Bald is beautiful?

Well, it's official, Connor is losing his hair. I can't be sure if he'll lose all of it, or if he'll just rock the old man/monk look where it's bald on top with hair on the side, but either way, he's losing hair.

It's sooo thin on the top and especially on the left side, which is the side he prefers to sleep on. You can see the little hairs on his crib sheet and it comes out when we give him baths and really any time of day. I noticed today, when I changed his outfit that some came out when I put the new shirt over his head.

This is probably the most sad I have ever been about a change Connor has made as he's grown older. His hair was such a signature part of his look and I'm having trouble picturing my sweet baby boy as a cue ball. We shall see. It may grow back in quickly, but I have my doubts. Check out the photo progression below. It's pretty clear in the pictures, but in person it's even more obvious. Oh sweet boy. Please don't lose all of your hair.
