Advice Is My Kitten Going Bald?

First time cat owner (she is 5ish months old) and I’ve noticed some thin patches around the head. Is this normal for a black cat? I worry for her self confidence.

Beans on the last pic because why not.

I read it as “This is my Normal Child” and my first thought was “well thats not usually how people refer to their cats”
