Not that I BLAME you.


There are a couple of things about the
youngest 2
RitterB babies that people can't resist...

The first is the stunning good looks... They're cute as can be!

The 2nd is their HAIR...

That's right,you can't resist that head of hair!


At first it is the comments... "Look at their hair!" "Oh my gosh I love their hair!" "Did you have to learn how to care for their hair?" "Wow, you don't even need to use headbands for her... she has so much hair."

And then it happens... Just as I know the sun will rise each morning, I know you will reach out and touch that head of theirs... I don't blame you really... I know you are curious of how it feels. It looks super soft... Is it? I don't blame you. I know you can't contain that hand of yours.

For the record... When both Noah and Zion were born their hair was soft as the clouds. I too, could not contain the desire to rub the soft hair along my cheeks...

By the time Noah was a few months old his baby soft hair had fallen out. I remember the day it started falling out in clumps... I was so sad. When it grew back it grew thick and course with tight curls.

Zion was born with a head of hair any woman would want. She has more hair then I could ever imagine. It is thick with soft curls. There is no need for headbands with this baby... Her hair can hold their own to any bow I desire. I have been very careful how I care for "Pinkie's" hair.... With Noah we had a bit of a learning curve...
One thing is for sure....
Nothing can prevent that awful BALD SPOT babies create
for themselves on the back of their head.
I have learned NO amount of HOPE, tummy time, bouncy seat time, bumbo time, moby wrap time, hip huggin' time
{you get the idea}
can prevent rubbing off their hair while on their back...

*sigh* what's a mama to do?
Before long she just may be able to cover the bald spot with a comb over.

So funny...we had the same thing happen with Corbin, he was our first with that beautiful newborn black hair...it was so SOFT.

What I wouldn't give for my babies to have hair like Zion - she has what my girls usually have around 18 months. **SIGH** Little Ella will just have to rock the headband for the next year or two and be jealous of her BFF.

I can't wait to run my fingers through Zion's hair! And that little Noah is as cute as a cookie!
