Alaina and a Blast From the Past

First, my sweet Alaina. The one who does cartwheels on her way to get something across the room. The one who wakes up every morning earlier than anyone else raring to go. The one will walk in the room in a different outfit every hour or so. The one who is constantly asking you to watch her dance or do gymnastics. The one who is here, there and everywhere before you realize she has even left the room. The one who will cop an attitude and talk back impulsively before even SHE realizes it. She is also the one who will go retrieve an item for you without complaint. She will pick up her brother's shoes to deposit them in their proper place unasked. She will draw you a picture whenever you want, three if you'll take them. : ) She is a nurturer and a drama queen and everything in between. One thing is for sure. she loves to "help" with Zane.

 This boy does love some bath time.

 And his sister sure does love to help wash him, or swirl the water, or wring the washcloth, or add extra soap, etc.........

 After this bath, Zane was WIDE AWAKE. He was almost trance like, like he was seeing the world for the first time. He was calmly looking all around, absorbing what he saw.

It was in this position, looking out the window, that he sat almost motionless for minutes as I held him. He just stared out the window as if he were seeing the most awesome sight. It was quite amazing!

Now......A Blast From the Past. Conner Sandberg at Zane's current age.....

 Not the best pics, but I certainly see the resemblance....or do all dark eyed, dark haired babies look the same at 2 weeks old?

Last but not least, let me remind us all what Conner looked like at three weeks old. Just in case cute little Zane loses his hair and develops severe baby acne, we can all prepare ourselves for what is to come......

 YIKES!!!!
