I have about a million memories of giving birth, and one of my most vivid involves a comment about Zoe’s hair. Just before I actually delivered, my nurse told us that she could see the baby’s head – and it looked like we would be having a curly, black-haired little girl. I was so excited to hear that “Sesame” was going to take after Q, and I was a tad surprised when, once in the outside world, Zoe’s hair was actually straight and brown.

Well, it turns out the nurse was only half wrong. One year later, Zoe’s hair (while still light brown) is actually quite curly – and it gets more so the older she gets. (And when it’s wet, she really looks like her dad. See below for the evidence.) I’m sure her hair will continue to change, and my new (totally shallow) hope is that Zoe winds up with blonde curls. I think that would suit her well!
