What's GG up to Now?


These days GG's happy as a clam and plump as a ripe vine cherry tomatoe!

It's official, GG is destined to be a dancer. I can't wait to enroll her in Ballet class. She dances whenever she hears music, whether it's coming from a toy, the television, the ice cream truck outside, a humming mom, a funky ringtone on someone's telephone. She sways back and forward, bobs her head and hums along! It's the cutest little thing!

She nods her head yes and seemingly and definitively appears as if she is answering questions you pose to her. She has the word "da da or dad or daddy" down pack! We're working on other words, but we've been monitoring the developmental charts, books and sites and she is right on track or slightly above for her stage.

She eats everything and is still quite a hearty eater. I love a chubby baby and a happy eater, especially after having two non eaters

She is looking jacked up a little in the hair category. Blame this one on me for trying different experiments trying to get a mangeagble, low stress and easy style I can do with her hair daily. The baby sitter trained her to sleep on her back and so she's lost all her hair back there! pooh! And now she's set to start school Monday and I have to figure out how to make her not look crazy everyday. Challenge!

Otherwise, she's thriving and very happy...bubbly tiny terror that she is and all! HA!

I think your thoughts on baby sleeping on their back will make hair fall is old wives tale. Your sitter was correct to train your daughter to sleep on her back. Her hair would have probably fallen off in the back anyway...they do lose their baby hair. Its more hereditary on how fast the hair grows and structure of hair that will determine GG's hair pattern. How are your boys hair? The pattern of growth will probably be the same as the boys for GG...tightly curled hair to the scalp. I've seen tons of african american babies/kids with lots and lots of hair, regardless of sleeping on their backs. Continue doing her hair and hair will always grow. She is not an infant anymore, so therefore the sleeping on the back shouldn't really be the issue. She doesn't spend most of her time sleeping..if you believe thats what broke her hair out. Try not to put her hair up in rubber bands too much..or too tight...ciruclation will cut off and prevent hair growth. Comb her hair out and often and use a headband and leave it out...what girl doesn't love to wear their hair out. Good luck..she is cute.
