Daniel's First Haircut!

Yesterday we took Daniel for his first haircut! He was starting to look a little shaggy and I'm not confident enough to cut his hair (I've trimmed it a couple of times, but I wanted to have someone do it right). So, on our way to an early lunch, we stopped into the barber shop Keith likes to go to.

Keith's been going to this place for about four or five years (he can't remember. lol. guys!). I've never been into a barber shop before, but it was similar to how I had pictured it. All men and all SO nice. Keith walked in with Daniel and there was a guy on the left cutting an older gentleman's hair. The barber told Keith that D looked just like him and the old man made some comment about how cute D was. To the right was the guy who was available to give Daniel his haircut. This place had a small-town feel and it seemed that their business mostly catered to a steady stream of walk-in clients.
The owner of the shop, Darwin, wanted to make sure to give us an envelope so we could save some of Daniel's hair. Like I said, this place was... adorable. I'm sure those guys love that I'm calling them adorable, but they were.
Daniel kind of zoned out for the whole thing. He was very much like his father, staying quiet to take in this new situation/experience. Darwin says that they're usually like this for the first haircut and that the second haircut is a better test for how they will behave for a haircut. lol.
Watching the guy next to him getting his hair buzzed.

After his haircut, Keith and Daniel went over to settle up with Marty and he *tried* to tell Keith that he wasn't going to charge for the first haircut. SO sweet! Keith paid him anyway!
I didn't get a great "after" photo, but he looks so cute. More like a boy than a baby. *love*
