This. This preciousness lures me over and over again. She was born with quite a bit of dark hair that she subsequently lost in a male-baldness-like pattern, except for the 80’s mullet she kept and rocked quite well if I might say so myself! And, then this has happened in the past few weeks. This light brown silky fuzz! We love it. It may not look like much in this photo but it made a nice mini-mohawk in her bath Thursday night!

The other thing that we both find absolutely miraculous is her soft spot. An area that I probably normally touch at least a dozen times per day….on other babies that are sick. It is like an instinct to me after all of these years in medicine. It is just something my hand does…reach for their sweet head to be sure they aren’t dehydrated, be sure it isn’t bulging inappropriately, etc. But. I am ashamed to say I have never sat and truly looked at it. We find ourselves staring in awe at the pulsatile life coming from her sweet noggin’ while she sleeps! It amazes me.

I leave you with two more things tonight. I have more to blog soon but for now I leave you with a photo of Lainey….of course (considering the above two things are just of scalp!). This is from her dedication last Sunday-it was wonderful and I’ll write more soon.

Lastly, I mentioned recently about one of Lainey’s milk buddy’s having heart problems. She is ten weeks older then Lainey and has two holes in her heart. She is not doing well and will be having open heart surgery. My heart aches for both she and her family. The surgical team will be meeting on Monday to make a plan. Please join us in prayer for guidance and knowledge for her medial team and peace and comfort for her family. Celebrating Easter this weekend is especially fitting as in His death He saved us and therefore can definitely heal this sweet child.
