anna's hair just went through a growth spurt. she went from practically nothing -- and that which she had was so fair, it was impossible to really see it-- to a little whorl of blond hair on the top of her head. it has completely changed her face.

she is so content. she just sits next to me looking around, happy to just be. now i see how people can do things (other than read a novel while he or she nurses) with a baby.

not that i have any objection to forced reading of novels, but it is nice to have 2 hands occasionally.
