Jake was born with a head full of dark brown hair, which quickly receded and then fell out in funny chunks here and there. He has been left with new blond hair growing in short on the top, and a funny mullet of dark hair in the back and down his neck, and one funny long peak right on the very top of his head. The back of Jake's head is a little flatter than we would like it to be (babies these days have to sleep on their backs to prevent SIDS), and with a patch of dark long hair hanging straight down in the back, it just looked even more flat, and totally ridiculous. I have threatened to take the clippers to Jake's head in the last few weeks just to even it out.
Well last night, Ralph agreed with me and we took out the clippers and gave Jake his first haircut. We were careful to keep as much of the hair that we cut as possible as a keepsake. My friend Nicole had given me the cutest baby keepsake of three boxes tied with blue bow, to keep a lock of hair, a first tooth, and baby's hospital bracelet. So the haircut isn't *perfect* (mommy and daddy are by no means professional barbers), but it looks a thousand times better than it did before. We took the before and after pictures with Ralph's cellphone.
