Northern Baby's First Haircut

After a full year of growing hair, Northern Baby got his first haircut. (He was getting a little shaggy - looked too much like a bum.....but if you consider that he has no job, is supported by others, and spends most of his day begging for food, maybe the bum look is right for him....)We went to a little place in Williston called the Hairy Bear. It's tucked inside of a big-people salon, and in place of the regular barber's chairs, they have ride-on toys mounted on pedestals. There is a Jeep, some kind of Barbie car, a real-life kid's motorcycle (if you took it off the pedestal, it could drive around)(Levi's going on that one as soon as he learns to hold on!), and the little race car that Levi sat inside.

Levi didn't really know what to think of this new experience...he was well-behaved for the most part, but there was a cute little girl getting her hair trimmed in the car next to him, and he spent a lot of his haircut time trying to spin around to gaze upon her beauty. (I think that if he could talk, he'd be using pickup lines on every girl he meets! --Yeah, baby: this sports car is mine...wanna go for a ride?!)

Isn't he just adorable?

After the haircut, Northern Baby got a balloon that he proudly carried around. As a side note, N.B. loves helium balloons. He will spend all afternoon commanding the adults around him to retrieve his floaty balloons from the ceiling...and as soon as he gets his balloons back, he forgets to hold onto the string and they float back up...if he keeps it up, I think we're going to get a huge bundle of balloons and see how many it takes to lift N.B. off of the ground!

After such an exciting, busy morning, a snooze is in order. Little does he know that he's already on the way to another new experience. Join us on the next installment of Northern Baby when we visit Vermont sugarhouses and find out how maple syrup is created!
