addie


addelyn: now 6 months old. loves to suck her fingers and play with her toes, is a drooler, and is as bald (and beautiful) as ever. she & carson have a special bond. she thinks her wide-open display of gums & tongue equals a smile. she's started eating, mashed up, pretty much what we eat, but she especially loves fruit.
addie prefers to be where the action is until she's tired, and then all she wants is her sleep, which she communicates very effectively. (the people at church feel very sorry for us, i think, because sundays are her crabbiest days, by far. 1-4 p.m., though, so what do you expect.) she still needs to be swaddled to fall asleep, but she's strong enough to wiggle herself free sometimes.
she can be picky and temperamental, but mostly she's sweetness itself, embodied in an adorable, dimply ball of muscle. which, of course, her dimples (and smile, for that matter) are nowhere to be found when i finally busted out the camera.

There you are, Brittney! Long lost blogger! I know your extra time is dedicated to dance right now, so it was a treat to get a run down on your cuuuute kids in today's post. Uh, in person would be even better, but I'll take what I can get! Plus... I love to read your writing; you are the best! xxoo

P.S. Looking forward to 3/14/09 when you get your jig on!

Your kids are adorable. And I can tell you are an amazing mom! I was hoping for a picture of your hair after Layla was finished. Next time, right?
