Rule #29: Appearance isn't everything

So I haven't taken any pictures of Evan for about a month. I know, what kind of first-time mother am I? It's for a really silly reason too. I HATE having to slick his hair down because of his eczema!! It just makes his beautiful hair look greasy and then it looks like I'm trying hard to "do" his hair, with out actually doing it. With boys, especially when they are babies, giving their hair a style...it's just too much for me. But because I have to lotion his head twice a day....I am forced to style it.

I do realize this is not a big deal, he's still healthy and I should be documenting his growing body, I know. I just hate lotion in his hair. For a while I tried to only put it in at night, but then his eczema got worse...so now we're back to twice a day.

So today I decided to take some before and after pictures of Evan. Alex doesn't like Evan's hair to be matted to his scalp either, so if we don't have anywhere to go, he sticks it straight up. (Which just looks silly....but look at how long his hair is getting!)



And here is Evan post bath, lotion free. Isn't his little head so cute!?!? I'm sure eventually he will grow out of the extreme lotion need (At least I pray!) but until then, I'll just have to look past it and take pictures anyway.


Since I hadn't taken any pictures in a month I couldn't stop myself once I got started, so here are a few more that I thought were particularly adorable.
I love watching him play with his feet. He is so fascinated by them...super cute!
