That thar girl look differnt, don't she?

It's so hard for me to believe that this little sweetie pie is mine. I know, I know. She's my fourth, so you'd think I would have gotten used to having a new baby by now.

But each one is just so sweet. so unique. so incredibly beautiful in their own way. That this fierce love I automatically feel always puts me in awe. on a daily basis.

And thus far, little Lani has lived up to her name's meaning "Outpouring of Joy". Because she, truly, has been so bubbly from REALLY early on. She started smiling (at people, upon eye contact) before she turned 5 weeks. She started have deep belly-laughs at 2 months.


Can't you see the joy in those eyes? That smile lights up her entire face. It's hard to miss the Joy when you look at her.

As well is the fact that she continues to "have her own look", as so many people say.

So I decided to finally show you where she gets her look. Being that she did, in fact, come forth from my womb... even though all her older sisters are darker in every aspect.

Exhibit A:
My dad's sibling group. Blond Blond Blond. (he's the exceptionally cute one on the far left. with the dirty face)



Exhibit B:
My dad as a young, blond stud. (I just saw this picture last week for the first time. Love it). He's now 60 years old and still blond (with some grey mixed in).

Exhibit C: My brother as a little tot. Need I say more?

Obviously my family has it's share of blond-hair, blue-eyed genetic tendencies. But if that wasn't enough, there's Jet's side...

Exhibit D: Jet's youngest brother, Isaac.

Yep. Blond. Blue eyes. and cute as can be.

I'm thinking my little Blond Beauty is in good company.
