Presley's First Trip to the Salon

Last Sunday, we took Presley have her first official hair cut. I had trimmed up her hair before when she was little, but since she's a little bit more mobile now (and a lot more wiggly) I wanted a professional to do it this time around. I absolutely love her blond curls and the thought of cutting them off scared me so much. But, I had to agree with Blaine...her hair was growing really uneven and needed to be cleaned up just a bit.
We took her to a place in Round Rock called "Snip-its". It's a salon just for kids and was really cool! Presley had a blast just playing in the waiting area.

Presley's before shot.

She looks so cute in the little salon smock. They gave her a tiny bag of animal crackers to keep her happy and still while they trimmed her hair.

Yikes...the first cut!!!

Such a big girl! I love her little pose for the camera.

All done!

Spring is Here

Rather than recreate the drama we experienced when we tried to have Presley's picture taken with Santa last year (click here for the Santa picture post), we opted for a nice calm spring picture that would not include traumatizing Presley by making her sit on the lap of an 8 foot white rabbit in the middle of the mall.

One of the local children boutiques was having a photo shoot for spring pictures with real live chicks! I wasn't quite sure what Presley would think about that, but I knew it had to be better than the alternative. 5 cute little, yellow, fluffy, sweet baby chicks vs. strange man in a gigantic bunny suit...hmmmm....I think we'll take the baby chicks.

Of course, she surprised me and did so well with the baby chicks. She loved to pet them and even gave them kisses. However, after about 5 minutes the novelty of these cute little creatures wore off and she was ready to get out of there.

Oh well, at least we got a few cute shots of her and the chicks together. This one was my favorite.
Hope everyone has a beautiful spring and a very happy Easter!

ABC Wall

We just finished the newest addition to Presley's play room. It's an alphabet wall that I saw on another blog. I loved it so much that I decided to recreate it for Presley. It took way longer than I thought it would, but I really love the way it turned out. If I never see another can of spray paint, it will be too soon!
