Saying goodbye to the "Mullet"

Lily's hair growth in review

July - 2010 - when they handed Lily to us she had no hair, not because it couldn't grow, but because they shaved it off in China.


September - 2010


October 2010


November 2010 - look how thick it is, it was never this flat, always sticking up



Christmas 2010 - it started to grow at the back - people stopped mistaking her for a boy (probably because I cold finally put a bow in her hair).





April 2011 - we have the "Mullet"




So it was time for Lily's first haircut





with a little distraction from food - this cooperative attitude lasted all of 5 min then it was a matter of trying to hit a moving target.





Introducing the "BOB"





Thanks Kym - you did amazing - how did you get it so straight on such a moving target?








Don't I look more like a three year old - not a baby anymore :)

Oh, she's still all baby! Look at that chubby chin. My friend who brought her daughter home from China last year had almost an identical post on her blog about losing the mullet. I guess it's a phenomenon common to many parents of shaved babes. I was just happy to be able to put tiny ponies into our daughter's hair three months after she got home. She looked like a bumblebee, but at least they were in!

Aaahhhh.....baby girl!!!! Sooo precious. I love it. She's so stinking CUTE! That girl is going to have one serious head of hair when it gets long. She has the thickest hair ever!

Sweetie pie.
