The Evolution Continues…

The evolution of Ryder’s hair that is!  I can’t believe that the last time we left off, this is what his hair looked like:

Oh how far we have come!  Let’s continue this journey…

Hair continued to grow in every direction:

8Months 112

But was still manageable when we went out in public:

8Months 133

And started to actually look like we had cut it into the perfect little boy cut:

9 Months 022

But then…it grew over his ears!

9 Months 069

Which is when most parents would insist on getting their child’s hair cut!  But not us…we just let it grow wild:

9 months 105

And continued our “swoop” trick when we needed it to look presentable:

9 months 147

Some people pay to get hairstyles like this:

9Months 031

Not Ryder, his is au naturale baby!

10 Months 031

Okay, so things started to get a little crazy, time to try a new part:

10 Months 220

Much better!  A little less preppy, a lot more skater dude!  He’s so versatile.

11 months 023a

But the bed head was absolutely out of control!

12 months 174

Desperate times call for desperate measures.  We had to pull out some new tricks, like the “hair pusher backer” during play time:

11 months 062

Adding a new product to our line – Hair Gel after bath time:

11 months 131

Sunglasses when out doors:

13 Months 050

And (don’t kill us when you get older Ryder) we even have to resort to the Bam-Bam look:

14 Months 019

And a hair curler!!

14 Months 136

Anything to keep it out of his eyes, because it just kept getting longer:

14 Months 002

And curlier (the one curl he used to have turned into about 5)

13 Months 192

And Longer:

14 Months 161

And curlier (which turned into about 10):

14 Months 141

Until it finally reached the point where it could be pushed behind the ears:

14 Months 112

And manipulated to stay out of the eyes:

14 Months 163

Who knows what will come of this beautiful:

14 Months 187

Blonde:

15 Months 144

Long, flowing, full head of hair:

15 Months 179

But we certainly aren’t ready to cut it!  I apologize if anyone thought that’s where this post was headed.  Boys with long hair are cool!

Just ask two of Ryder’s Grandfathers:

11 months 084 poppy[3][1]

Ryder’s Daddy:

15 Months 025

The only other little boy we know of named Ryder (Kate Hudson’s son):

kate-hudson-ryder[1]

And Bret Michaels!  Because A) He’s a rockstar!  B) He survived a brain hemorrhage just like Ryder! and C) he recovered from it, just like Ryder’s going to!

So, it just makes sense for Ryder to have long hair!

Our new motto: Long Hair, Don’t Care!
