Well, Knox's first haircut went exactly how I'd always imagined it. He cried through the whole thing. I have to give props to Mariana at Blue Bird Salon for hanging in there and being stone cold to the tears of babes. Even as Knox swatted at her hands, she kept snipping with nary a blade nicking his little petulant fingers.
It was a weird milestone for all of us. Jerrod and I had wanted to keep Knox's long hair til his second birthday, but it was just too much. He had a thick, glorious mane. Long hair flowing over his eyes and ears, cascading down his back to his shoulder blades when wet.

A picture of him playing with one of his besties in the park shows him sporting the hair over his hood, hanging down in his face, while his gray skinny jeans started to sag. I was seeing the early makings of Justin Bieber.
And then Saturday, as Jerrod and I watched him tug at those locks as he played at the park, we realized that it was an unfair distraction. Hair gel had become too much of a hassle and bobby pins had been vetoed, so away we went to the salon.
The following pictures should pretty much sum up that day and those unforgettable twenty minutes in the chair. Just click Read More to see them all.

He looks ADORABLE!!! Love the new look!
Thank you. He doesn't look like my little baby anymore, but he's much more expressive! (or maybe that's just because I can actually SEE his facial expressions now)
1. Super cute baby boy! Love the spikes.
2. What does Knox's shirt say in those last few photos?
It was an awesome present from Aunt Whitney. It's from the Saturday Night Live skits with Will Ferrell about Jeopardy. There is a pacifier on the onesie and the words say, as from the skit, "Suck it Trebek." Didn't plan on having it photographed, but as he didn't wear the cape, the long-sleeve shirt came off revealing this daring (and funny) undershirt.
So freaking adorable! He is a gorgeous baby.
seems like hes over his relationship w/ the girls - glad to see hes moved on :) what a little boy now, that baby of yours is growing up!
Thank you, Britta.
And Rebecca, he's still getting over the heartbreak.
