I've gotten a few random comments about how much Addy and Tyler look like eachother (from people who know they are not biological siblings). I guess they look a little alike if you look at the picture above and below this. We do have a few pics of Addy that look quite similar to him at this age but at their current ages I do not think they look anything alike! And then comes the comment, "They look so much alike, noone will even know they aren't real siblings".... Some times said just as a comment, sometimes said more like it was a good thing they at least look like eachother... To which I reply, "they are real siblings, they are both ours." And it is as simple as that. They are both ours, they are real siblings. I know for some people it is hard to understand that it is OK for your children to not look like you and to not look like eachother and that we are happy with that. We set out to create our family through adoption without hesistation or worry that they wouldn't look like us. They will always know that they are beautiful no matter what they look like. Which is another reason it is nice to have a big group of amazing friends with families who look just like ours!So what do you think, do they look like eachother?
This weekend we went to the "minizoo" with our adoption friends and finally got a picture of Nell and Tyler, the two newest members of our group... NOTE, Nell is about 3-4 weeks OLDER than Tyler!
Delany is Tylers future GIRL friend. I told her she couldn't make out with him again until she was 20 and then couldn't do it in front of their parents! It was love at first sight!
Addy and Miles got licked by the deer!
Thank you Sophia for the lift! Everyone elses stroller always looks better than your own so the whole trip we played musical strollers and switched off kiddos at almost every stop!
Sometimes the easiest picture to get are those when they are all distracted. Note my child is the one climbing the fence!
The otters were a huge hit!
Seriously, could these two get any cuter! They both wanted to climb into Addys crib, so there they played and laughed!
This shows how long it really is! The back is a little shorter in the middle but most is around this legnth 6-7 inches when pulled straight.
Just after washing...The curls are much shorter, the parts from the previous style remain until I redo another style or she sleeps on it.
Here is it naturally free with some product in it to help keep it more moisturized. You can see the curls are much tighter and very dense, this kid has a ton of hair! Its super gorgeous this way but dries out very fast and tangles instantly so is rarely left free at this stage. Once she is out of the carseat and not napping it will stay nicer longer. Plus with it getting so dry we want to prevent breakage and most styles are more moisturizing and conducive to helping keep the hair healthy.
OTHER FUN THINGS...
Here is our first time using sidewalk chalk! Addy would tell me what to draw and then she would color it in (or at least attempt to and would help). She is very into "cute stars" right now so we did a lot of those and a lot of different animals!
She has also figured out that she can hide! She piled up the cushions from the couch that were on the floor and hid under them playing peek with me... Too funny!
