first haircut!

not happy with the final product?

We took Desmond to Cartoon Cuts today for his first haircut! Once he had his orange lollipop in hand and "Dora the Explorer" on the tv, he was good to go. I don't think he even realized his hair was being cut. Now, he looks less like Terry Bradshaw and more like a very handsome one-year-old.
