first haircut

Annikah experienced an exciting first yesterday....her first haircut!! She was a baldy until she was 2 and in Africa the humidity keeps her hair super curly and out of her face but as she observed she does indeed have "new hair here" and it is constantly unruly and in her face. This coupled with Jorie's offer to join her and her boys on a haircut adventure made us decide to cut some bangs for her. The hair stylist was fabulous with kids and even had a little lion they sit on as well as offering a movie of their choice to watch while she cuts and styles their hair. So for 5 bucks Miss Anni had her first ever haircut and she did great! The lion chair and Tinkerbell movie helped and the stylist also asked her if she could do her hair "like a princess." Are you kidding? Anni was all about it and the results were pretty adorable.

another cute pic of Anni's physical this AM...she loved this little hospital gown she called a doctor dress. She wasn't so crazy about the flu shot though!
