Now, I realize this may upset\/disappoint\/devastate\/enrage some of you, but we finally had to give Emrick a haircut! I know! Horrible! I’ve actually been thinking about it for a couple of weeks, but this week something happened that was the last straw. Emrick squirms when he sleeps, which always did funny things to his hair. But by this week, his hair had gotten so long that one morning I woke to find that his squirming had caused the hair from the entire back of his head to be matted and knotted (at least a dozen visible, tiny knots). It looked like animal fur. On top of that, the longer his hair got, the quicker it seemed to get greasy and gross after a bath. So tonight we gave him a haircut and a bath. But first, I took some last pics of his long, greasy coiffure — combed into various amusing styles, of course.<\/p>\n

I call this The Ralph Wiggum.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Al Capone Henchman<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Fascist Dictator<\/p><\/div>\n

We then proceeded to cut his hair. There are no pictures of that process because it proved to be a two man job. We took turns — one of us holding him, the other one cutting his hair. Then we gave him a bath. He didn’t so much as whimper during the bath, but the haircut upset him greatly…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

"It was HORRRRIBLE!"<\/p><\/div>\n

But soon he was dried, dressed, and camera-ready! He took comfort in gnawing on his sleeve.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yum, Yum. Cotton!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Emrick smiles at Daddy, off camera.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Despite his hair being pretty evenly cut, it still grows in multiple directions which makes it hard to manage! He's got about 80 cowlicks. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

"Aww shucks. Am I really THAT cute?"<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

"Pardon me? Do you have any Grey Poupon?"<\/p><\/div>\n

Emrick's First Hair Product: Marcus couldn't help himself. After a few shots, he went and got a dab of hair gel and gelled up the baby.<\/p><\/div>\n

"Moi?"<\/p><\/div>\n

Emrick and Daddy have a chat about Emrick's new 'do.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Emrick is very serious when offering constructive feedback on our haircutting skills. <\/p><\/div>\n

Emrick recovers from the hard evening with a pre-dinner snooze. What a sweet pea!<\/p><\/div>\n

With his hair cut so short and boyishly like this, Emrick looks about five years old!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
