Phone Photos: January 2024
Ransom could nearly always be found near Mallory, stroking her head, kissing her, cooing to her, and just generally doting on her. He still does that, though she doesn't always accept it now that she's an independent two-year old.
Also showcased in these pictures was Mallory's fondness for craning her neck sideways, mostly while she slept. She looked so uncomfortable that I'd try to straighten her sleeping form out, but she'd crook it right back again, so I'm guessing she was trying to replicate her womb position
Another funny fact about newborn Mallory is that she became balder than any newborn I've seen. Babies always lose some hair, but in the course of just a couple of days, she went from a full top-head of hair to so bald that her head was actually shiny.
I felt equal parts of chagrin and delight that she looked so goofy. Look! My beautiful baby!
Ulp. Never mind.
We were happy when we saw some tiny hairs starting to sprout anew.
Oldest daughter. Youngest daughter.
Full heart. <3 <3

She’s a gorgeous bald baby! I tried to come on a few months ago and it was private and I was so sad- I’m so happy to see more of Mallory and all of your people. I love this blog and your writing and sharing so much.
Yeah, it was private because I'm a dope, and one of my coping mechanisms when I'm feeling bleak and missing people is to shut down the blog....as if that shuts me off from the world? I don't know! I'm a dope. 😂 If it happens again, never fear. I'll be back again.
And thank you for your encouragement! I know New York is probably last on the list of places you want to visit, but if your steps ever lead you here, I know a family who'd love to see you in real life again! (Pssst. It's US. I'm talking about us.)
