There is honestly no limit to what Ryan will do for me when I bat my big brown eyes and ask him in a semi baby voice. Now I don’t take advantage of his good graces….often….but yesterday I decided I wanted to dye my hair and realized it is nearly impossible to do by myself without turning my whole bathroom into a brown splattered mess. I have what doctors call a “butt load” of hair. It is so hard to reach my scalp. Ryan had a unexpected day off from work yesterday due to ice. What more could he ask for on his day off? He was my little hairstylist whom I shall now fondly call Rupert. He was very professional, thorough, and determined to give me the best chocolate brown mane you have ever seen. Here he is hard at work. Don’t worry, he got a great tip!
I have never gone this dark before, I really like it. Here is an “after” shot. It basically just evened out the 3 different browns I had going on into one nice silky chocolate one. MMMMM…all this chocolate talk is making me hungry.
Continuing on our hair theme…I am also at an impasse about how to style Chloe’s hair. We are actually experiencing some mild “patchiness” all around her head. It saddens me. I love her hair! It sounds so superficial, but it is so stinking cute. I shall sadly offer up her locks to the hair gods. Her front curl is also getting to an all-time high. She is looking more like a Who from Whoville than a sassy little baby. I have tried putting barrettes in, but her hair is so fine they slip out and it is hard to fight the grain of the curl. I had to get creative…what to do….what to do…
I improvised with some ribbon giving her a little preppy look. Here she is modeling her new hair paraphernalia.
I also embroidered her initials on her little onesie. CP…that stands for Corn Poop to one person (you know who you are), Cutie Pie to many, and Chloe Portnoy to all.
This next picture just makes me laugh. It actually makes my big baby look small.
and this is two fly ladies hanging out together. Well really Chloe is hanging, I am just showing off my massive arm strength.
Love the hair. Ryan did an excellent job.
My best friend’s mom used to put bows in my friend’s hair using light Karo syrup. She just stuck them on her little bald head with a little dollop of the syrup. The pictures are pretty cute, actually.
Very well done, Rupert.
Love the hair!

They will not fall out and are adorable! But I think I will have to make you some too.
Your hair looks great! Rupert could start a new career
How adorable is Chloe with that ribbon?!
Love the colour… makes me want to dye my hair. Although I don’t think my hubby would do as fantastic a job! Chloe looks to be growing so fast! She’s beautiful.
I love that photo of the two of you. Your hubby did a great job on your hair. I wonder what my husband would say if I had to ask him to do that for me lol
Some may call this laziness- to show yourself in front of your “honey” in all your mess. I call it intimacy. Being real. No fakery. Not being afraid of being “without makeup”. To show yourself in your true light. I guess marriage is all about this…
Meanwhile there is an invitation for you waiting on my blog…a meme that needs your answers.
LOVE the new hair color. It looks great. And Chloe’s ribbon is cute.
Your hair looks great, as always Kel. And as for the baby-baldness going on, you know they make those baby wigs. Some people say they’re creepy. I say that may be Chloe’s answer to prayer.
I say creepy.
i love the hairs…the brown ones and the patchie ones
Baby wigs? What the…
Kel - your hair looks GREAT! I love the color. Mine is starting to grow out and once again, the greys are shining through - I think I’ll be back to dying it in a few months… I’m just not ready to embrace the grey.
Chloe’s getting BIG! She’s so expressive…not lookin’ like a newborn anymore! Can’t wait to squeeze her and love her…
I love your “butt load” of hair. It always looks great, even if its just in a pony tail. Grr.
Great pic of you and Chloe. I think I could get Jim to dye my hair, his name would be Rolando.
Chloe looks so sweet and your hair is beautiful!!
Hugs,
Trish
loving the hair, and the yellow bathroom, as well. Chloe is a button. Ryan is a true man. and you are bold for putting up a picture of yourself mid-hair-dye! Which is why your readers keep coming back…love it.
TOO FREAKING FUNNY!!! i love it!!!
CORN POOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha! oh man. your poor child is mistreated for your past mistakes. i stinkin’ love it.
oh and by the way, you look FABULOUS with the dark hair. never change it. i love it.
Have you seen the SNL skit with the babies that have the comb over wigs?? HILARIOUS! I know what someone is getting for her first birthday!! YOUR hair looks amazing, Kel that color is so rich and suits you perfectly especially for the winter. And as I have my own personal Rupert as well, i can say that nothing bonds husband and wife like discussing some “fabu” highlights. (please insert the appropriate lisps…)
ps: i could really use my hair dyed. so, if rupert wouldn’t mind……….
although, i will only pay with cash.
and…. done! I’m such a whore.
Yo Rup, how bout you run a little grecian formula through my hair?
ooo, love your hair! I hear you about having a buttload of hair. When I used to dye mine I had to use 2 or 3 things of color. And when I go to get mine cut, I can hear them sighing under their breath because the blowout takes at least 30 minutes… I kind of want to color mine again, but it took so long to grow out that I’m such a chicken now!
Haahaa!! I love making the hubby dye the hair!! So much fun! I think they secretly enjoy it too but would never admit it! Great job by the way, love the brown color! He and Allon should open a salon and we could reap all the benefits!!
Looks great!! You have locks….am so jealous!! Ahem…I can also see why Chloe is so healthy - why oh why was I not blessed with such a creamy chest???
Love your new hair color. Looks awesome!
You look wonderful with you new haircolor. You and Chole look great together. I just want to say that I enjoy reading you web site, and hearing about your Chole. Now even my own daughter reads your web site. Do know how your sister-in-law is doing?
Love the hair Kelly, it looks great (both yours and the baby’s ;))
