ruth's first haircut!

Well, we finally took the plunge! Ruth got her very first haircut last night. I can't believe we waited so long. She was scared when we got to the salon and while her hair was being washed, but she settled down and by the time she was sitting in the big chair and could see herself in the mirror, she was fine. In fact, I think she quite enjoyed herself. I was a big ball of emotions, however. :) I shed a few tears when the hair started falling to the floor. My baby girl is all grown up!

not quite knowing what to expect

(her expressions right after she got her bangs cut were hilarious! she didn't recognize herself! :) )
