Genes

Annika has had a two month long birthday this year. It started in September when she got a package from her Grandma Svetlana and stretched even till today when she got a birthday package from her Grandma Lori. We even still have balloons floating around the house from her actual birthday in October. In this picture she is proadly displaying this fleece Tinkerbell vest that Grandma Lori made for her. She felt so special getting her own Tinkerbell panties, stickers and movie from Grandma Lori as well.

A few nights ago Ariel was being really goofy and she started to look like my dad to me, so I wanted to take a picture. I wanted to post a picture of him right next to it, but as I was looking through my pictures of a good one of my dad, I realized that she looks like me. People always recognized me as "Dwight's daughter" and I guess those genes are pretty strong. Erin and Rebekah, don't you see Dad's nose on her face? and forehead (not that his nose is on her forehead, but that she has a big one like him (and me)).

I apologize for not having anything more thought provoking to post tonight, but I am trying to keep up with the November thing. I left a really long comment on Lisa's blog if you want to go check that out.
Today I am grateful for warm weather.

Ariel looks so beautiful and grown up in that picture! Yes, she does look like your dad. And I'm just realizing how much you and Jacob look alike and that Ariel could totally pass for Jacob's daughter! Heck when we were in San Diego and took Adriana to the beach everyone thought she was our daughter (though its not like she looks like me!)

i saw you in her the first time i saw her picture--she looks exactly like you! everyone always told me i looked exactly like my mother, and it drove me nuts as a kid, but now i love it. so prepare yourself that she may not like being compared to you until she is older and wiser. :)

I love that picture of Ariel because she just looks so content and happy. I totally see the forehead, and she looks just like you. I have a problem with noses and deciding who has whose because Rebekah always told me I have the mail man's nose. I like the vest too! How fun.
