Ava’s First Haircut

A first haircut is a momentous occasion for parents here much like it is for us in the States. The tools, however, aren’t quite the same. Needless to say when I saw the razorblade appear I nearly freaked out. I was more uncomfortable and on edge than Ava was during the process. Somehow, Souwnet managed to shave Ava’s head without a nick…quite a feat as far as I’m concerned. I sure hope, though, that that is the first and last time I’m called on to serve as photographer for an infants first cut…or perhaps “hairshave” would be the better word.
