Spike, Part Deux

Here are the pictures from the other time Arin asked me to 'piiike' his hair. It seems right now his hair got super long again overnight... one day it was sticking up and short, and the next it was flattened down and long. Crazy.



I'm hoping to find some clippers and give him a military-style haircut this time... short and cool for summer time, and I think it will look very nice with his blond hair.



But with a face like this, any kind of hair would work. So much cute!!

'Mommy Spike My Hair Please!'

Well, he doesn't quite express himself in full sentences or say please yet, but the other day Arin asked me to spike his hair! It was so cute.



He was under the impression that you use moisturizer to style your hair... so finally after months of wrestling the lotion away from him every time he can get his hands on it and muss it into his hair... I showed him the hairspray can. I explained that THAT was what you used to spike your hair, and that lotion was JUST for skin. He got it right away, and immediately demanded that I 'spiiiiike, spiiiiike' his little hair!


Too cute. A few days later he asked me the same thing, I have to find those pictures too. I think he looks so grown up, like a little kid not a toddler! That's sad, everything goes by way too fast...



Speaking of which, these pictures demonstrate how big he is... whenever he gets the living room to himself at night he'll hop onto the computer and try to locate his Youtube playlist collection of Shaun the Sheep, Thomas the Tank Engine and Cascada videos. He likes it even more than his Thomas DVDs!

Arin's first haircut

This morning Arin got his first haircut. He is a few days short of 6 months old, but his hair was everywhere! In his eyes, over his ears, and forming little rats nests in the back... so it was time for a trim. He was born with dark hair like mommy, but it has since grown in blond... so now that its short you can really see a difference. I think he looks older (and definitely blond), aww! I am also not the best hairdresser, but hopefully in a few days it will grow in and look a little more even. It's hard to cut a wiggly baby's hair (oh well, it'll grow back)! :) Here are a bunch of pictures from the big event:

Look how long that hair is! Shaggy. :)


And a view down the top, look at that hair!
Uh oh, here's the very first snip!
'What are you doing to me mommy!?'

This is how he amused himself during the first half of the cut:

At the end of the cut, this was a bunch that I have saved:
'Why can I feel such a cool breeze on my head mommy?'

'Do I look handsome?'
'Where'd all my hair go??'

Why joo takin' so many pictures?
Guess he's happy with the change...

'Am I so handsome or what?'
