Bald Baby
When Kelli Nicole saw T1 in Portland she said “He has hair!”. Apparently his hair is so fine and blonde and that those who haven’t seen him in person might not know he has any, but he does. I left it wet for pictures so you can see it better.
See? Hair!
He won’t go much longer without another buzz though, because the back left side looks like this:
Sick! Sick! Sick! Hopefully soon he will stop rubbing his head against the bed so violently that he loses everything.
Someday, he will have hair. Maybe by his first birthday?
Who needs hair when you have baby blues like that?

I think his superfine hair is adorable! I agree it’s much more obvious in person, though I see it in most of the pictures you post. Isn’t it funny how our minds fill in details in photographs once we know they’re there?
1Oh so cute!!!
2Oh my goodness!! He is so. stinkin’. cute!
3He’s so cute. I too didn’t realize he had hair.
4Such a cutie! Those eyes are mesmerizing!
5Don’t worry, you aren’t alone in the “my baby looks bald” world. Addie did and Grace’s hair is a little darker, but still barely there enough to look pretty bald and be mistaken for a boy. =)
6I love the comb-over look in that last picture. Who needs hair??
He just keeps getting cuter and cuter!
7He looks older with hair! Was the continual buzzing the original plan? I thought when you posted about the first buzz that it was a 1 time thing.
Good gracious he is cute.

We are going to keep buzzing until it grows in evenly. This next time will actually be his third buzz!
I think his hair is cute. Have you thought about just buzzing the back/sides and leaving the top longer-giving him like a little boy haircut? Of course T1 looks adorable with a buzz cut too though
9I didn’t have hair as a baby - probably not until I was 18 months or so could you actually see hair, and even that was blonde fluff. Now my hair is incredibly thick, though, so I have no worries for T1!
10you got my thoughts exactly - the whole post I was thinking, this kid is so cute, who cares about the hair??
11Lol, do all babies have this issue, and people just don’t notice? Lol, I doubt others would notice the un-even-ness, but of course you spend all day with him, so you would notice the little things!
12Well looky there, he does have hair! I didn’t realize. Those blue eyes really are amazing.
13You’re kid is so freaking cute. He almost makes me want to procreate.. almost. But don’t tell my fiance, haha. Almost still scares him.

I’m the same way! I am terrified of babies, but T1 is honestly the first that I have ever thought was cute. I really want to steal him sometimes!!!!
OMG he’s NEVER going to have a full head of hair if you keep buzzing it! Just let him be a baby - they’re not perfect you know, and neither are you!

Haha, it is silly isn’t it?
Bean’s hair is super curly on top and then fades down on the sides and in the middle of her head there is a little bald circle. She’s 8 months and at times it bothers me but I know it will grow in evenly. Plus, I could not imagine cutting her little curls!
16He has far more hair than I did at that age. Ok, at that age and until I was three
So handsome with his baby blues!
17oh man, i LOVE bald babies. i just do! it totally emphasizes their babyness, which is so delicious and fleeting.
harps and t1 have about the same amount of hair — hers is slooowwwly growing. but i’m in no rush!
18He is getting so big and look at all that hair!!
19I love it!! He is so cute!
20He might be rubbing his head against his bed because it’s itchy as it grows in.
21So cute! It looks so much longer when it’s wet. I seriously didn’t even notice the bald spot when I saw him, ha! Those eyes and that smile just kept me focused on that adorable face!
22He is such a lovely baby.
