Babies need haircuts, too. The age for their first haircut is normally decided by the child’s parents. There is no good time, especially after a nap.
Barbers love children. Many a man has visited the same barber for his entire life and now his own children are patrons.

Yes, babies cry and scream, but that’s nature’s way of strengthening their precious little lungs. Putting a child in a “barber chair disguised as a fire engine” is like a dentist putting a child on a pogo stick. Not good…a booster seat, yes.

Barbers never retire…just glance over the obits for a barber. Most of the time the obit reads something like this:

Harry’s Tonsorial Parlor, a business he inherited from his father. The elder Harris ran the shop until his death in 1981.”

Thanks Dr. Rob and all the medical professionals who skillfully keep the human body running smoothly.

PS
Welcome to the world, all you babies born today, and yes, you can get a car at 16 if you keep your grades up.

Physical Exam: Hey Baby (Part 1)…

Today was an excellent day; excellent because I got to examine a bunch of babies. If you are a baby-lover like me, one of the best ways to lift your mood is to walk into a room and have a 6-month old give you a toothless grin….

Very nice post, Rob. I miss seeing the newborns, although I never thought I’d hear myself say that at the time. I think having a child of your own and seeing just how resilient and strong they are makes one more comfortable when dealing with them.

Thoroughly enjoyable reading. Brought back lots of memories. And I agree about the smells. Give me a disastrous diaper any day of the week.

Your pal,

Aw shoot, Dr. Rob.

My day job is in public service. Any given week, I meet people between 2 days and 92 years old. The littlest ones make me weepy with joy, they are so lovely –and the very oldest ones, likewise.

But those damn folks in-between? What is their problem(s)? Hope you will address adult colic and emotional stenosis in a future post?

Keep trying to tell myself that the most annoying 30-somethings, talking on a cell-phone while wagging a finger and demanding assistance, were once were beautiful babies too (this does not work, but hey, I try).

Last year, I met a lady in her late 80s who was fluent in 9 languages — none of which were English (a shortcoming for which she eloquently apologized, in ENGLISH). So she was fixin’ to learn…Supple minds in those smart old people, eh?

your bumbly pal,
tl (who thinks even FLKs are gorgeous ‘cuz they aren’t cell-phone wielding 30-somethings?)

oooo I wish I knew where that picture of Benjamin was. Perfect picture of a baby with MILD bicoronal cranisynostosis. When my son’s girlfriend was over here he was showing the picture to her and said “and this was my Warf stage”

I think he kyped all the possibly embarrassing pictures, including any that were in his ‘warf’ stage …
