1st Haircut for Miles

So Miles was born with a FULL head of hair:

As you can see he had a lot of hair - btw, I LOVE his little fro picture :) Anyway, a lot of people told me it would probably fall out the way it did with Jake and Brenden, who were born with hair, but nothing like what Miles had. However, as I suspected, it did not fall out. It has thinned a bit, but he definitely has a full head of hair still and it just keeps getting longer and longer. 

For most moms this probably isn't very bothersome, but for me? I miss having a bald baby. So I have been contemplating for a while whether or not to buzz it all off. It is growing crazy, uneven, and really long in some spots so I thought buzzing would give me my bald baby and allow it to start coming in more evenly. Well.........I didn't do it, as much as I wanted to, I didn't. BUT, I did trim things up a bit. Unfortunately, I don't have any good pictures to really demonstrate the ridiculousness of his hair recently, but if you look below at the picture I can try to explain what was going on and what I did.

If you look at his right ear above - so the left side of the picture - you can kind of see how his hair hangs over his ear. Well, if you were to pull all of that hair that tucks behind his ear out over his ear it would cover his ear and go all the way down past his earlobe - Hot, right? And this is how it was on both sides of his head. Just trust me when I tell you he looked ridiculous.

So I trimmed that hair and the hair along his neck line that was getting mullit-ish. As you can kind of see above, the hair now just sort flips out if it comes over his ears and is much shorter. It wasn't much of a haircut, but I can see a big difference. Definitely much less ridiculous looking now.

Now I am still a little bummed that I don't have a bald baby, but when I was about to buzz his hair I realized and accepted the fact that that is just not who Miles is. He's my old man looking baby with a whole bunch of hair :) And as much as I want to buzz his hair, I'll wait a little bit longer until he's ready for a "real" haircut at the barber :)
