Haircut and Cheesy Smiles

Here's the last pre-haircut picture I have of Keenan. See how it was curling behind his ears and boofing out front?


It took Keenan quite a while to consent to let me cut his hair. I've done it a few times now. The first time was excruciating because it took FOREVER. Now that I've adapted better to how he likes it, and since receiving some great tips from a beautician in our ward, I'm feeling more confident (even though I'm still pretty slow). I started with the clippers with the 1/2 inch attachment (#4), and trimmed the back and sides. Then I cut an inch or so off the top with the scissors and blended. Lastly, I trimmed the front, not too short (my taste), and cleaned up the back and around the ears with the bare clippers. What do you think?


As for Samuel, he's taken to pulling a big cheesy smile when he sees the red light that precedes the flash on our camera. The smile then promptly disappears. Very cute.






He sure is starting to get around!! No independent steps yet, but lots of balancing and climbing.
