1st haircut

It was definitely time for a haircut for Tyler. I have been thinking this for over 2 months now. But we really couldn't take it anymore. The hair was sticking out on the top the sides and it was really shaggy in the back. It was sad for me because that is just one more thing that means he is growing up and getting older. Can you believe he is 10 months old? So his first haircut. Wow! He wasn't real sure what to think about it. He was excited at first as you can see getting to sit/stand in the chair by himself is a big deal. He really thinks he is hot stuff. But it would be easier for Nancy if I held him. So that is what we did. He sat in my lap with his little apron on so we wouldn't get hair all over him. He really didn't know what to think about that. He just looked at it and looked at me and looked at it again and then yelled. Nancy started cutting his hair and he just looked around like 'what he heck is this lady doing to me?"
He really did a good job. He started getting a little squirmy after a little bit, but never fear daddy had the magic cheerios and he was preoccupied with those for a while.
Tyler made a first with Nancy too. In all her years of cutting hair she has never used the razor cutter thing on a baby's hair. But she did on Tyler's! She was cuttingg with the scissors and Tyler was squirming so she said "let's try this" She got out the little razor thing that she things out my hair with and used it on Tyler. It is safer than the scissors because he can't get cut on it and neither can she. But she was really embarrassed that it took her 25 years to figure it out and it finally dawned on her now. But.....Tyler was the first!!

His after cut will come later because the camera ran out of batteries!


Tyler loves animals. For some reason he even likes cats!! Yikes!!Hopefully he never wants one because Jeff and I neither one like them at all. But Tyler must get his animal lover instinct from his Aunt Susie! He will love on them and kiss on them and it is too precious. I don't think he understands the difference between a live cat and a stuffed animal. He isn't scared of anything. This cats name is Gibson and he was really good with Tyler. The cat laid there and Tyler was petting him nicely and trying to kiss him. But at one point the cat wasn't really doing what Tyler wanted him to so he pulled his hair and the cat snapped. Tyler didn't know what to do and he was sad because the cat jumped down off of the couch.
The cat came back later and Tyler was still a little lover. I guess id didn't scare him it just scared his mom!
