A Gray Hair

Posted by kara

Last night, I found my first real gray hair. It was actually kind of white with facets of orange. Anyway, it made me feel old. I’m still in denial though. I just got out of college a little bit ago! (8 years?!) I liken this feeling to how I felt when I found my first little stretch marks. I was more sad about feeling out of control with my body changes than I did about the actual marks. And of course, what a fool I was because then I got a hundred more marks and then a PUPPS rash. Just like I’m sure I’ll think this one gray hair is silly. And it is. I just never really pictured myself with gray hair. Only my dad gets gray hair. No one else… right? I don’t even think my uncle has them yet. 😉

Yesterday, we met up with my friend Laura, her husband Marco, and her adorable daughter Mia at the Children’s Museum. Toshi had a blast and could really take part in all the exhibits. Martha politely slept in the baby carrier. Mia loved all the exhibits too… but it was hard to talk and watch the kids. Nuts. Still, it was great to see them. And I got to see Laura’s belly! She is due March 26th! I can’t wait to see how cute her boy will be. So cute.

Martha is super grabby right now. I have to be careful when I hold her because she will grab the most dangerous or breakable thing within arms reach. I can’t help but think Ariana will have an advantage with her long arms. Martha is also grabbing her feet a little. And she has rolled from front to back, but not consistently. She almost can do back to front, but I think the motivation just isn’t there. She hates being on her tummy.

Oh, Marf. You’re silly.
