First Haircut and fun with BFF!

So, I finally bit the bullet and cut Sophia's bangs! Now, let me just say that I am NOT a skilled hair cutter. I have never done it, except to my own hair - which I screwed up - and my husband's eyebrows, which I shaved one a little too close! However, her hair kept getting her face, so I just had to do it! It was a struggle, at first. There was much crying - no, not by me but by Sophia - and it took about 5 tries to get them even. By the 5th cutting, she was ok and it turned out pretty decently, if I do say so myself!

The instant change in her appearance kind of caught me off guard! She went from looking like a baby to a little girl! It was so wonderful to see her pretty face and I just can't get over how different she looks now! When it comes to the BIG cutting, I will be leaving that to the professionals, for sure!

We also spent the first WARM day this year with our good friend, the McEllraths. They are Sophia's Godparents and their oldest daughter, Kendall, is Sophia's BFF!! They have such fun when they play together...it's just so neat to know that they will grow up together and always have each other! "Uncle" Josh took the girls for a ride in Sophia's wagon and "Auntie" Debbie got some great pics!

Hope you all are enjoying Spring! We are back in a rain pattern, but looking foward to warmer days ahead!

Oh, your post reminds me of the first time I cut my little sweetie's bangs too... for the same reasons... LOL

Now we're trying to grow them out... I don't know if I can do it, they drive me crazy and she's always pulling her clips out!

Anyway, your Sophie looks darling!

Hope you had a Happy Easter!
