My Receding Hairline

Right after I was born with my very full head of hair, a bunch of people told Mommy that it's very common for babies to lose the hair on the back of their heads. This happens because we babies spend a lot of time on our backs and our heads rub against whatever surface we're laying on. So, we lose hair in spots.

Mommy thought that surely, this wouldn't happen to me because of how much hair I had when I was really little (and that at first I didn't lay on my back a lot because I was being held all of the time). But, sure enough, over the past month I have lost a lot of hair in a funny ring around my head. It's still long in the back and thinning out a bit on the top, but you can clearly see the ring. Mommy calls it my 'Monk's Mullet' and Daddy just prefers to keep a hat on me.

Don't worry, it will grow back!
