Baby Hair

Sadie's cousin Will has an awesome blog entry about his hair that inspired me to address Sadie's hair situation.

Sadie was born with some dark hair all over her head. The most notable aspect of her coiffure was the obvious mullet.

A dusting of dark hair on top with flowing locks on the side and back

The hair on top then started to fill in

3 weeks old

The rest of it started to thin out, starting with the sides and working its way down which created the ultra mullet- medium length on top, very short around the middle and sides, and thick in the back.

1 1/2 months old & 3 1/2 months old

Starting in November, a bald spot began to emerge at the back of Sadie's head and the ultra ultra mullet was created


We naively thought that eventually all the hair at the back of her head would fall out. All of the hair thinned out except for a small Hitler patch (named for Die Fuhrer's mustache) underneath her bald spot.

6 months old

9 months old - last week

That stupid patch is holding on strong, BUT I am proudly here to state that Sadie's hair has started growing again on the top of her head! That hair is also growing in blond. The back and sides are a different story- her bald spot is as unsightly as ever and the existing hair is dark brown.



Check out that mop on top. I can actually put it in a little pony tail but there is no need.

This marks the end of a long story about hair.

Sadie's patch is impressive, as is the mullet. What I can't get over is how much hair she has on top! She is starting to look like a little girl (as opposed to a baby)!
