Hair

During one of the detail scan nearing my EDD, the specialist who did my ultrasound commented that she can see Lil Shauna's hair. As such, I always picture her as a baby with lots of hair. This is also in line with the fact that Daddy Lim and I have pretty much hair.

However, Lil Shauna was born with little hair.Yes, this is her. Dun doubt.
She was plagued badly by cradle cap and was "shedding" hair badly when she was about 4 months old. At certain point of time, she was almost bald. We often joked about the need to bring her to Yunan. Hoho.

We fussed about her "hairless" head. We wonder if we should have shaved her botak when she's one month and 4 months' old. Dun ask me why, apparently some old wives' tales about shaving promoting thick hair growth. But I am just one stubborn mummy. I read that babies' 1st head of hair are not the real hair. They shed their "hair" and grow their real hair when they are about 6 months' old. Thus, I insisted on sparing the razor on Lil Shauna's head despite little or no hair. Whatever hair that Lil Shauna has was so smooth and fine, I just couldnt shaved them away. Moreover, she's our baby, if she can get or fat genes, I bet she should get our hair genes too mah. ;p

Her hair finally starting spouting when she was about 6 months. For awhile, bcos of the Armani hairstyle that she carries, she was mistaken for a boy.

But God bless and her hair grew and grew.

Recently, we noticed that her hair has grown a little too long, especially at the back, her ears and her fringe. I was actually quite worried that her fringe is going to poke her eyes.

We knew that a visit to the barber was necessary but was too stingy to spend the money for the barber to cut that little bit of hair for Lil Shauna. I often joke with Daddy Lim that he will hold Lil Shauna's head while I cut her hair or vice versa. However, Daddy Lim wasnt game. He was worried that Lil Shauna will end up with only one ear or one eye. -.o" So, we procrastinated and procrastinated.

We visited grandaunt on Saturday. She too notice Lil Shauna's hair and we were just mentioning about cutting her hair and grandaunt was full of enthu. She whipped out her scissor and was all ready to cut Lil Shauna's hair while she was drinking milk. I tot no harm since it is still a month from her bday and hair does grow. This is the 1st time that we ever cut Lil Shauna's hair. I went "gugu, little bit, not too much... too much.. little bit" while grandaunt was trying to do the cut.

Poor Lil Shauna was at our mercy. Hohoho. The result?? Well, I think it is not too bad! Grandaunt was pretty pleased too. She commented that she cut Daddy Lim's hair 30 years ago too. Hohoho.

Daddy Lim says that Lil Shauna resembles Dr Spock now. Got meh?
