Adelyn has been a busy growing girl this month! We are constantly amazed at how much she knows and how well she can communicate with us. She will say things like "medicine, toof, coming" to let me know her tooth is bothering her or "diaper, stinky, check" to stall bed time just a little bit longer. She also has an amazing memory and will talk about people or events days later.  A few other developmental milestones include saying her own name, kicking and throwing a ball, and saying "hi" to her shadow whenever it appears!

On March 23rd Adelyn became a cousin and Matt & I an aunt and uncle as Chris and Ashley welcomed Caroline Cooper into the world. This is Adelyn's favorite picture of Caroline and she asks to see it on a regular basis. It is so cute to watch her study it. After a few minutes she'll say "baby, seepy, hat, blanket" and then try to share her broccoli with Caroline. Other times she wants to give her a hug, kiss, and call "Rhine" to talk on the phone.

Now we're just waiting on the arrival of Darla and Rob's baby. She's not due until the end of April but we're hoping for an early arrival!

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9

"I have ponytail!"

Yesterday Adelyn wanted me to fix her hair in a ponytail. I can assure you it's much harder than it sounds. Poor kid got my hair. But she doesn't know it and after seeing herself in the mirror she was so proud. The first thing she wanted to do was show daddy. So, we made him a video... At dinner I was lamenting about how grown up she looks and that it makes me kind of sad. Matt's sympathetic response? "Her hair really isn't long enough for a ponytail if you ask me. She looks like a boy from the front and when she turns to the side she looks like a pirate." Ahh, just what every girl wants to hear, "you look like a pirate."

Eye to Eye

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to know that Matt & I don't always agree on everything. For example, I think Matt should appreciate what a bargain shopper I am. Matt doesn't think I should shop. Clearly, someone's mistaken. But when it comes to parenting we really have been in agreement on every issue (yes, I know it's only been 6 months) but one...Diapers. Now before you think to yourself "I wonder if they're using cloth diapers?" let me just tell you that we completely agree that money should never be saved on 3 items. Toilet Paper. Paper Towels. And you guessed it, Diapers. So what's problem? It's the size of the diaper. If it was up to Matt, Adelyn would still be wearing the newborn size. (I think he's in denial about the fact that she's actually grown since being born). I however, the head diaper changer, fully understand the importance of a well fit diaper. In Matt's defense, he has never actually changed a blow-...
