Go Go Magic Mohawk!

If you were to take away Eli's stunning blue eyes, his infectious smile, and his heart melting hugs, there would still be one characteristic left that would still make people swoon over him: his mohawk. Every time we go out, there is, without fail, at least one person that shrieks, "Oh, I just LOVE his mohawk! Did you guys cut it that way or did it just grow out like that?" I have to agree with the masses that his natural mohawk is pretty cute, but we have never really made a big deal about it. It wasn't until recently that I gave in and started fixing it up into a proper mohawk. It's actually kinda fun to play with now that his hair is a little longer and we have been rubbing his head with lotion (which kinda acts like a hair gel) because of the dry weather.

Unfortunately, Eli's mohawk will soon go the way of the dodo bird, the Yugo, and movies in which Jim Carrey is actually funny. The hair around the rest of his head is finally starting to grow in and soon he will be just another long haired Austin hippy. For now I can only enjoy the awkward transition stage because he kinda has a Mr. T thing going: a mohawk with a little over the ears and around the back. I pity the fool that don't like his mohawk.
