Some of you may remember our first attempt at Gavin's first haircut. Since it's now time for 1 year pictures, I thought it was a great opportunity to finish what we started. So, this morning, I took Gavin and Emery to Cookie Cutters, a hair place for kids. They have cool cars that the kids can sit in and can pick out a DVD to watch during their haircut. We selected the yellow bug as our car and Sesame Street as our DVD. Emery sat in the stroller eating cheerios and watching Cooking Monster while Gavin got his hair cut. I'm still not sure what to do with Emery's hair (it's pretty curly), so we're leaving it in the "Pebble's do" for now. We got a cool "first haircut" certificate at the end (picture below) and balloons for each of them. Gavin popped his balloon in about 2 minutes, so he got a replacement balloon. He didn't even flinch when it popped in his face! I took lots of pictures since Pete wasn't able to go with us........
Check out the Cookie Monster on the screen with "C is for cookie"? This was their first exposure to Sesame Street.

The certificate- It's hard to see, but on the left side is a small bag with a few pieces of his hair. The hairdresser asked me if it would be ok to put Gavin's picture on the wall as a model. This is a new certificate format, so I guess they wanted to display it. I'm still proud. :-)
The balloons
This is a short video of Gavin with the balloon. They've never played with a balloon before, but Gavin seemed to love it. Watch Emery......looking around like "what the heck is going on back there"??

How CUTE! What a cool place!
Ha! Your comment on my blog made me laugh out loud!! LOVE IT! I, too , have considered saying that-- as people say such dumb things. I've also considered saying, yes, I am pregnant-- 9 months along. Then they'd think- DANG she looks good! Especially if I said it when I was like 20 weeks... :) ha ha
very cute set you have there. thanks for coming by my blog. i think crafting saves a bit of my sanity, it just feels so good to make something (other than the future of two little people). congrats on getting the first year done....we have been having a blast around here as we move towards two.
