Jonah, who has, like his sister, inherited my vanity, is having a HUGE hair crisis. And as his personal stylist, I am befuddled about what to do. Ok fine, it’s not bothering him in the slightest. He pretty much just cares about unfettered access to my chestal region and not sitting in his own excrement. But his hair, my friends, is driving ME a little nutty! I need your advice!
‘Cause baby’s got ‘burns. SIDEburns. See?
While he is totally adorable (duh), and I loooove the fact that he has any hair at all, it’s a little loooong around the ears. It’s all “business in the front, party on the sides”. And it’s kinda freaking me out! The sideburns have gotten way ahead of the rest of his hair!
It looks ridiculous when I tuck them behind his ears:
But it also looks crazy when I just let them hang wild and free:
Should I cut them? Would that be criminal? Or let them grow even if he starts to look like the infant version of Martin Van Buren? (8th President of the United States, people!)
Whaddya think? Help my baby’s HAIRZ! (I’m talkin’ to you, UP!)
Jack had the same thing going on. It drove my husband crazy. He ended up trimming it around the ears, but swore to me that didn’t count as his first hair cut…. I didn’t really feel like I wanted to take pictures of my husband trimming around his ears for his scrapbook, you know!?!?
The kid is rockin’ the Joe Dirt look!
Let it ride, let go, let it flow!
The rest will catch UP with it soon enough.

As much as Jonah looks like a Brads, I would leave what hair he has alone, each follicle is already on a count down.
He can thank Clinton for that aspect of his fine-ness, also. I chose to trim around the ears.
I would probably trim, it’s just going to get longer.
I vote for a comb-over! 🙂
I say trim. You will feel better, and babies are allowed to have haircuts, too. My son had the male-pattern-baldness going on when he was a couple of months old, and I buzzed the back & sides with clippers so that it wouldn’t look longer than the top.
Mackenzie is on to something!
I say you leave it alone, I love that it’s business in the front and party on the sides.
He has the Brads comb over! I totally agree with Mackenzie!
Mac is right! Folicles are few and far between in our toxic gene pool…look in any direction dear, any direction.

West’s hair does the same thing… it’s still longer but the rest is catching up now… leave it funny and cute. (Because Mackenzie has a good point! ;-p)
Cut it! I worked as a hairstylist before I had my son, so let’s just say I’m a little OCD about hair:) My 2 1/2 year old has had a million little haircuts!!!!
