Bye-bye Werewolf Baby

When you were born you had tiny soft hair all over your body. Its called Lanugo. We lovingly called you our Werewolf Baby when we mentioned it.

Your tiny werewolf hairs are slowly falling out. Daddy noticed most of the ears on your ear are gone, those were our favorite werewolf baby hairs.

Your body grew the lanugo hair when you were in mommy's belly to help protect your skin. When you were in mommy's belly there was some creamy sticky stuff on you called vernix, it sticks to the lanugo better than bare skin, and the vernix protects your skin while you were growing and being born. The nurses and midwife helped wipe you clean when you came out.

You don't need your lanugo anymore, but it makes mommy a little reminiscent of when you were very tiny and I got to see you for the first time, noticing all the hair on your ears and back.

Mommy didn't take a picture of your werewolf hairs but here is a picture of you when you were sleeping outside mommy's belly for the first time.
