Crazy Hair!

One of the many aspects of my beautiful daughter that I first fell in love with was how her cute little hair stood straight up on her head. This picture was taken on our 2nd full day here in Canada, Monday, Nov. 16, 2009. Look how little she was!!
As her hair has grown in over the past 3 1/2 months it has gotten longer and lays more flat. My little miss also likes to sleep with her head tucked up into the top corner of her crib which produces the same effect.
In order to give Hannah's hair some fun bounce and lift we have instilled 'crazy hair' into our morning routine. Normally it's when we first get up and are brushing our teeth and washing our faces. I'll say to her, 'XiaoFen...do you want some crazy hair?' and she'll get this huge grin on her face and immediately swing her head to look in the mirror. I take a wet cloth and get it as messy as we can as we both giggle! I love these little moments that we share together and how much she is now understanding!!


In this picture it looks like she's saying, 'Mommy....why do you do this to me every morning?' but in this one she's sporting her crazy hair with a big ole grin on her face and enjoying being silly with Mommy!

I took this video of her after we'd finished breakfast one morning and just before her bottle. I am amazed every single day at how she is growing and changing and how much she understands! I am so thankful for baby sign language as is gives us a way to communicate!

Catherine, thank you so much for sharing your lovely Hannah with us! You are a terrific mom and your posts and videos just make our day!!
