Another Big Boy...

This is Parker James... He's his Mommy's little boy! She gets lots of hugs and kisses from him on an hourly basis! She loves rocking him and treating him like the baby. After all, he looks like a baby and is the youngest in the family (for another 12 weeks at least). Well, this little guy has a daddy that thinks it's time for him to grow up. Because he's lost the pacifier war on several occasions, He's decided that the second 1st step is for him to start looking like a big boy! Yesterday Parker's daddy went up to Parker's mommy and announced that he was going to cut his hair. Parker's mommy's heart sunk and sadly agreed to let his daddy cut off his soft blond curls! Here is the before picture...

Parker's big brother has NEVER been happy during this process (and usually has to be held down) so complete caution was taken this time around. Here he is getting familiar with the crazy machine that would make his mommy sad... So far so good! Parker's totally entertained!

Amazing! Parker has no problem with sitting on his daddy's lap and doing everything he asks! (Not pictured: Mommy is in the background with a frown on her face and a tear in her eye)!

Big brother had to help towards the end. He jumped in the shower and started  making faces through the glass! The clippers were having a hard time cutting off Parker's curls because his hair is so fine. It took a little longer...

Success... Big brother's silly faces worked and Parker was content again! The crackers and gummies helped too!

And mommy's little boy magically transformed into a big boy... all within 30 minutes!

Of course he knew how cute he was and had no problem giving us smiles!

Side by side before and afters...

Daddy is very proud of his two big boys and mommy is glad that she has one last chance to keep the baby in her belly a baby as long as possible!

OMG he is such a star in front of that camera. I remember the first hair-cutting day all too well. They officially look like a big boy!!!

It is amazing how a simple haircut can "grow them up" so much. No matter, Parker is absolutely adorable.
