Finally!

Of the three girls, Leila was born with the least amount of hair. She is almost 22mths and has as much hair as Ava did around 18mths and Madison at about 12mths. It has also been growing in oddly. The back and front are longer, but the middle is short. It has a kind of mullet thing going on. The only things I have been able to do with it, thus far, are put it in a fountain on top of her head or push the front to the side and secure it with a clip.

Well, yesterday I was messing with it and noticed that it could quite possibly be long enough to put up in some kind of ponytail. I quickly grabbed a comb and band to attempt it. I noticed that it wasn't long enough on the sides to do one ponytail, yet. So, I grabbed another band and tried pigtails.

Five minutes of wrestling with her to sit still, I managed to make two tiny pigtails sit atop her head. I think she looks just precious. I held her up to the mirror, and she immediately squealed with delight. I put her down, and she ran upstairs to show her sisters. She climbed the stairs into the gameroom and pointed at her hair yelling for them to take notice.

They loved it, of course. Ava said that she looks like Boo from Monster Inc. We all agree. She is too darn cute for words! The only problem is she doesn't look like a baby at all anymore. She is officially a little girl.

  1. I'm still waiting on Jill's hair to be long enough to do something with. Okay, okay, I exaggerate. But man, it took forever for hers to grow.

    It is kind of bittersweet, these moments where they grow up. Almost makes you want another. Ha! Notice I said you, not me.

  3. She was probably officially a girl long before the big tails, but I get your meaning. Beautiful family - precious smiles. Take care of them.
