Give Me A Head Full of Hair...

Those of you who were particularly good at Highlights Hidden Object puzzles as a child may have noticed a couple of changes in Jack in the latest pictures. As of yesterday, he now has 5 teeth: the 2 front bottom ones, the most visible, and the top right front tooth and neighboring eye tooth which he got after screaming most of the plane ride home from New Zealand, the biggest headache...but that's another post. Also, a couple of weeks ago (June 22 to be exact), Jack got his first haircut. The CK has been pushing for Jack to get a haircut for some time. As Jack's lack of haircut edged him to resemble that of a Hasidic Jew (which he is not) or, as the New Zealand customs agent suggested, a girl (definitely not), I finally agreed that it was time. All grandparents had gotten to see his baby hair, so it was time to move onto the big boy hair. The only question that remained was what kind of haircut to get.

I advocated for a mohawk or at least a faux hawk. The CK thought cornrows might be low maintenance. Hank (our cat) expressed preference for a mullet or hockey hair as it is often known in Minnesota. Ultimately, Jack, the voice of reason won out - a simple big boy haircut.

Can you do anything about these cowlicks, lady?

I wish they served popcorn and milk here.

And then I said, hey, baby (and I do mean baby), what's your sign?

What do you think?

Yes, he has his mother's eyes (and eyelashes).

Cute, cute, cute.

Now I wanna hear about the trip to New Zealand.
