Melina's first haircut

Well, we finally did it. We took Melina for her first haircut. With the exception of her bangs, her hair had never been cut. I was afraid of cutting it and losing the curl, but it was just getting too unmanageable. We only had a couple of inches cut off, but it has made a huge difference when brushing it out. The good news it that there is still curl in her hair, we just have to let it dry fully before she sleeps on it (which actually doesn't happen very often since we usually give her baths at night before bedtime, but oh well.) Here are some pics. We took the camera with us, but the battery was dead, so Russ had to take the first few pictures with his cell phone. Enjoy!
