Glad to hear that she is doing well. Please don't forget to take care of your self too, I hope that your start feeling better soon.
As far as topknot, I just start out parting the hair above the eyes, go from the corner of her eyes back, and then just put a little laytex band in it, not too tight
then once she gets used to the band you can start using bows, just put them over the band.
I can't wait to see updated pics of Lilly Kisses.
