Delia got her very first haircut Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010. Her hair was halfway down her back and kind of scraggly, so we just got it cleaned up a little. We went to Erin's Salon, which is about 20 steps from my office. As the world's worst mom, I forgot to bring my real camera, and all I had to capture the moment was my camera phone. I also forgot to grab a chunk of hair to keep and put in Delia's neglected baby book (the blog is our baby book!) under "Baby's First Haircut," but Erin helped me make a nice neat bundle from a little chunk we rescued off the floor.
Delia was very hesitant about getting in the chair, so I got in the chair first and put a cape on.
I kept her distracted with a bucket of 300 foam stickers (thanks Dollar Tree!), which we stuck all over her cape, my cape, and Erin's apron.
After it was all over, she got a sucker for being so good. Don't worry Papa - her hair is just caught up on her shoulder in this picture. It is not as short as it looks. What a pose.
