Kaya's hair has been growing and growing lately! She's really looking like a little girl! She wears clips and even ponytails. Unfortunately, her method of self-soothing is to suck on her index and middle fingers on her left hand, while twirling her hair with her right hand. This longer hair means lots and lots of tangles.
We've been keeping her hair in a ponytail all of the time, and she twirls the ponytail. This has been working, but not at night time. Last Friday night, about an hour after she'd gone to bed, Kaya started SCREAMING. I went running into her room and she looked at me and said "Mama, hair stuck." Her finger was stuck in her hair and the tip was turning blue. We had to snip that little bit to release her finger.
The next morning she woke up with a bigger knot than she'd ever had in her hair and she went straight into the tub for a hair cut. There was no other option. Of course, I documented it all for you to see (excuse the huge number of pictures!):
Oooh, the sweet ponytail!

Wow, look at that mop!

...and then it was gone.

Seriously, it was about 2.5" of hair that we cut off!

Of course, it dried a bit shorter, but it's cute and full of body.

...and because you humored us through all of these pictures, a cheesy "CHEESE" for you.

Kaya and Pal had breakfast in the kitchen this morning (rather than at their seats at the big table). Crepes came off of the pan and right onto their plates. (Spoiled babes!)

They have this new thing about wearing their hats in the house. Now, the kitchen is the coldest room, but really... it's not THAT cold in here!
Happy Valentine's Day to all of Kaya's friends and family!
