Hair, Hair, and MORE HAIR!

Every year or so - sometimes I make it a couple of years - I decide I need a change with my hair.  I get bored of the same length, or the same color, so I decide I need to switch it up a bit.  Last time I added a bunch of blonde, which didn't last long - something with me and blonde don't mix so well.  This time, when we were in Spain, I decided to chop off about 3 inches.  The photo below is before the 3 inches came off, so you can imagine how short it was after.  Although it felt much healthier, I wasn't digging it much at all. It was actually quite sad.

As the weeks went by I started feeling a bit bald.  My hair is already super thin, so having it short and thin made it feel thinner, if that is possible (which it is tee hee).  I'm a total hair person, so feeling bald equals feeling depressed.  So I thought really hard (for all of 30 seconds) and jumped online and ordered some hair to fix the problem! It only took the best of two entire days to put it in, and with the help of my lovely assistant Rico Suave, we came out with this new head full of long hair:

Ta da!

and the back.....

You like? I like, and Marcus loves. :) Yay! Happy Erika.

Liam Marcus Liassides

Our precious Liam Marcus Liassides made his entrance into the world on January 25th at 10:44pm and weighed 6 lbs and 14 oz and was 19 inches long.  He came so fast his little face bruised like a blueberry.  Although he had a bit of trouble breathing at first, after a short stay in the NICU he was just fine. I can't quite determine yet whether I think he looks more like me or Marcus, but time will tell.  He did actually have some hair though, my first child yet!

It is taking us some time to get adjusted to having a newborn for sure.  Sleep doesn't come easy anymore. Liam really is a daddy's boy too.  He absolutely loves falling asleep on Marcus's chest at night.  I keep telling Marcus he can't get him in a habit of this because what ever will I do when he is traveling or away on business? I guess I could grow some chest hair and pretend, but it just won't be the same!

I can't believe 5 weeks have flown by already.  It's amazing how incredibly fast time goes when you are busy with a new little baby.  I swear his little face changes every single day! Just have a look for yourself:

We are so excited our little man is here and healthy and are excited to watch him grow and change.  We love you little Liam!!!
