Hair

Lyrics from the musical Hair: 

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

 

So I was thinking the other day about how many inches an average person's hair grows per year.  It is a 1/2 an inch a month for a total of 6 (I know, I am great at math). 

Here is Emmie one year ago.  Notice how long her hair is.  What would you say... 2 inches?

Now check out Emmie one year later. How long do you think it is?  Maybe 4 inches?

If my math skills are correct, that means her hair grew 2 inches. We might just have a cute bob by the time she enters kindergarten.
