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?
Emory's First Hair Cut
| Before the Cut (Notice the amazing food beard too) |
| Dad making the first snip! |
| Second snip, no turning back! |
| The new big boy |
| 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?
