Goldilocks

I have never cut Julia's hair. Not even a trim. I probably should, eventually, because as you can see it is quite long when it is wet and straight out of the bath. And when it dries and the natural curls flourish, it can get to be quite the lion's mane. But I adore her baby curls. I love waking up to see her crazy hair that she politely asks me to pull back so she can eat her oatmeal. I love to tease that she is the "little girl who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead..." as the poem my Mom taught me goes. I love simply sweeping her hair into a messy bun without even using a brush some mornings. I love twisting her damp ponytail around my finger to create a perfect ringlet which will last all day. And I love the way her wispy curls frame her sweet face.

Gabe's hair is starting to curl a little in the back. Do you we have another little Jonny on our hands? I certainly wouldn't mind. Bring on the curls. I am in love.

I miss her so! Don't cut it!

NEVER cut that hair! I want to touch it so bad. Her hair is the kind of hair we all envy. And those pictures are really good! My babies' hair is starting to curl a little in the humidity, but I don't think it's going to last like Julia's has, with KC and me both having extremely straight hair.

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure it will need a trim soon. But NOT a cut!

So cute! I have already cute Millie's hair twice--just so she could see. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the curls. That little girl of yours is beyond cute!

Julia's curls are definitely one of a kind...I know girls that spend lots of time trying to get their hair to look that way!

Those pictures are darling, she's so beautiful Mel!

Seriously, that hair is to die for. I love it. I refuse to cut Jane's too--she sat in the chair and asked me to cut it today (the boys were getting cuts), so I pretended to do it, then told her she was done. I wouldn't even trim a centimeter. When Juju's is wet, she looks just like my Janey!
