In the end he probably lasted 20 minutes or so, and I made it to a &#8220;mostly done&#8221; status. There were a few spots that were not well blended though&#8230; easily hid when I actually styled his hair &#8211; but who does that regularly with a baby boy?!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Spencers First Haircut\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ernstrom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09.26_S_haircut2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Spencers First Haircut\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ernstrom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09.26_S_haircut3.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Though he looked all cute and studly with his new do, I ended up putting some clippers to his head a couple of weeks later.
