Emmett's delightful curls are no more! Stephen said that if I didn't cut his hair soon, he'd do it. So rather than let Stephen get chop happy with him, I balded the little fella last night. He sat in the high chair with Stephen distracting him (ice-cream) while I snipped rings round him. He now looks like a right man instead of a baby. Actually, he looks even more like Grandad Colreavy, because he has that funny, flat shape to the back of his head. Lucky guy. He's also teething really hard for the last couple of weeks. His gums at the back, top and bottom, look to be all swollen and sore. Only one of the back teeth has actually come through with all the pain. He STILL doesn't have the two that go either side of the bottom two teeth either. Sure why do things in the right order? Anyway, along with the teething, his skin has gone to pot again. He gets dry patches to either side of his mouth. They must be very itchy, because he spends most of his time rubbing his face into things and clawing at his mouth. End result is one red, raw, bleeding mess. Poor little man looks terrible!
