On the Move!!!!

Without a doubt, Alyssa is learning very quickly by watching her big sister. She has been doing this crazy army crawl/scooting thing until today. Literally overnight she started to crawl on all 4! She is loving the speed she has gained now! We've spotted a 4th white bump on her lower gum which explains her very unusual crankiness the past week or so. Guess her tooth was hurting. :(
Addison has developed this aversion to bedtime. She is tired and she wants to sleep but has to have someone lay with her. Tonight I put my foot down, closed the door and although it made me sad, let her cry. Until..... Daddy came out of the shower. All Addison had to do was bat her big brown eyes and say "Daddy, please lay with me" and the answer was immediately yes. To make it even harder for him to say no, she said "Daddy are you going to lay with me"? When Brian answered yes, her reply was "Oh thank you so much, I am so happy now." WOW- she is learning the art of manipulation at such a young age! Those big brown eyes and long eyelashes are winning over many! Jenn also can not resist the sweet batting of the eyelashes. Seems she has been getting some afternoon rest at nap time as well! Brian made a very good point the other night, he said we should embrace this time because soon enough they won't want us to lay with them... sniff, sniff. Don't even want to think about that!!!
