First Haircut

With all of the hair he had on his head when he was born, it’s no wonder we had to give Riley his first haircut when he was just 6 weeks old! We cut it a little bit by his ears and along the back of his neck because it was just getting too long. Kenny used the sideburn trimmer on his electric razor, and it worked pretty well, as did our placement of Riley fully clothed in his bathtub for the entire process (right before his bath on Sunday night). Granted, it’s not the best or most perfect haircut in history, but we accomplished what we wanted to, and Riley does look better!

The morning of….he has no idea what’s coming!

After

I’ve also recently discovered that he has developed pretty bad cradle cap. Yuck! I hate seeing those nasty flakes in his gorgeous hair! Some of the flakes are pretty big, too, and they stem from multiple patches on his head. I hope it doesn’t stick around too long, but in the meantime we’ll do our best to control it by shampooing really well during his baths and combing it out afterwards. Please let me know if anyone has any better suggestions!
