Little O' This, My Girl

All Banged Up

Do you know how I can tell that Christmas is just around the corner?  No, it’s not the scent of gingerbread filling the house.  And no, it’s not that my family is here.  And no, it’s not even the six feet of snow or the glistening lights on the tree.  I know it’s Christmas because Avelyn has a double ear infection.

This is her third Christmas on the planet and her third holiday with an ear infection.  What the hay-diddy-diddy?!?

She started some antibiotics yesterday and seems a tad better today (although, on a scale of one to ten, she’s still sitting at an 11.5 on the Grump-O-Meter).

I got my haircut yesterday and love it!

Here’s the before, complete with four months of root growth:

And the After:

The photo doesn’t do justice to the cut or the great colour (she added some nice low lights so my roots won’t be as glaringly obvious when they start to grow).  I am really happy with it and a change is so nice sometimes.

Hope you all have healthier holidays than ours are proving to be!

  • I hope she feels better. Great hair. I go tonight for mine and am looking forward to it.

  • Poor Avelyn. I hope she feels better soon.
    Your hair looks great (and so does Avelyn’s!)

  • Amanda!!! I love the hair. Best haircut you’ve ever had, I’d say.

    I had my bangs cut like that a few time and never could do them on my own. Your hair looks soo good.

    And poor Avelyn. :( I think she’s sick every time your parents see her. Get well soon sweet little A.

  • Poor girl! I didn’t even know she had a cold on Sunday. Boo.

    Your hair, however, is fabulous! Can’t wait to see it in person :)

  • Your hair looks great! I’m so sorry to hear about Avelyn. Hopefully she’ll be feeling much better by Christmas. I think most kids feel quite a bit better after a full 24 hrs on the antibiotics.

  • I LOVE the hair cut.
    Merry Christmas! I hope Avelyn feels better soon. I’m sure opening presents in a few days will help with that. :)

  • LOVE your hair. Looks great! Sorry to hear about Avelyn’s ears :(

    And poor little girl…hope she gets better soon.
    Did your pediatrician prescribe some numbing drops for her ears? We have some for Bayley. I used them on my last ear infection too…they work! :)

  • Love the hair cut, it looks cute! So far, you’ve been able to pull off everything you’ve tried.

  • Oh no – Christmas ear infections are the worst! That used to be me as a child.

    The hair, on the other hand, is fabulous.

    Have a wonderful Christmas.

  • SCHEXY!!! Love it, perfect subtle change. No pics of your and Christy painting the town red?

  • How is it possible that your hair looks longer after you got it cut?? I love the bangs and the color, they both look really good on you!!! Hope she gets better soon. Ear infections blow.

  • It looks great! The bangs are “bang on”. Good job! :)

    Hope the ear infection grumpies subside over the next 24 hours!

  • Poor Avelyn! 3 holidays? That’s just not fair! I love your hair!!!

  • Your bangs are banging’ ! ha.

    Aidan and Aliah have been sick every winter too. During the year they never get sick, ever and all of a sudden..boom. Strep throat and bronchitis.

    Have a wonderful Christmas.

  • Delurking to say – WOW! You are rocking the new hair cut!
