our mohawk baby

little e has a minor case of cradle cap... it's pretty mild and mostly just looks like she has bit of dandruff. our pediatrician said that before bath time, we could rub a bit of baby oil on her scalp, gently scrub with a toothbrush to loosen the dry skin, then rinse & shampoo her hair as normal.

so, we decided to try it out. the whole toothbrush thing sounded a little odd, and i thought it might bother e but she really didn't mind at all. and she loves bath time, so she enjoyed that part. until we were done and i dried her off... normally, i just have to gently give her head a few rubs with the towel - and voila! hair is dry. well, it wasn't drying... and looked pretty greasy... and i quickly realized the baby oil didn't get rinsed out all the way.

well, we went for hair wash round 2. and still, her hair was just a bit greasy. well, we decided to roll with it. and being the cool baby she is, ellery rocked a little mohawk the rest of the day. and might i say, she looked like one cool chick :)
