Baby haircut

EW Baby was born with a full head of hair.  By his first birthday, it was time for a little trim. However, a haircut is easier said than done for a busy and active baby boy.  He didn't like the idea of scissors near his head, and to be honest - as a mom with little prior hair cutting experience - I didn't feel comfortable using sharp scissors either in case he were to suddenly move during the process.
Meet the Tinkle Hair Cutter! 
This is a handy little tool that I've been using on my own hair - to trim my bangs. You use it like a comb, and it provides a nice razor cut.  On Amazon, I found it for under $4, so it is certainly a lot cheaper than a visit to the salon.

Once I figured out the tool I was going to use, I had to get my little boy to sit still. The iPad comes in handy for this, as it will take a few minutes to do the job.  I started in the back and slowly worked my way around. He was unfazed, as it were as gentle and noiseless as if I were coming his hair!  I tried to trim his hair in layers, so as to prevent the "bowl cut".

Finished!  EW baby looking dapper :)
