Maya had her first haircut on July 6th. Nearly four months later, here are some pictures of it! In real time, I’m about 27 weeks pregnant, Maya is nearly 2 years old, Sean is busy contending with both of us, and we all seem to run out of energy before photos get edited and blog posts get written.

First Haircut!

Part of the trouble is that we now have a fairly unwilling subject. In July, Maya was just too busy to hold still. Now she actively runs the other way when she sees Sean coming with the camera.

First haircut!

At any rate, Maya’s wispy little hair was starting to pester her eyes, so we decided a trim was in order. We weren’t sure how the busy, stranger-averse toddler would do, so for her first haircut, we asked our friend Darla to cut it. The mood was relaxed and Darla was very quick with the scissors and before long, Maya could see past her bangs.
