dd was blessed with a full head of black hair when she was born. well, she has started yanking on it as hard as she possibly can. its like she gets ahold of it and she cant let go (maybe that grabbing reflex?). she just tries to by yanking her hair as hard as she possibly can to get her hand out. is anyone else's lo doing anything like this? im afraid to leave her alone because she may rip her hair out, lol. poor kid! in other news though, she is wearing a 3-6 month outfit today. yikes!!

Howdy! I have a hair puller too...but she pulls mine and not hers! I would think it has to be reflex at this point...what about some of those little mittens? The ones they use to keep them from scratching themselves, just until she gets the 'let go' reflex too!!!

My LO was 7.9 pounds on Saturday....still wearing newborn size clothes...I did put a couple of 0-3 months outfits on her...but they are still huge...

Little Joyce still pulls mine. It seems to be even funnier when her father takes her in his arms and she pulls me with her

my hair gets pulled, but only because it's so long and gets caught in his hands.
