Scary Hair!

So, after a few years of going with my natural hair color, I decided to get highlights again. I have missed having blond hair and was ready to commit to the up-keep. So, I get my hair done in the morning while Alan and the kids head down to the Wild Animal Park. The kids came back home around 4 and can't wait to give me a big hug after being away for so long. So, I bend down to give William a big hug only to have him pull away with a worried look on his face. He stood there silently for several minutes with such a serious stare. Finally he told me to "change it back!" "Change it back to black!" Which was his way of telling me to change my hair back to the way it was. He then continued by saying, "Your hair is scary mommy!" He ran into the playroom and refused to get near me for a few hours. I pointed out sometime that afternoon that my hair was more like his now. So by bedtime he was far less frightened and came up to me with a big hug and said, "your hair is like mine!"
Scary hair really wasn't the "look" I was going for. But I think my little guy is starting to come around. :-)

Alyssa's Doctor Visit

Weight: 23lbs and 4 ounces (She is in the 95th percentile)
Height: 29 inches

Alyssa did very well for her Dr.'s appointment today. She received one shot today and didn't even cry. She is very healthy and has already tripled her birth weight. I suspect she'll be close to 25lbs by the time her first birthday rolls around.

William is 27 lbs and is still 4 pounds heavier than his baby sister. I suspect that she will catch up to him very soon!!
