I'm A Blond Again...With Some Red???

Well, I'm not crying yet. I got my hair done today and I'm not sure what happened, but I'm now blond on top and red underneath. I was planning on going back to blond, but my hair girl is kind of funky and likes to do color. She told me she would put a dark brown underneath because "it's the cool thing do." I was cool with that, but when I got home Marc said, "You look very European" and I knew something was wrong! That was not really the look I was going for.





So, I'm not real sure what to do. I'll probably leave it because I don't really have time to go again to have her fix it. She works out of her home and starting tomorrow the entire back of her house is being gutted and refinished, which is why I had to get my hair done today and not right before our trip to Texas. I'm not a fan of the red, sorry mom, but maybe it will fade after a few washes?!?


In other news, Addison is a little chunk. Our girls never gain weight fast and in fact, Cerys was never even on the percentile charts. So I was not expecting much more from Addison, but this little girl is not going to do anything I think she will- remember she was 2 weeks late! At her last weigh in she was 9 lbs. 2.5 oz., so she had gained a bit from her birth weight...yesterday, she was ...drum roll please...10 lbs. 11.5 oz! WHAT? She's on the 91st percentile on the chart and I just can't believe it! Her newborn clothes are already packed up, she is too long for them and even some 0-3 months outfits don't fit her! I'm so pleased to have a little girl on "the chart!"
We're off to London tomorrow to get her birth certificate and passport! I'll be back later in the week with some pictures from our trip. Her first train ride and trip to the big city! :)

It's never fun to come home with a hairstyle you didn't expect. But, to be honest, it really doesn't look that bad. Or really, I don't think it looks bad at all! I bet the intensity will fade a bit after a few washes.

Praying for your trip tomorrow!

You are very Euro chic! I actually like it! It's super fun for the new momma!!! :-) Have fun in London friend!!!! Love you!

I like your hair. Yes, it does look European, but no, it's not the fire-engine-red European, or the too-happy-with-the-color-bottles European. I like it.

I actually like the new do! But if I were you I would be a little shocked too...I always like the "cool" stuff on other people, but don't feel like I can pull it off myself.
What a big girl Addison is! She's like the boys...well, the boys were actually way ABOVE the growth charts. So I'm actually shell shocked that Madelyn is actually within the charts (90th in height and 49th in weight). It's amazing how baby clothes fit when your child actually falls WITHIN the growth charts!
Wow, I just read what I wrote. That's a lot of actually's in one paragraph!

Hair looks cool. My sister has hers like that sometimes. Is European bad? Marc makes me laugh!

Love, love, love your hair! I do mine sort of similar to that and get compliments all the time.

I'm sorry! I should have said earlier. I have been another "lurker" on several blogs for many, many months now before beginning my own. I cannot remember how I found yours since I follow so many and am just trying to educate myself and get ideas. :) My hubby is in the Army and we will be moving to Germany in June. We just started ours a bit ago to keep up with family and friends while over there.

Fun to see the photos of little Addison. I feel like I've been out of touch lately, so it's nice to catch up and see her. What a doll she is!

Your hair really looks cool, Charity, but I know the feeling of not being quite comfortable with it. Is there a chance your mom could schedule you an appointment back home during your visit?

And, hey - wasn't your mom coming after Addison was born?

Etta said...

I like the hair!! You should keep it!

Amber said...

Fun hair!

Hope your trip goes well!

Amanda said...

Girl, work that euro hair!

Love that stretched out picture of Addison. Way too cute!

I love the hair, Charity!! :)

I love squishy babies!!

Your hair certainly looks more red than dark brown! If anything, you'll look like you 'fit in' even more! That may be a good thing in reaching out to others, don't you think?

Baby Addison is certainly different! What a precious gift!

If this helps at all...I think red fades more quickly than any other color. What a sweet photo of Addison. She's getting so big so fast!

okay..I love the hair!! A fun change..but I totally understand when you get your hair done and you aren't thrilled about it..it bums you out...But I like it...and I am sure you look great!

Wow Miss Addison!! Way to go!!
She is just too cute!!
Hope your trip to London was successful and stress free!

Well, I like it. But if it makes you feel better, Red always fades because the color can't bond with the hair like other colors do, so (according to a color specialist I once used) there's no way to make it truly permanent.

Either way, I still think it looks good :)
