I promise he's not naked here. Although it does cut down on laundry to feed him in the diaper! No, he's just learning how to give a smack HIGH FIVE!! Dada taught him over red beans and sweet potatoes and now he's quite proficient. The only bad thing was that he wouldn't high five me at first. But he's gotten over that. I think I'll work on blowing a kiss next!
I'd hoped to wait until he turned one to have the first haircut. I just wanted to let those cute curls go! Alas, it was constantly in his eyes and I didn't want the back to reach mullet or even Ryder Robinson lengths. I know we were a long way from that, but all the same.... We went to our local walk-in salon du strip mall and June did the honors. He did great! He was a little shy at first, but he sat on the booster and admired himself in the mirror. I think the dogs on the cape helped too. So he had one eye on June ("what are you doing up there?") and the other eye on me ("seriously, put the camera down") the whole time. We reserved the clippers for a later visit, so the scissors snipped away. He finally cracked his smile as we were paying and then started pulling on the back ("there used to be more here?"). Here's the before and after:

now he REALLY looks like a little man. he's too cute.
OLE MILES WOULD BE PRETTY CUTE WITH A MULLET BUT I AGREE WITH THE HAIRCUT TO AVOID THIS FATE, AS WE ONCE EXPERIENCED THE MULLET FAMILY TOGETHER IN WINSTON SALEM. STILL NOT SURE MY LIFE HAS BEEN THE SAME SINCE THAT ONE SHINING MOMENT OF MULLET PERFECTION! :)
