My sister was born (24 years ago) without a single hair on her head. At 12 months she had bright orangey-blonde hair that stood at least 6-8 inches off her head- straight up!! She looked like a little blonde Don King. Now she has gorgeous hair, without even really trying, no matter what she does to it. I do love her though :)

My daughter was like your kids except the little bit of hair she had was blonde which made her really look bald. She was probably about 18 months or so when she started not looking so bald but it was still a sad sight. I had to dress her in pink all the time so people knew she was a girl - although sometimes even that didn't help. :)

We were just talking about this yesterday when I was admiring a 4 day old baby. She wasn't bald but instead had about 1 inch long hair. I haven't had any baldies either (in fact I cut my 2nd sons hair when he was only a couple of weeks old in some places. I think it is so fun how different God makes everybody.

My first had his first hair cut just before his 3rd birthday. My second had a trim around his 2nd birthday, because he wanted a hair cut like his big brother, not because he really needed it.

Whenever I read lists of "things you need before baby arrives" I giggle when it recommends a hairbrush. I don't think I have ever used a hairbrush with my kids, even though my eldest is 4!

I love my beautiful bald babies!

No bald babies here...mine come with lots of hair but perhaps its from my insanely thick long hair in the genes, I don't know...However I know of several families with bald babies and even into toddlerhood. One family I know their 3 year old has less hair than my baby, and she is healthy.

Babies are beautiful, hair or no hair! :)

My almost-18 month old has about as much hair as yours do in these pictures. I was a baldy as a baby, too, so I'm not holding out much hope for Baby #2 (due in August) to have any hair.

By the way, I found your blog recently & I am very much enjoying it. Thanks for the effort you put into the blog!

I have little baldies too! It's so funny.. looking back at the 1st one when she was 1 year old.. finally had the hair that most newborns do and I was ecstatic..of course she would never wear hairbows but now that her hair is half down her back (at almost 4yo!) She never really had all that much hair until at least 2.5! My son had a tad more but never got a haircut until he was about 2 and it wasn't much of a cut lol. My youngest has the most hair any of them had but she's still bald at 9mo. I laughed at my baby books when they said "hair is forming" even with all the indigestion... no hair!

None of my 3 had hair. They were all bald for the first year and then it slowly grew in by age 2. The younger 2 were twins so I was sure to put my girl in dresses and pink all the time so she didn't look like her brother!

my son was born looking like a 19th century composer (that nothing-on-top, but a puffy-ring-around-the-sides-and-back thing.)

I have to say both my kids had full heads of hair at birth and kept it. My son who will two next month gets a hair cut every 3-4 weeks. He had 3 hair cutes of an inch or more before he was a year and his first one was at least 3 inches b/c I refused to cut it and it stuck out all over the place, would not settle down! My daughter is 3 months and she has a full head, just like her brother, but this last two weeks her curls have come, so it's all over the place and won't stay down! I love it! But bald babies are cute too ;)
