Jacob's hair

From the time Jacob was born, he has had very challenging hair, as you can see from the first picture. Darrick wanted to cut it right away, but I told him you cannot take a little baby to the barber. So we dealt with it for many months. I finally gave in and we got Jacob a haircut. Soon after that his hair grew very thick so we started to get him buzz cuts. It looked cute on him and he has had his hair like this for about 4 years. But now he has decided that he wants to grow his hair out, I think because Micah is growing his out. This morning was the first time we could style it since it finally got long enough. But all his hair grows forward so I had to but gel in it to get it to stay to the side. What do you think?
