I kept DD's from her first hair cut.... I just put it in her baby book (it had a special little pocket for first haircut).... I'm really glad I kept it as I think I would really regret it if I didn't keep it... I'm not to sure if my mum kept mine
DD has her baby box - it has things like her hospital bands, a couple of dried roses from the flowers people sent us, her baby cards and so on...and yes, a lock of her hair though that came from her first haircut at about 18 months cause she was a little baldie
My mum didn't keep much from us as babies, I don't even really have any baby photos left as I think they got left with my father who I'm not in contact with anymore. DD loves her baby photos and her box, so I'm glad we've got those for her.
I definately did! If it was me, and I could go back and do it again - I wouldn't have chopped it off at all! Well, maybe just had it cut in a different way. But yes. Grabbed as much of it in a nice 'lock' as I could. It's in an envelope with the date on it in a metal keepsake tin in his room. He was 2 days shy of his 2nd birthday.
