Week 12 - Hair today, gone tomorrow!
(11/1/09 - 11/7/09)

This week I started to notice something with Andrew. I first started to notice it when outside or if I was sitting in one of our chairs by the window, but his head has started to "glow". Now at first I thought it was just a trick of the sun or the angle that I was holding Andrew in. But then Paul noticed it too....was Andrew getting blonde hair???

Soon after Paul and I noticed the "glistening" on his head I started to notice dark brown hairs on his sheets and his clothing. I got out the baby brush one day and wound up having a hairbrush full of brown hair!

Like most babies Andrews hair that he was born with has started falling out, however since he sleeps on his belly he now has bald spots starting on each side of his head instead of on the back of his head like you see on most babies. On the top of his head he has started getting in some lighter colored hair. Now with Jacob we never had this problem because other than the well loved mullet he was pretty much bald and what hair he did have was blonde/red so you didn't really notice it falling out or coming in. This guy definitely has some bald spots forming and it will be interesting to see what color hair he has as a toddler. Jacob was red and turned brown (getting darker by the minute), I was a bleach blonde and ended up having brown hair....Paul pretty much has stayed brown and has gone from a lighter brown as a child to the dark dark dark brown that it is now.

I think it will be hillarious if Andrew goes blonde since he looks soooo much like Paul, for him to have the exact opposite color hair as Paul will be funny!

This is me at my 2nd birthday...blonde...blonde....blonde!
