Ruthie's first haircut!

Now that it's been a month since the big Florida family vacation, maybe I'll finally go through my pictures and share some!  Until then, here's what is new!  Gemma and Ruthie both got their hair trimmed by mommy.  :)

Ruthie got to sit in the bathroom sink.  :)

Her hair didn't need a trim per se--it's not in her eyes--but her bangs were a little uneven, and I thought we'd test the theory that trimming her hair a bit will help it to become thicker.

See the whispy unevenness?  It was a little easier to see when I wet it down.

And here's the back before.

*Snip snip* Ok, smile!

Maybe only Mommy can tell . . . 

Gemma was a little easier, and it was actually Gemma's hair that got the haircut ball rolling for me!  I hadn't trimmed it at all since her first haircut almost two years ago, and it was looking like this:

So long and pretty!  And yet a bit thinner at the bottom, with lots of breakage from lots of pigtails.  Hmm.

I don't know why I didn't wash her face for this!  (And isn't it funny how early in the morning one's shirt can get marked with strawberries?)

Straight across.  And somehow I didn't cry!

Precious you are, both of you girlies.  I wish I'd been recording and sharing as many entries for Ruthie as I did for Gemma two years ago, but such is life.  My two gifts, my two gigglers, my two daughters, and Ruthie is now officially a toddler!  Now with shorter hair.  :)
