she is growing so fast. i know i keep saying this, but i am constantly surprised.

today, i was supposed to dedicate myself to writing a paper and finishing a presentation. but i am glad i didn't. instead, madeline got her first haircut! it was probably one of the sweetest things i've seen. she sat on daddy's lap while he distracted her. she didn't mind a bit!

here is a picture before:



her hair has always been a bit unruly... she has this soft wave in it that makes it fly away from her head. as you can see, we've attempted to pin back her bangs. here is the after shot:

now she's ready for her welch's grape juice commercial! she's just showing up her frumpy mommy (who also needs a haircut!).

btw, notice the jeans? jeans on a baby. ha! i can't get over how funny that is. she looks way older than she is. she looks like she's a toddler -should be walking and talking... can you believe she's only 8 months?! she's huge!

we also walked out of the salon with a bottle of paul mitchell baby hair product. it's the first time i've bought paul mitchell anything! it is great how we spend money on her in ways we wouldn't on ourselves.

i need to get a real job and start saving for that pony.
