I was looking through old posts about Madeline and I came across this one, where I did her hair in a bunch of different ways. I am SO GLAD I took the time to do all that to her hair. I’d never really played with it before that, and I would have huge regrets today if I hadn’t seen what I could do with her mop of curls.
So, you can see how things came together in my head, and I decided that it was a good time to start messing with Annie’s mane. Annabel has the funniest hair. Long on top, short in the back. She has the reverse mullet!
I started with pigtails, and she looked so much like Maddie I had to smile and laugh.
Next we moved on to Annie’s favorite, The Bieber:
Look at her with her pretend microphone!
baby, baby, baby OH!
Then, she demanded I fashion her hair into a poof a la Snookie.
She even has that Snookie attitude.
Next she wanted to know what it would be like to have straight hair like Mommy.
I like her better with curls.
She does, too.
All that hair styling was exhausting, so she took a nap. When she woke up? She was the Mayor of Bedhead City.
I gave up at that point, and left the hair accessories for her to do what she wanted with them.
She clearly has a lot to learn about hair.
Annie Y says:
I LOVE the pigtails!
So stinkin’ cute!
dysfunctional mom says:
I like her ‘do the best! ;o)
Summer says:
You’re such a fun Mom! I love the Bieber microphone shot!
Jen says:
Loving the Beiber, though I think the Snookie looks a bit more like her Daddy!
Sheila says:
I think I keep leaving the same comment over and over, but I mean it – I cannot take how cute this little girl is!!!! She’s a doll!
Courtney says:
Oh my god…her facial expressions? UH-MAZING. You guys are too funny!
Lisa says:
Little baby diva in the making.
Sue says:
Loved all of Annie’s styles, and she is just too cute for words! She does look so much like beautiful, little, Maddie in the first picture…………………
Kate @ UpsideBackwards says:
She really is adorable. Look at those smiles It’s great to hear about you two having a happy time together.
Elizabeth @ Miss Wisabus says:
These of Annabel crack me up. LOVE THE BIEB. And Maddie’s are so adorable I can hardly take it. Clearly, she’s channeling Henry Winkler in that one shot.
Kelly says:
I love doing experiments on my girls hair…I love the photo of Annie’s do. If Mea were allowed to do her own hair daily, this is what she would look like, too. A few more hair accessories, but pretty close to that one….
Nellie says:
Ohh, how utterly precious and hilarious at the same time! The straight hair reminded me of Alfalfa from The Little Rascals.
Madeline and Annabel both beauties inside and out and hair so divine to boot!
Mary Ann says:
OMG that was hilarious! Oh Baby, Baby I love the Beiber look and those pigtails are precious! I think she should be the Beibs for Halloween. You are in for some major attitude when she becomes a teen.
Jenn says:
I was wondering when this was going to happen? I love the mic shot, and the singing one too!!! She is so cute and you’re right…she does remind me of Maddie too. The thing I am MOST happy about? It was so obvious in those photos, in those few moments you both had fun and just for a little bit of time, you were both happy…..and that is pricelesss!
Thanks for sharing!
Love,
Jenn

She is so cute I could just eat her up! I have a confession: I play with my son’s hair like this. It’s just too pretty not to play wit it!
cindy w says:
Aww, I remember when you did this with Maddie too. Love it. And so funny that Annie has the reverse mullet, aka the Kate Gosselin.
Midwest Mommy says:
She is too cute but can I just say I am amazed how clean your chair is. Is that weird? I dream of stain free furniture I guess, lol.
Lisa says:
I remember that Maddie post fondly, those little pigtails sticking out the top of her head were so flippin’ adorable. I was so jealous because at the time Maya still had so little hair I couldn’t even get the tiniest of bows in it.
Annie looks just as adorable as her big sis in those little pigtails. Can’t wait to see what hair styles she sports next time
Keri says:
Heather – the BIEBER!!!!!!! I love it. Annie looks like she’s about to break into song!
Snickrsnack Katie says:

Kristi F says:
Oh my goodness, those pictures were just too cute! Your little Annie is a real doll no matter how her hair is styled.
Rhonda says:
A-DOR-A-BLE!!!! I’m going to do this to my daughter, if she’ll let me…she’s 18!! haha!! I wish I would have thought of that!! I did put a bright blue bandana on her head once and she has the biggest blue eyes, turned out real cute! I wish I could hold Annie and squeeze her all over!!! And, maybe nibble a bit, too!! haha!!
Camie says:
Instant favorite post! How do you get such adorable girls? Maddie and Annie rock the pigtails like nobody’s business.
Kenna says:

Your girls definitely love the camera. It’s great to see such happy Maddie pics, and Annie definitely inherited the ability to ham it up! I think I like the Mayor picture the best. I can just hear her: “You talkin’ to me?”
Anna says:
Annabel is so stinkin’ cute, she just makes me smile! Hope you’re smiling today, too! =)
Amy says:
Nate has, unfortunately, rocked the Bieber on occasion, but totally by accident, like after wrestling with Daddy.
Annie is just so gorgeous. Like, every day she gets more beautiful.

PS – Love the “Part 2” title. I went back and read the Part 1 with Maddie, and the pictures are soooo funny. She’s such a doll, and so beautiful. She looks like so much fun. Both your girls do!!
Lisa says:
Now that’s what I call a good model. Are you paying her in a nice college fund?
Jeannine says:
Annabel is such a cutie!

You and Mike have the cutest little girls EVER.

Snarky Mommy says:
I seriously just laughed out loud when I saw the Bieber. That’s hilarious, but in five years you’ll look back and be all, “Who the hell is Bieber?”
She is just too cute.
Lori says:
She is the cutest, most photogenic baby ever!!
Sue says:
…….The Beiber……. buwahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaa
Elizabeth says:
I almost never comment but that kid is damn cute. The head!! The hair!! and in other photos The Belly!!
Not sure if I like the Bieber or the last photo better. Regardless, she is just damn cute.

Loving the Bieber look on Annie. Haha! =P And with the straight hair like mommy she reminds me of Maddie.

So cute!!
Annie looks so much like her big sister!
Dawn @ What's Around the Next Bend? says:
She looks like a little bug in that first picture… a CUTE little bug!
Kristafied says:
I love how much you enjoy your girls. When I look back over old posts about Maddie, I’m struck by how you seemed to savor your time with her. Despite your grief, or perhaps because of it, I see you doing the same with Annie.
On a lighter note, my five-month-old daughter has very similar hair to Annie and I see a photo shoot in her future. The two-year-old won’t even let me comb hers anymore, so clearly, I need to train Abby from a young age…
Marie says:
That is possibly the happiest baby I have ever seen. And the looks she gives fits the hairdos perfectly. Love the Bieber even though that kid just gives me fits lol. And the first one – she does look like a little bug. Somebody else said that and it’s adorable.
It’s so great that you have so much fun with her.
Hugs
Marie
Kristin says:
ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!
Veronika says:
Such a gorgeous little girl! Her expressions are priceless!
Kristi says:
O.k. Those pics are hilarious and I love the captions you put with them. Annabel has a sparkling personality. She has a strong resemblance to you in this series of pics: her cheekbones, the shape of her eyes, the smile.
Shari says:
I don’t comment often but I LOVE this! I laughed at every single one. She is to cute for words! She is going to love looking at all these pictures when she gets old!
Amanda says:
adorable!!! I personally love the mayor of bedhead pic, because it reminds me so much of when my Zoe was that age, her hair naturally did the “spiky” everywhere. I was so glad that for one of the baby pics we had done professionally I let it be natural instead of smushing it down. it’s my favorite picture of her.
Kalen says:
OMG – best. post. evar. Srsly – this was the cutest/funniest/sweetest one in a while – love it The Bieber-style is hilarious.
Grainne says:
Oh my goodness, that girl is just so cute! And she has so much attitude – I love it!
