Bald is Beautiful

{Guest Post by Reese}

Hair Tales (or lack there of) by Reese Abigail:

Did you know that when I was born (at 30 weeks and 1 day), that I hardly had any hair on my head and I didn't even have eyelashes or eyebrows yet?! I did have little hairs on my body my mommy said, but they went away. :) My hair on my head, however, has been slow to make an appearance... Follow me on my almost 2 year hair journey, will you?

This is me when I was a few weeks old- in the NICU- with a little fuzz. No eyebrows, no eyelashes.

When I came home, my mom began her 'disguising my bald head' by putting a big bow on it. By the way- my mom SURE looks TIRED in this picture. Not sure why...??

As I got a little older, yep, you got it: STILL no hair. At least my fuzz was better than Riley's fuzz. That's me on the right (your right).

By 6 months, I began to embrace my bald head. I liked it! I knew I was CuTe AnYwAy! ;)

Mommy liked it too, BUT... she still insisted on those giant bows. I actually liked them too!

As time went on, I began changing lots: crawling, laughing, growing teeth, but... still no hair.

By my FIRST birthday,

... I got to thinking:

I'll just put other things on my head if there's no hair there! Like:

Food,

hairbands,

bunny ears,

hats, and

sunglasses!

Bald REALLY is BeAuTiFuL, but I do have some news to share with you...

I'm getting a little hair!!!!

And Mommy thinks it will be curly! I'll keep you posted... ;)

Love,

Reese
