The Nifty Fifty and a Smart Cookie Too...

Addie will be 4 1/2 in February. We know she's ours, and we would be proud and brag on her accomplishments no matter what they might be, but we think she is kind of on the smart side of the spectrum. This morning she put the entire 50 states puzzle together on her own... twice! She can tell you what states she has visited and point them out. Doug has started doing math with her and she loves it. She still enjoys reading and asks how to spell all kinds of words. She just amazes us on a daily basis. We are so encouraged by her love of learning!

If There Was Any Doubt Who I Look Like...

Addie at 1 Week Old

Here is Addie Leigh at 2-3 Months Old...

They definitely resemble each other. As a sister and brother, I think they will look a lot alike growing up, just male and female versions of each other. Eli's eyelashes are growing long and are darkening around his big blue eyes... thank you Daddy! They both have the same coloring with a slight reddish tint to their hair... thank you Mommy! They both have dimples... thank you Mommy & Daddy!

8 Weeks Old (Monday Jan 10th)

Can you believe it... 8 weeks old!?! I am such a good little man for my mommy and daddy. I have started sleeping through the night and have gotten into a good daily routine of naps and feedings. I think my big sister is the bee's knees and I love watching her play games, make art projects, and run around with mommy and daddy. I am a little stinker... literally... I think it's really funny to poop my pants and make mommy change them. I just laugh and smile the whole time she is elbow deep in the good stuff! I am very strong and really enjoy "talking" to animals on my activity mat. I have my two month appointment on Thursday, so I'll keep you posted on how much I've grown since my 2 week appointment.
