Preserving Those Baby Curls


A few months ago I posted about E's first hair cut. It was an exciting moment, removing those luscious baby locks and revealing the little boy underneath. The only trouble was I literally had a bowl of baby curls sitting on my dresser for three months, very unsure what to do with them. I mean, what do you do with a bunch of baby hair? You can't just throw it away!


It wasn't long before I decided to make a silhouette of E (Silhouettes seem to be all the rage these days), and the idea to put a little lock of his first hair cut along side sort of just naturally blossomed.


I was so pleased with how the picture and hair turned out I made one of these as a Mother's Day gift for my self, and one for my husband's mom, and my mom and I think these will be making an appearance for Father's Day too. I mean, I still have a bowl of baby hair on my dresser (a little goes a long way!)

I have enough to make another for a tutorial too. Yes, perhaps a tutorial is just what is needed. Does that sound interesting?

How have you preserved the baby curls in your life?

So dapper

We have been talking about cutting this little one's hair for a few weeks now. I have been hesitant because I just loved his baby fine-soft hair. There was so much of it I couldn't bear to see it snipped off. Well, a few days ago I decided it was time, and I am so glad we did. He looks like such a little man! Where did my baby go?

We decided to go with the home-grown hair cut style a-la dad. We viewed a few videos by YouTube and then went for it. The event was overall not too traumatic(for mama or baby), and I am just adoring this little wee man who has appeared. Now what to do with all those baby curls we cut off? Any suggestions?
