Marcelus' Haircut

After growing Marcelus' hair out for probably 9 months, I decided to take him to get it cut. I had originally planned to grow it out pretty long but a few factors came into play. First of all, Marce does not bathe every day yet, so on bath days his hair would look great, but on the off days it was kind of out of control and just a mess! It was growing steadily but at the same time it seemed the longer it got, the more the ends curled up. So, initially it seemed to grow really slow when in actuality it was just pretty curly. I mainly decided to cut it because of the bathing thing and when he's older and starts taking his own showers then we can grow it out again.

In the meantime I think he looks really cute with short hair, I always have though. Short hair brings out his features and makes him look so much older to me....you would think I wouldn't like that, but I do. It's so fun to see him all grown up. He's already tall for his age so he just seems like such a big boy to me. I love this picture, you can see how beautiful his eyelashes are. I love his eyebrows and his lips too.

We took him to Cool Cuts 4 Kidz and they do a great job! I had them give him a fade with just enough on top to pomade. With his cowlicks it's a little too short to do anything with the top, but it's still super cute. The short hair just really brings out his face. Next time maybe we'll do a short fade with a swirly in it or something. I love doing new things! Phoenix is still growing out his big curly fro! I love his curls!
