first haircut.

my little boy got his first haircut on sunday! i loved it long, but it was getting out of control. so tyler and i decided to take him to sportsmans on sunday. tyler and cruz both got haircuts! cruz did really well. i was holding my breath...i was a little nervous about how he would do (ok, a lot nervous). but he did great! he was holding onto his little truck and was licking a sucker the whole time! he was very interested in what the stylist was doing. it was so cute.

i know it's silly, but him getting his first haircut has been hard on me! he looks so different....more grown-up. i like the new cut, but i miss his little "wings" and baby locks. i think it's just hard because i'm realizing that the little baby days are over and that he is a toddler now. there have been several times over the last week or so that i have been a bit emotional about how big he is getting! it seems as though he has recently had a little growth spurt...he is getting so tall! and he is just doing so many new things and is looking so much more like a big boy. don't get me wrong, i adore this new stage and love all the new adventures we're having...but at the same time it's hard. :)

being a mother can't be put into words. there are some things that can't be explained. it is utterly amazing and i wouldn't trade it for anything, that i do know.
