Red Bird

When we were pregnant, our favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series. We are originally from North Carolina and our state bird is the Cardinal. MM's family affectionately calls her "Bird" from a famous childhood story. All these things lead to us calling our unborn child a "little red bird". Cute, huh? Well - little did we know our baby would be born with RED HAIR!! That's right! Red hair and blue eyes... too cute. Everyone says we will just have to wait and see what happens to the color and texture, but nothing has changed thus far -- its gotten longer, fuller, curlier (after a bath) and REDDER (if that's even a word)!! We aren't quite sure where it came from... Wes and I both have a tinge of red in certain lights - as well as some other family members do too -- but nothing like Miss Charlottes!! Red Bird really seems fitting now!!
