Hair do's

I have been having fun with Jessica's hair. She goes in waves where she will let me do her hair, and then for a few weeks she won't let me TOUCH it to wash it or comb it or anything. I still wash it of course, but she is not a happy camper about it. My sister came over and braided her hair and got her to hold still by telling her wild stories. I remember her making up stories when we were younger and I LOVED them. Anyway, It re-inspired me and several stories later... This is what you do if you have 1:00 church and have hours to keep her occupied before it starts. My mom made the girls matching dresses and then I made bows and bracelets to match. Didn't she do a great job? Some of these ideas have come off of a couple hair blogs including this one I've mention before and a blog about short hair.

And here is the back...

This was an inside-out braid. This story involved her favorites- Jack and the Beanstalk and the Giant and Kyler and Casen and Pyper and Jessica and Kelsi and Matt and Josh and Ben... Sometimes we add in Julia and Blake and Luke and Rachel and Ellie...

This hair do is a standard. I can use 6 different colors of elastics and it matches everything. I usually leave it in for an extra day or so. This particular day it had even survived swimming. She has 3 more elastics on the other side. This has been GREAT for growing out her bangs.

We're still working on Kelsi's hair...

And I thought Jessica was bald. This is Jessica just over one year old.

And this is Jessica at just over 14 months. Look at all that hair! I guess good things come to those who wait. :)

We still love our bald beauty, though. She is such a delight. I really want to catch her mischievous grin and camera, though... I thought her lip was cute in this picture. And she is definetly starting to get more hair.
