After yet another major spit up into my very long, very wavy hair... I am ready to cut my hair.
Has your LO ever caused you to functionally change your style?
AND... any recommendations for a new haircut?
Here's me showing my long hair and the LO who pukes in it:
and my face, so you can decide if I can do short hair (and how short):

you have gorgeous hair! I would love waves like that...
I'm thinking I need to do the same. I have really long thick hair and LO wants to eat it every time I pick him up, haha
I think you could do almost anything with your pretty hair. maybe a shoulder-length cut with layers? that way you could still ponytail it when you need to..?

I like @Rachiecakes's suggestion regarding shoulder-length with layers . . . not too drastic (in case you have second thoughts), but enough that it should solve the problem of spit-up as an alternative styling product. 
And also still able to be pulled back into a ponytail.
I also agree that you have beautiful hair, and think that with your features (and face shape), you could pull off any length of hair!

@MsLipGloss: Hah, alternate styling product. Thank you!
@rachiecakes: Good point about the ponytail.

Gorgeous hair! I also think having it long enough to pull back in a pony tail is a good idea! I still have my hair up in a pony tail on most days and my LO is 2. I find alllll sorts of things in my hair if it's not up, like dried up yogurt, rice grains and random sticky substances. EW

I just cut 13 inches off my hair because LO was constantly pulling on it and I was ready for something new.
I think a long bob would be cute on you. Slightly longer in front to lengthen out your face and with long layers. Sitting right on top of your shoulders.

@Mrsdaredevil: Picture (of yours)? I know both you and blushink did it, too. I'm totally jumping on the bandwagon.
Thanks for the suggestion--that sounds like what I told my husband I might get.
Like this but a little longer?
@banana: Eww! LOL. This is exactly why I should cut it. If I cut it short enough, it will be long again when LO is old enough to stop throwing food into it.
My cousin recommended a high and tight. HAH
PS Thanks everyone for saying I have pretty hair.

Did it!
I LOVE it. Didn't get a great photo, but it's nice and short.

@MsLipGloss: Thanks. My DH, who really didn't want me to cut it, said, "I'm going to feel like I'm cheating on my wife for a little while until I get used to it." LOL.

@PasteMoo: LOL! That totally is totally something my DH would say.
