I seem to have started a bit of a tradition that I really love.
Around this time last year, and the year before, I took photos of Nerys having her hair dried after a bath for my Living Arrows posts.
I happened to read last year’s post the other day and at the end of the post I wrote:
“If I remember I’ll try and take some more photos then!”
So when Steve was drying her hair after a bath that evening I grabbed the camera and took these photos.
I just can’t get over how much her hair has grown in the last year, and how much older she looks!
What I really love though is that I mentioned in last year’s post that she was busy singing ‘let it go’ at the top of her lungs while her hair was being dried.
This year, the facial expressions are thanks to ‘this is me’ from The Greatest Showman. I wonder if we’ll still be doing this next January, and if so what the song of choice will be!
If you’re wondering how much she has changed and grown, here are the photos from 2017 and 2018:
For so long Nerys didn’t have much hair at all, it does make me smile now seeing quite how long it is. I’m really not sure how I’ll feel if and when she decides she wants to cut it all off.
Who knows, maybe next January I’ll be sharing photos of her having her hair blow dried into a neat little bob!
Awesome pictures, my ten year old likes to do her own hair now – it’s a sad moment!!
Oh no, don’t, that really will make me sad when she wants to do it all herself! x
She looks so cute and this is such a great idea. If I had girls, I would probably do the same thing – taking photos while having their hair dried 🙂 #livingarrows
I love it, it’s such a simple thing but feels like a big part of her childhood so I love that we have photos of it! x
I remember so clearly when you shared these last time. Gorgeous pictures and she’s grown so much over the last year x
Thank you! She has grown so much hasn’t she, it’s scary! x
Her facial expressions are just the best. Such lovely photos and what a great song choice. She has grown so much over the last year.
Ha, she is quite expressive isn’t she, especially when she’s singing! x
Aww what a great tradition! These photos are lovely and it’s nice to be able to document the simple things to look back on x
Thank you, it’s funny how it came about accidentally to start with, but I really love having these moments to look back on! x
These are so cute! She has grown so much since last year x
She has hasn’t she, and her hair is so much longer! x
I love these pictures – I remember the ones from last year too 🙂 It’s lovely having little traditions like this – it definitely makes you realise how much they change doesn’t it?
Ah, that’s really made me smile! I do love these kinds of things where you can really see them grow, like the ones we all take on the first day of school each year! x
I love these photo’s ! you can tell she loves having her hair dried. My Daisy sings when I’m drying her hair too, she competes with the volume of the dryer x #livingarrows
Hahaha, oh yes Nerys likes to make herself heard over the sound of the dryer too! x
Love her expression in these photos and she has grown so much in the last year! Definitely a tradition you should do every year I think! #LivingArrows
She’s changed so much hasn’t she! I think I will have to try and keep this one going! x
