Our New 3 Year Old

One Year Old

Alayna celebrated her "Golden" Birthday the other day (1 on the 1st :)) A year sure flew by!

Some pictures from her celebration that night...

I'm afraid Alayna's crazy hair days are coming to an end. It's starting to get too long on top to stick up, and instead flops to the side and into her eyes. Here are some of the last great pictures I captured of her famous stick-ee-up-ee hair. 

 

Peek-a-boo!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The End

9 Months Old...and...THE HAIR

Alayna is 9 months old today!

Check out that smile, and of course...THAT HAIR. It is a great conversation piece and we get a lot of comments. Today I got asked if it was the wind or static or what. I do blowdry it after baths, but the rest is just her natural awesomeness! 

Here is a reminder of what Bailey looked like at about the same age. Her hair had more red in it and lacked the extra-tall-leftover-newborn-hair pieces on the top but was just as wild and cute! Besides that, I have a hard time finding too many similarities in their looks so far. Bailey got KR's nose and haircolor, and my eyes and lips. Alayna got her daddy's eyes and mouth, and my nose, double chin (sorry) and funky ears. The rest is just a genetic morphing mystery.

  

And since Alayna was wearing this shirt today, I thought I'd better take this picture...

so I could compare it to this one. :)

And just for fun...
