Before......
After!!!!
As I sit here knowing I need to be in bed, yet hanging on to a slightest hope that it will snow tonight and I can spend another day with my now hairless child, I felt compelled to tell all about our "latest" adventure as new parents. It never ceases to amaze me how we as new parents do EVERYTHING wrong the first time around. For example....have you ever tried to put in the base of a car seat, changed a diaper wondering what is that all over the wall (pee pee), making a mass amount of formula for your child's bottles the next day and wondering why it didn't make enough when you know you measured it correctly (putting the formula in first, then adding the water to the 30 ounce line-did I pay attention in science class, does formula take up space???), way underdosing your child with his antibiotics because you read the dropper wrong (like we have time to look at that closely), try to burp your child over the shoulder and then feel it running all down your back.......I could go on and on and on! Well, after finally hearing enough of everyone making fun of our balding child.....even Dr. Eastham recommended hair club for men (as you can see from his pictures)....we decided to get an electric razor out.....with a guard....and just cut it shorter where it didn't look so bad. After blaming Josh's razor, everyone for making fun of his hair and calling him sloth (from the Goonies - "Baby Ruth"), Kelley for suggesting the idea, and my own darn bad luck, I have come to terms with the fact that we butchered our child's hair! The razor was a little off to say the least, and after a long, LONG sobbing cry, I could only blame myself....and Josh a little. I mean....it was his crappy razor. So, we've come to terms with it and just say he has that Brad Pitt thing going on! Pray it will grow soon!!!!
Oh, and by the way, I met one of my many future girlfriends....Ella Mackenzie Stiles. She is a UT fan, but hey, they can't all be goodlooking and perfect!

After attempting to cut all three of my guys hair with razors, I have decided to go with the sahggy look for now. Although, Owen informed me that he has a "rat tail" (Chad's education/or horror from his hair days)growing and we need to cut it. On a brighter note, I have heard that if you cut all their hair off at an early age, it will come in more evenly...Just go with that theory...it sounds good right? :-)
Sorry SHAGGY look!
