Boy comb your hair!

The jury is still out on exactly what shade of hair The Pirate is going to end up with. He started out with a great bushy head of dark hair as you can see in this pic from his early days.


















Then his mop began to fall out.

And now he's got this crazy, tufted look going on. Sometimes it looks brown and sometimes it's the color of golden wheat but it's always standing up and out. Here's what he looks like today. The "Owie" you see over his left eyebrow is the result of minor surgery he had last Friday to remove a cyst he has had since birth. Sounds much worse than it was. The Pirate was a champ throughout the entire process. Cysts are apparently quite common with newborns (who knew?!) and the entire removal event was no big deal. Thank goodness.
