It really is growing!
Tonight I put tiny little pony tails in Kendi's hair! LOL! They were pitiful little things, but there is NO WAY I could have done this a month ago when she came home. Her hair really is growing!
She was such a good girl while I did her hair. You could tell she's seen the girls at Eban House getting their hair done. I took her to the bathroom to see it after we were done and she was SO PROUD! I wish I could have captured that moment on my camera. At Eban House, when the girls' hair finally grows out long enough to put puffs in, it is a BIG deal.
Kendi's first do. October 16th, 2009. 28 months old. Random tiny puffs with no puff. They lasted for about 20 minutes before I took them out for fear of damaging her finally growing hair. =-)

So cute! Look what good nutrition will do! I love her earrings. My 2 year old has them (studs though). Do you have trouble with the hoops getting caught on stuff? Blessings, Jennifer
Jennifer, thanks for your comment! In Ghana the girls usually have their ears peirced soon after birth, and hoops are usually what I see the girls in. When Kendi came home she had on silver hoops that were probably 1/3 of an inch in diameter. They got caught on things sometimes, but she's always really good about yelping! No harm done. The other day I bought her current earrings. They are dangly, but not hoops. They are working even better. Without her earrings so many people mistake her for a boy, so we're staying dangly!

Yes, she is so cute!
Adorable little "puffs"! :)
Thanks for the response. I fell in love with earrings on baby girls when we lived in Brazil. Handy too, because you could tell who was a boy and who was a girl. But then we adopted three boys. I was pretty sure I'd never get to do the earring thing. Then God let us adopt a baby girl and I caved to everyone around me saying "she's too young for earrings." That is, I caved until she turned 2! Then she got the earrings and I think it's just too cute. My blog has Savannah's picture. www.IChooseJoy.ca
Anyway, thanks for answering, I may try something dangly some time.
Blessings, Jennifer
She is adorable! Pretty soon she will have a full head of "puffs"!!
Blessings~
