Haircut

It is tradition in the Duran family for Grandpa Louie to give the grandsons haircuts.  He's great at it and very practiced, because he cut the hair of Marcos and all his brothers growing up.  And last Fall it was Mason's turn! (These pictures are from November when Mason still had a round baby face.  ::sigh::  He already looks so much older!)

The "before" curls that melt Grandma Elizabeth's heart.  

Pre-haircut conversation with a lady I didn't know:

LADY:  "OH!  Your baby is SO cute!  Is it a boy or a girl?"

ME:  (already annoyed)  "He's a boy."

LADY:  "Oh wow, look at those curls!  You'd think he's a girl with those darling curls."

ME:  "Mmm, thanks, but he's a boy."  (feeling spunky now)  "Ya know, he IS wearing ALL blue."

LADY:  (not phased)  "Girls wear blue, too.  And his blue eyes are SO pretty you'd think he's a girl!"

ME:  (???.....confusion giving way to defeat)  "Uh....thanks."  

He was such a good boy and didn't even cry!

Brushing the hair off

So nice and trim!  Thanks Grandpa Louie!  (Can't you see the family resemblance? .....No?  ......Neither can we. :)   

P.S.  He's had a few haircuts since this one, and within a few weeks, his cute curls come back. :)
