"Pretty Boy" Lathan's Hair

To answer your question...NO, I'm not cutting it! Haha! I've had that question posed so many times, its been funny. I do believe that for security's sake, we should keep it long so everyone can recognize him from a mile away. ;)

So he got some great features--dark, curly locks of hair, blue eyes, long lashes, pink lips, and olive skin...he is a "pretty" boy. We were over at a friend's house yesterday and the host kept saying "come on over here pretty...uhh...boy", and one time he said "good girl" after Lathan gave him a hi-five. HAHA! He couldn't help it! Lathan is just...well...pretty!

This child is going to be a handful with the girls. He is a real flirt! I mean when he gets a hold of a grown woman's gaze, he won't let her go! He'll smile, then shyly look away, make her smile, then look back and do it all over again. Not to mention his smooth hands. Ahem. Just a few funny stories on that regard, thank goodness. He is all about the ladies and when you give him a smile, there's no telling how long you'll be staring at this baby. He definitely has mommy wrapped around his little finger, and he doesn't have to work hard to get his caretakers wrapped either!

Don't let his pretty boy looks fool you--he's all boy with a great left arm! He rotates his shoulder when he throws and practices his "form" when the ball isn't in his hands. He's a great catch and loves nothing more than to play ball or yell "OH!", like "just missed it!". He also thing everything goes, "RAWR!"...it could be a picture of a bunny rabbit, it still goes "RAWR!". Funniest thing I've ever heard!

He is a musical genius. Nothing can calm him like music or singing. He's a singer and praiser in the car and loves to tap on his legs to the beat of the music. He keeps music time really well and many times will keep tapping through most of the song! I am thoroughly impressed. It's amazing how God puts people together--God fashioned little Lathan just for me--he's beautiful. I've not said that often about a boy!

So how long am I going to let his hair grow? I don't know. I'm hoping to find a great barber that can keep his length but take away enough from the bottom so that he doesn't look like a girl... ;)

Here he is, at dinner. What's a little spaghetti on your lips? Perfectly normal...


Stop looking at me like that; I can't stop staring!


You're so awesome! I love your smile! Of course, one of my favorite pictures...the focus landed on his hair..boo! Oh well, his personality shines through!
