Random Pictures over the Past Month

very serious thinking!

I've never seen such a tiny t-shirt! We donated Addie's cord blood when she was born, and LifeSouth sent her this "6-month" size t-shirt. It's already almost too small for her!

Statistics show that families tend to use their privately banked cord blood in less than 1% of the situations, and it's incredibly expensive to bank and keep. However, those 1% have potentially saved their child from a life threatening illness! Since the odds are so low and there is much research needed in this field, we decided to donate Addie's instead of discarding it in an effort to 1.) help another child or 2.) hope that it or a match is there if Addie needs it one day. You can learn more about this at www.lifesouth.org/lifecord.html

She's holding the rattle! Unfortunately, she actually hit herself in the head with it later on. So...we've opted for smaller (and softer) objects for the time being until she gains better control of her arms/movements. I still thought it was pretty amazing! We've found her grabbing the rings on the toys on her car seat also. She's growing up so fast!

(Neal, Jen, and Will...that would be the rings connected to Mr. Circle, Rectangle, and Triangle).

Fuzz is determined to sleep in either Addie's bed or in her pack-in-play. In an effort to keep her out of both, she's decided the changing table is just as suitable! It's working...for now at least.

Bath time is WAY more fun now...but it's still incredibly hard to put a nightgown on a slightly damp, lotion lathered baby! She's awfully good natured about it though.

getting sleepy but still time for a smile!

Abbey SO sweetly laid her head down on Addie's legs...but Mollie had to be part of the action (before i could snap the picture) and proceeded to almost kiss Addie on the lips! (we prevented that though...so no worries!)
