Is that a peacock? A mohawk?

 
 
 
 
Baby hair is a funny thing.  It changes so much during the first year of a child's life.  First, it grows in utero serving no purpose whatsoever except causing some heartburn for mama.  Kenzie was born with a head of crazy, kinky, dark brown hair.  After a couple months, it started to fall out and just thin due partially to the growing size of her head.  Then, she had the lovely circular bald spot in the back middle of her head from sleeping on her back (although this still remains a mystery to me as she didn't sleep much and was always being held-or squatted around the house).  Then her hair started growing which turned into a baby rat tail in the back below the bald spot.  The more hair Kenzie gets, the lighter in color it looks.  Although, the funny thing is it looks red in a lot of pictures and certain light but not usually on a regular basis.  I remember thinking the same thing about Kadence's hair, it seemed like when it was turning from the dark color she was born with to the lighter blonde color, it often had a red tint to it.  Well, not only is Kenzie sporting a distinguished widow's peak, she also has some crazy hair that does nothing but stand straight up on the top of her head-much like her big brother's hair.  I just laugh when I look at her light wispy hair and wonder what it will look like in even just a few months.  Love her so much!  She's perfect to me no matter what "ugly" hair stage she is going through.  Might I add she looks exactly like her dad when she smiles...love it!
