Jake's First Haircut

Jake had his first haircut today. He is almost 16 1/2 months old, so he was overdue according to his mother. His opa and I thought Jake was perfect just as he was.

Before (six days ago):

Do you think he looks older or younger with his new haircut?

Bentley had his first haircut just after his first birthday. Kara wanted to cut it much earlier, but we begged her not to. We, like with Jake, thought he was perfect just as he was.

Some days he looked like a Raphael cherub (incredibly adorable):


Other days he look like Elvis in his last years (not so fine):


After his first haircut he looked soooo cute:



His mom was right. He did need a haircut much earlier than we allowed. He was even more adorable with his hair trimmed--we just didn't think that was possible. We were concerned about messing with perfection. It just doesn't sound like a good idea, does it?
