The Bow Era Has Ended

You all know how I have enjoyed putting bows on Mercy. And up until now she has either just not noticed that the bow was there or didn't care. Well, after she turned 1, she started caring. :-( She won't leave the bow on her head anymore. Sometimes she'll leave it in for a little while, but eventually it always comes off. I'm so sad! Her hair is getting longer, so she is looking a little more "girly" herself. The boys are always disturbed when people outside think she is a little boy since her hair is short. They want everyone to know she is the little sister! I've been experimenting with little barrettes, which are also very, very cute. They tend to slide out after a while, but when they're in it's very cute and girly. I so love having a little girl!
