Cute Addie . . .

Latey I've been trying to watch Addie from the sideline because I've found that when she doesn't know she's been watched that her true sweet side comes out. Look at that beautiful girl! She has been great with her brothers lately, again, when no one is watching. She made lunch for Jax the other day and is constantly trying to mother Gray.

Anyway, the first picture is of her with NO front teeth. She has lost all four front teeth in the last 2 months. The last one was hanging on like a snaggle tooth forever until we realized that she didn't want it come out because she was worried she would look silly and get made fun of for not having any front teeth. We literally had to pin her down and have Matt pop that tooth right out of there the other night. Finally. . . . This picture was supposed to be of her with no front teeth but she so sweetly invited the boys into her picture. I have found that she actually does love them, when they aren't trying to tackle her, pull her hair, play with her lip gloss, or open the door on her when she's going to the bathroom. . . .Lately she has developed a very special relationship with Gray. He looks for her when he wakes up, wants to swim with her . . .Anyway -
So here's how the story goes - Gray is in love with baseball. He loves Hootz, the mascot for the minor league team the Orem Owlz. He also loves the movie Everyone's Hero which is about baseball during Babe Ruth's era. So I overheard Gray talking to Addie 2 days ago, telling her that he wanted Hootz and Babe Ruth to autograph his baseball. When I came back - this is what I found. . . . Seriously - too cute.
If you can't tell - that's supposed to say Hootz and the second one is supposed to be Babe Ruth. These are the same baseball, just different sides . . .

Much love to Addie - our little girl who would just love to have a sister but is learning to love her hooligan brothers. . .

I guess she is figuring out that you don't get to pick your family, just your friends. Someone else does the family picking, luckily.
