It’s time to face up to the fact that the reddish highlights Trine and I have been noticing in Molli’s hair since her birth may be more than highlights. I wouldn’t say Molli’s an actual carrot top, but she’s either a strawberry blonde or a very fair redhead. If her coloring stays the same—that light red hair and those dark blue eyes—she’s going to look more Irish than anything, and the name Molli isn’t going to do much to dispel that notion, either. Is there any Irish blood at all on either side of the family? I don’t think so.
Anyway, some pictures from yesterday…
I’ll try to post a picture of her in her birthday suit soon so you can see how chubby she’s getting.
My nickname as an infant was ‘Red Hook Red’ because of my red hair and being domiciled in Brooklyn. My mom’s mom had some ancestors in Northern Ireland. So the genes may be running true to form.
