hadley's first haircut and some bling!

i was going to let hadley grow her hair out... for how long? well, i was not really sure. i guess until her bangs were long enough to pull back into her ponytail? i didn't know her hair would have a mind of its own. and you know what's really fun? while driving along, i look in the mirror and see hadley chewing on her hair elastic or sucking on her clip. i have pulled over more times in the last month to get hair accessories out of her mouth. you might think, just don't bother with cute hair styles... well, then her bangs cover her eyes and get in her boogies...

so off we went to snip-its for her first haircut! i was kinda nervous, and didn't know what to expect and was afraid i was making a mistake. especially after mason's teachers gave me feedback of "bangs gone wrong".

i was so proud of hadley, she did so good!!!! and the hair dresser really listened to what i said and only took a little off her bangs so she can see. we are in good shape to try to grow them out again once the hair accessories eating phase is over. the back was a bit uneven and most days only 1/2 was curling. so she just trimmed it a bit, and all her curls came back. i was so happy with the results.






after:


i have been thinking of getting hadley's ears pierced lately. i was in no rush, but it was on my mind. saturday i took hadley up to visit my parents for the day. it was rainy and yucky out. so after lunch, my dad was tired and wanted to rest. my mom and i took a ride to the mall. while we were there we decided it was the day to get her ears done.

let me just say, hadley did so good!!! they did both ears at once, it was super fast, and was over before we knew it. hadley let out a big cry and then she stopped as soon as she saw the lollipop. and that was that.

my camera battery died, but i did take these pictures the next morning... not the best, but you get the idea. (and yes, she is wearing her winter pj's still)
