Baby Curls
Jaimie on Nov 28th 2007
Alexa’s hair is very fine and a bit sparse, and as it has grown in, her hair has formed little ringlets in the back and on the sides. The top and front has been very straight (it is longer and thicker which I assume is why), so I figured that it was just a “baby hair” phenomenon and it would eventually go away.
And now it is. The little baby curls are starting to straighten and not curl quite as much. And for how sure I was that they weren’t permanent… I am frightfully attached. I pet the back of her head and tell the curls not to go away and get all choked up as her hair gets straighter and straighter. Yesterday her hair seemed almost completely straight in the back, and I actually thought for a moment I might cry.
Today it looks a little more curly. Or maybe it is my imagination. Wishful thinking perhaps…
They grow up so fast.

I hear you, I really do. For me it was the baby chub. Miss R was born and was very skinny from the get go. Baby D however came out a whopping 9 lbs, 12 oz and she was just a chunk of baby.
She had all the fat rolls up and down her thighs, and on her wrists. Her cheeks were just so full and kissable. I adored the chub and would kiss her chubby thighs, and cheeks all the time. I took pictures of the fat rolls because I knew that they would be fleeting.
And now at 10 months she is lean, and skinny. She still has the roundness of the face but no longer the chipmonk cheeks of the past. I am sad, I loved my chubba bubba and all her fat rolls. They do grow up mighty quick. Especially the first year.
Awww they grow up too quick.
I’m the same way with my youngest. I know I won’t have another little head with ringlets, so I get a little sad.
I can relate! Our now 4 year old had hair down her back by age 2, very curly. It’s thick so we cut it shoulder length. Curls are…gone. But we fight much less mornings, but still, I miss all that hair and curls!
