Fauxhawk (or Faux-hawk)

If you look up "fauxhawk" on Wikipedia, you get this definition: "an approximation of a mohawk, made without shaving or buzzing the hair on the sides of the head, allowing an imitation of the look of a true mohawk without having to commit to removing most of one's hair."

Now, this implies that a fauxhawk is a hair style...there is no discussion about what to do when the fauxhawk is naturally occurring!! See the pictures of Miles here - I assure you, we did NOT style it this way!

We've determined that Miles's TWO cowlicks might have something to do with this ever-present style. Note how the right side is counter-clockwise and the left is clockwise, causing them to meet in the middle and...yep...you guessed it...create the fauxhawk!

While mommy and daddy are busy examining, discussing, and taking pictures of the new baby's hair, Jonas is busy being a toddler. I think the new book I purchased out of desperation, The Toddler's Busy Book, puts it nicely: "...most of what they do is motivated by an interest in cause and effect."

As in, "What happens if I sit on my bike backwards?"
"What happens if I poke Miles in the face?"
"What happens if I purposefully put my foot very near Miles's head?"
"What happens if I pretend like I'm going to RIDE MY BIKE over Miles?"

And, "How tightly can I hug Miles before mom breaks it up?"

A moment of peace...just a moment...
