Lovin the hair!

When Kayla was little I wrote a post about her hands and how much I loved them.  Now it's time Tyler's hands I'm in love with.  Seriously, so little but so powerful.  I love having his open palm resting on my arm or on my leg as he tries to climb up into my lap.

I read a blog a while ago that talked about a baby playing with his moms hair as he nursed.  Since I wasn't able to nurse Kayla for long that wasn't something I was going to experience.  But.... Tyler does it.  He plays with my hair all the time.  It's a comfort thing for him.  Instead of holding onto a stuffed animal or one of those blankets with the animal head on it he holds onto my hair.  He does this while he's nursing and while he's going to sleep.  It's so sweet.  I love feeling him play with it.  If it's up in a pony tail I have to make sure to let it down so he has something to hold on to. 

But it's not just my hair he likes, he loves everyones hair - Kayla's, dad's, my friends.  If there is hair around he's grabbing on to it.  And if he's not just grabbing and playing he's eating.  Seriously - he'll get a whole handful of my hair and just suck on it.  I can't get the kid to eat his food but he'll eat my hair!  What?  Wonder if he likes my shampoo.  :-)

Guessing I'll be growing out the hair again so he doesn't have to reach so far.
