After much deliberation and internet searching (which was very unhelpful by the way), we decided it was time to give Ellie her first haircut! Her hair has been quite mullet-ish for a while. The top is not growing in near as quickly as the bottom, hence the mullet. We decided that although we could not completely get rid of the mullet, we could at least make it less mullet-like. I was also getting sick of the boy comments despite the pink and purple clothes. We decided this was another attempt at making her look more girly.
This is a before picture. It's actually from a few days earlier. (Yes, pretty long!):
I'm sure from looking at this picture you're wondering what the debate was. What I liked about the back being a little long was that we could easily put her hair in pigtails. Now I'm not so sure. :(
Now for the haircut....
This is a pic of the second snip (The first is almost on video until my memory card became full just as Joe was cutting!)
Ellie noticing a spider crawling up her arm:
Ellie seemed to enjoy the haircut immensely as she experienced her first popsicle ever!
Almost done:
A little bit of the hair we saved:
Finished product!
From the back her hair maybe even looks a little girly! Nice work "dada"! :)

Looks fantastic! And I don't know how anyone could mistake that little doll for a boy!
It looks VERY pretty and very GIRLY! Good job, Joe!
i love the pictures!
EVERYONE thinks anna is a boy.
we went to visit paul's grandma and she kept calling anna a boy (despite the pink shirt). we didn't feel so bad since, um, grandma has dementia, but then all the other visitors and staff members thought she was a boy, too!
i've had people ask me if she's a boy when she was wearing a DRESS. good grief.
Nice work! I'm so glad you saved the hair :)
