First Haircut!

Before we talk about the big milestone in Heidi's life - her first haircut - let's back track with some goofy photos from this weekend.

Heidi has this little headlamp that she LOVES - she puts it on and runs around.
Yes - she totally is throwing that car at me. Not cool.
The headband fell off - she wasn't too happy about it.
It's on again and she is off...

 Heidi was ready this morning for the Husker game - I asked her to stand in the corner so I could take a picture of her - she decided to pick her nose. My little princess...

 Having fun after playing in the leaves and on our way to get our haircut...

Okay - onto the hair... I didn't do a great job with before and after shots - but here are a couple from right before - notice how long her ponytail is. When her hair is down - its a couple inches past her top of her butt. I always said we would finally cut it once it reached her butt and it would tangled too much. Check and check. Also - I normally could braid it and keep it out of the way no problem - well - her braid started to tuck in her waistband ever so often... time for a cut!

Before...

During...she was a good in the chair - very cautious...

 You can see the haircut down here...

 Her new ponytail!

 We had a good laugh - they gave us a baby's first cut card and some of the hair - ha! I think most kids have a haircut prior to being well past the age of 3.

And its official - we cut off well over 7 inches!!! Crazy!

We did have a brief moment after it was done that Heidi was on the brink of crying because she didn't have long hair anymore. But we assured her it was still long - longer than mommy's and daddy's and she was just fine with that! :)
