Thankfully there's a solution:
A wig. For babies. Of course.
Besides being a little breezy on top, the girls are doing great. Their eye contact is quite meaningful and we're getting hints at smiles. Lillian's prevacid seems to be working well and offering her (all of us) some relief from the reflux. We haven't had a weigh-in since the fifth, so I can't give you any numbers, but I think Naomi's flirting with double digits.
They are both moving a lot more and like to be moved. Walking around in the baby carrier while someone does chores is about as good as it gets. Naomi helps me load the dishwasher almost every day. This is Lillian and I from a few weeks ago. I'm not angry, despite the look on my face:
Other highlights:
The girls were treated last weekend to visits from the Weatherlow Miller clan as they passed through town.
Yesterday we took a day trip to Nana and Papa's--our longest, farthest outing as of yet.
Friday, we went out to dinner. It was Chipotle, but still. Baby steps.
More pictures soon!

On your hair-get it cut. I know that sounds simplistic, but I had the same problem after Hannah, and a serious haircut cleared it up quite nicely. Hannah also had a red mullet and lost some after she was born. Quite normal.
I hear dread locks are in this year for babies!
Our two had full heads of dark hair at birth too, but under the soft baby-down I could see thicker blond(e) hairs. My theory was that the baby-down was the color the adult hair would be, so I took a clip of each from the nape of their necks, and stuck it into their baby books. I'm not yet sure if my theory has worked out, as Ted's color is still changing naturally, and Miri doesn't allow hers to stay a natural color.
The babydown all fell out, the blond(e) predominated, they both still looked hairless even into toddling days. Dave called them both "baldylocks".
Even when the blond(e) started growing in, we got odd looks, since both Dave and I have dark hair. People asked if we'd adopted them -- or perhaps the ones who didn't ask suspected we'd stolen them. (I was blonde as a baby, too. I suspect the coloring is the "blanc" and "Blanchard".)
Love the ERGO!! Rowen lived in it for the first 10 weeks of his life!! More pictures please! :)
