Haircuts and Portraits

This morning we got Charlie's hair cut in preperation for pictures this afternoon; having his hair cut, it appears, continues to rank right up there with getting shots -- he cried the whole time despite being bribed with lollipops.

He enjoyed his photo shoot considerably more (see above pictures). He was very happy to climb up on the stage and pose for the camera ("Cheese!" he would say whenever he was asked to smile.) The main problem seemed to be the holding still part -- the photographer would get him situated and then would come at him with her feather "tickler" in hopes of getting him to smile. Charlie, however, would shriek, get up and run. We did, however, manage to get a few good shots.
