the life of baby jude

I got my FIRST haircut today! Can you believe it? Man, my hair was long. By the end of the day, I looked like some crazy old scientist, with my hair sticking out in every direction! Actually, Mommy said I looked like Doc Brown from "Back to the Future!" I'm not sure who that is, but he doesn't sound particularly cute. Since the holidays are coming, M&D decided it was a good time to take me to get my hair trimmed. They took me to Carmela, who is the very nice lady who cuts Mommy's hair. I know her because I've been going with Mommy to get her hair cut since I was a little baby.
When we got there, they sat me in the chair and gave me a little smock to wear. I was a little unsure of what was going on, but one of the other ladies gave me a sucker so all was right with the world-- for about two minutes. Soon, I got a little scared. Not to mention, I was afraid I was going to look like a total dork after my cut. Since I was crying, Daddy had to pick me up, but that determined Carmela just kept trimming away until it was all even. While I was a bit annoyed at the time, I must admit I apprecite her diligence. I look dashing and she did a great job! She didn't give me a dorky bowl cut or a baby mullet or anything! I even got to keep my little curls in the back. Everyone who has seen me has said that I look like such a big boy. What can I say, folks, Jude isn't a baby anymore!

Here's the "after" shot. What do you think? Mommy wanted to take more pics, but I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so maybe in a few days. It's cute, no?
