Little Miss G is an ever-changing gal. Along with her new walking skills, she has a new favorite way to sleep - with her posterior parts in the air. The fact that she found the corner of the crib is funny. The fact that we had raised one end of her crib (so that she was less congested when she slept) and she chose to burry her head DOWNHILL, priceless.
Another new project underway in our house is Mommy learning how to style G's hair. For those of you who are unfamiliar, African hair is every different than hair caucasian hair. Where I typically wash my hair every day or so, we only wash G's hair once per week, so it doesn't get too dry. We also apply leave-in conditioner often - usually once or twice per day and it is still dry. Until recently, once the conditioner was in (and I made sure there were no knots), that was the end of our hair care routine. Well, in an attempt to make an outfit she was wearing look more feminine, I realized that I was ill-prepared to work on her hair.
I need to start working on hair-pretties and all that represents. I called a good friend, looked at a few web forum posts, found a few websites, etc. G's hair is still short, but long enough to start sectioning into little puffs - more like little flowers on her head. Beads, snaps, hooks, bands, combs have been ordered. With just a few rubber bands, I was able to do the following...
The sides (and back) are still too short, so we lost the 2 side clumps after she finished posing for the camera. That left 3 cute little flower clumps on the top of her hair. They even lasted over night. Stay tuned for more photos as we figure it all out over the next several years.

She looks darling. We have the same sleeping positions here. And the walking thing. He's getting faster and faster. Time for gates.
