Grant's First Haircut and 14-16 month update

Grant had his first haircut on Friday, January 9th at Pigtails and Crewcuts in Marietta (where Alli also had her first haircut...but she was 3). He loved sitting in the airplane car, and he actually didn't mind the actual haircut either.  He didn't love the part where the stylist had to brush out the tangles in his baby mullet, but once he saw the movie and got some toy trains in his hands, he was just fine.  He looks so cute, and so much older now with his big boy hair cut that I think he needs a few more years of smocked jon-jons to keep him a baby just a bit longer :)
