Poor Knox!




If you've been following the pictures closely, you may have noticed that Knox's hair is getting pretty thin. Poor guy, he's not even four months old and he already has a "comb-over!" The pediatrician said that they might lose their hair (something about the trauma of being born causing their hair to stop growing for a few months, and so really he's just losing his hair normally, but since there is no new growth, it seems like he's going bald). Luckily, Piper's hair seems to be staying put. Or possibly hers is just thicker so it's not as noticable (poor Knox got mommy's straight, fine hair!). In any case, at first we thought that maybe his hair was just looking thin because his head was getting bigger (and thus his hair is more "spread out" on his head!) But after a bath, the evidence is there...poor guy! Although I can't feel too bad for him because my hair is falling out these days, too. They say that pregnant women don't lose their hair, so 3 - 6 months after giving birth, all that hair that stayed put all those months starts falling out. Luckily I'm not dealing with a comb over (yet), but I do seem to be "shedding" all over my clothes!
