Canyon's First Haircut!

Canyon got his first haircut this last week. It was a great internal debate for me to finally decide to get it done. I loved his baby curls. They are so cute! But as soon as Canyon would take a nap or sit in his car seat his curls would go straight for the rest of the day. I was also having a hard time getting rid of another baby thing on Canyon. Getting his hair cut would make him a little boy and not a baby. However, Canyon was definitely having the business on top and party in the back hair do. I finally got up the courage to just get it cut.

I took Canyon to my friend Heidi who does a great job with cutting hair, especially with first time haircuts. This is a picture of Canyon's mullet: the before picture.

Canyon was upset at first and he started crying as soon as Heidi started combing his hair.

Then we got him a sucker and he was good to go.

Bye Bye mullet! He really does look like a little boy now and he is still very handsome.

Canyon is still a little traumatized but Heidi did a great job! Thanks Heidi.

Plus, Canyon no longer looks like he is related to this guy:) Thanks Heavens!! Right after we got his haircut I decided to take him to baby animal days at This is the Place Monument to make up for the haircut. Here is a baby cow that came up to the fence to see Canyon.

He loved the baby lambs and tried to feed them wood chips. The seemed interested at first. When the wouldn't eat them Canyon settled on throwing them into their food dish.

Canyon loved the baby bunnies. Here he is giving one of them a love.

Canyon really liked all of the animals expect for the baby ducks. They really freaked him out. Sure, he is best friends with a 75 pound dog that looks like a wolf but a tiny duck is very scary to him.

Canyon also got to go on his very first real live pony ride...but again he is scared of a baby duck.

We also walked around the pioneer village. Canyon loved the mini village. He looked giant next to those little houses.

Here is Canyon driving the train. I think he had forgiven me for his haircut by this point.

By the time we got home he was exhausted after a long day. What a little darling. I guess he is still my baby after all.
