Just Enough

 We're pretty sure that Brady is going to keep his blue eyes -- time will tell, but he is three-and-a-half months old, and his eyes are as blue as can be.

His hair looks light, but it's kind of rubbing off, as many babies' hair does in infancy.  Howard was bald forever, but we KNEW he was going to be a red head.  Any and all fuzz he had was red.

A few people have suggested that Brady might also be a redhead, but I just don't know.  With Howard I KNEW without a doubt that he had red hair -- even when he appeared totally bald (which he was bald FOREVER).  I think Brady's hair will be light... but I don't have that assurance that it will be red.

Then, something happens and I see him in an outfit, like this one, and I see JUST ENOUGH of a little red that I think... well, maybe?

But I'm pretty sure its the red of the pajamas coming out, but he really looks like he might be a red head in these pictures:

Fury

Especially in light of my post yesterday, I found the below facebook assessment really funny.

Facebook thinks this is my quote about fury:

Do not infuriate the redhead.

 

Redhead Day

Apparently November 5 is Redhead day... so I thought I would share some facts I recently learned from this article:

1. The highest concentration of redheads is in Scotland (13%) followed by Ireland (10%). Worldwide, only 2% of the population has red hair.
   
2. People with red hair are likely more sensitive to pain. This is because the gene mutation (MC1R) that causes red hair is on the same gene linked to pain receptors. It also means redheads usually need more anesthesia for dental and medical procedures.
   
3. Having red hair isn't the only thing that makes some redheads unique. They are also more likely to be left handed. Both characteristics come from recessive genes, which like to come in pairs.
   
4. Redheads probably won't go grey. That's because the pigment just fades over time. So they will probably go blonde and even white, but not grey.
   
5. Rumor says Hitler banned marriage between redheads. Apparently he thought it would lead to "deviant offspring."
   
6. Redheads most commonly have brown eyes. The least common eye color: blue.
   
7. Bees have been proven to be more attracted to redheads.
   
8. Being a redheaded man may have health benefits. A study published by the British Journal of Cancer suggested that men with red hair are 54% less likely to develop prostate cancer than their brown and blonde-haired counterparts.
   
9. Redheads actually have less hair than most other people. On average they only have 90,000 strands of hair while blonds, for example, have 140,000. However, red hair is typically thicker so they it still looks just as full.

There's your fun trivia for the day.
