Poor Harper. She has been dealing with serious cradle cap over the last few months, and although it is finally going away, it is taking her hair with it. You may have noticed a couple of bald spots on the last post, but things have gotten a lot worse. The good thing is that her cradle cap is finally going away and Harper is spending a lot less time scratching her head. Tom decided to give her a little trim on the top of her head because 1) this makes it easier to treat the cradle cap, 2) she's eventually going to lose all the hair on top of her head anyway, 3) she now looks a lot less like a bald man with a comb over.
Here we are prior to the haircut.
Here is one of the bald spots. There is a matching one on the opposite side.
Here she is getting a little trim.
Here she is post-trim. She actually has a lot less hair on top now.
I will admit, I have shed tears over this. I loved Harper's beautiful hair. But it will grow back. In the mean time, I think Harper will be wearing lots of hats.

Ewwww, that's one bad case of cradle cap! However, don't worry. Harper's still a beauty. Now her admirers won't have the distraction of her hair and can focus on her cute face.
I'm just glad Tom is handy with the trimmer!
She still is beautiful. Hope you saved some of her hair, though!
I thought I saw a thin patch on a previous shot! That hair will grow out fast. In Mexico the tradition is to shave a girl bald when she is about two...to get rid of baby hair. The idea is that the hair that grows in is thick and strong....maybe you should try a shave?!?
