Embracing Him

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Luke 12:7a)

For some reason I can’t explain, I’d actually be interested in knowing just how many hairs are on the girls’ heads. It would be even more interesting to know how many fewer hairs are on their heads after washing it and combing through the tangles!

Washing the girls’ hair can be a major production. Both of them have thick hair and neither of them likes to have it washed. JT and I split the task and tackle the tangles, tears, and tantrums together.

Every time I see this picture of Sugar Plum I laugh. I recently snapped it just before JT started washing her hair. In our opinion, that super huge afro is a thing of true beauty. Diana Ross and Chaka Khan need to watch out. Another big haired girl is on the rise!

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. (Psalm 127:3)

It’s hard for us to believe but Sugar Plum is officially 18 months old today! To celebrate the milestone, she paid a visit to her pediatrician for a checkup and received a clean bill of health. Sugar Plum is now 32 inches tall and weighs 23 and 1/2 pounds.

Don’t let the happy expression fool you! This photo was snapped before Sugar Plum was given her vaccinations. (Trust me, she was in no mood to pose for photos after receiving 2 shots in her chubby thigh!) Thankfully Mommy was there to provide plenty of hugs and kisses. Her big sister Sweet Pea offered her own show of sympathy through a series of loud wails and mock tears. (I didn’t make a big deal out of it as she was most likely thanking God that it wasn’t her turn!)
