Today I took Eliza for her much anticipated haircut appointment.

More anticipated by her brother Tate than herself – which just gives you a glimpse into their personalities!

This boy talked non-stop from the moment we walked in the salon door. Oh my! He had SO much to tell Miss Michelle! Things like “My Dad picked me up in China.” “I am five now.” “I want you to cut my hair at the beauty shop too!”

What a hoot his precious boy is! He makes us all smile so much!

If you only knew how many photos I take of Tate to get ONE that is good. Or, in this case, somewhat good!

Eliza was BRAVE and STRONG – as this appointment had the capacity for disaster for our sweet baby!

There were strong smells, someone touching her hair, a tight cape around her neck, hair falling on her, and she was up really high in a chair. Wow! As I listed all of those things I am SO, so proud of Eliza! She did amazing today!!

Bye, bye six inches!!

Right after I took this photo, I pulled Eliza’s dress off of her and tried my best to get all the hair off of her!

But this is her “Mom! There is still itching on me!” face.

Once we got home I really got all the hair off her – and the sucker I gave her didn’t hurt either!

We all just LOVE her new haircut!! She looks SO grown up!

Here she is trying to block the photo Grant is taking of her!

We are hoping this new style will help Eliza cope with bath time. It has been a rough couple weeks around here at bath time. Sweet girl. Eliza is struggling to have her hair washed, combed and dried. She is already so pleased with her shorter hair, so hopefully things will be better now!

We love you so much, Eliza Claire!! You are SO cute, sweet baby!!
