Undecided

Ever since I first got pregnant, I wondered

what Ilea would look like.

Would she have brown eyes like me,

or blue like Casey?

Would she have my straight brown hair,

or his curly sandy blonde?

Well, now that she is just 2 days shy of 6 months

I can say definitively that

we still have no idea.

Her hair looks straight sometimes

and curly other times.

 Sometimes it looks light brown or blonde

 and sometimes it looks reddish.

 And her eyes are brownish, blueish, grayish.

 Maybe this is the price we have to pay 

for giving her two middle names?

Or maybe she just doesn't like being rushed.

The one thing I can say, though,

is Ilea is the most relaxed, happy baby in the history of the Universe.

Every morning, she hops on the rollercoaster that is our day-to-day

life and just goes with the flow,

whether it be racing around an ice rink in her stroller

(post to follow), bouncing around in the carrier on my back

while I play soccer with Orin,

getting bathed in the sink because someone is

using the bathroom in the morning,

or dancing with her daddy at a wedding until 10pm.

You literally can't make this baby unhappy

as long as she is clean and fed.

So with brownish, blueish, greyish eyes,

one thing is for certain: this kid rocks.
