Not so happy first haircut

This little guy is really upset by his first haircut. While this isn't great, Mom helps get the job finished. She is keeping him still but not holding tight. She is talking in her usual voice and trying to get his mind on other things. The barber gets the basic job done fast without getting mad. At the end, Mom tells him he did a good job. This should help the next haircut go better.

First Haircut

First haircuts can be an adventure, especially with a wiggly baby. This mom seems so calm. She is helping keep baby from moving, but seems to be holding gently. Baby seems not to notice what is going on for a while. When baby does reach for the scissors, everybody talks to the baby without yelling or jerking baby away. No chop marks in the haircut or for baby!
