What do you think?

Do these two look alike, or nothing at all? Thomas 3 weeks

Grace 2 1/2 weeks

I found this of me, but I'm not sure how old I am. I wish it were closer to tell. Nolan's baby pictures would transfer, but I would say they take after him quite a bit.

Update:
Well Grace is still doing really well. She sleeps quite a bit during the day, but is starting to have a little longer periods of awake time. Nights are still going pretty well for the most part, but she sure is a grunter when it comes to gas and pooping. This is a perfect picture of her "taking care of business" with her hands clenched in much effort. The grunts can keep us up for hours at night, and she usually just sleeps right through it. Hopefully her digestive system settles down a bit.
We've been trying to get Thomas some fresh air so we try and go on a walk, to the library or a park in the day. Last weekend we went to the home show here, but other than that have been staying home mostly. Nolan is officially back at work, we sure miss him in the day! I think we are getting adjusted to just Thomas, Grace and I. Thomas is getting more and more interested in Grace. Now if she makes a noise, he runs to her, with a blanket and binki in hand. It's pretty funny unless she is just stirring in her sleep and his forcing the binki in her mouth wakes her up. Thomas loves his Cars, and was getting frustrated that they wouldn't drive on the train tracks, so Nolan drew a speedway on our patio. It's kept him pretty entertained. Well that's all the news for now, we're hoping to make a trip home this weekend, but we'll see if it works out. I can't get my hopes up too much in case things fall through.

They do look so much alike! I'm glad you guys are doing well. Donald has taken a giant step backwards as far as sleeping goes. He was doing so well only waking up once a night and now he wakes up twice and usually wants some play time in the middle of the night. Not too fun. I hope you guys make it home this weekend. Are you going home to Boise or home to Malta? Love, Sarah

RaeAnn said...

we hope you are coming this weekend-my hopes are already up.

I definitely see a strong resemblance between your two babies! Sounds like you're being such a trooper getting out and doing some stuff and even planning on traveling--you're a good mommy!!

The Buckley Family said...

Fun pics! Yes, I think your two little ones look just alike. I am glad she is making progress towards a normal sleep schedule. Eleanore was also very vocal when "taking care of business" and still is a bit noisy -- not much a of lady.

Katie Davis said...

Uh, yes. They look alike! What a cutie! She has already changed! Please say you're coming to Malta! Please, please, please,please, please, please... get the point? Love and miss ya!

I think they look alike, but Grace is more feminine. Mostly, I think she looks like you in your baby picture. Either way, she's beautiful. I hope you're surviving the days without Nolan. Thomas sounds like he's being a very good boy. His race track is way cool. It's good to know boys aren't the only ones who know how to grunt. Hope to see ya soon.

Kimberly McLaughlin said...

Well, my hopes are up so you better be coming!! Everyday when I get home from school I ask dad for an update on your travel plans. I need to see Thomas at least every 2 weeks so that I can be the favorite! :)

They totally look alike! I don't know about the one with you. Looks pretty cute with RaeAnn. I didn't know you had such dark hair. Where did it go? Well, hope you can make it home this weekend. You're crazy for wanting to drive with kids! I guess Grace still sleeps a lot so maybe it's a good time. Good luck. Oh, and did you get my email? How do I make a wall clock like yours?

Nicole and Abe said...

I'm glad that things are going well. It is probably an adjustment to add an extra kid. I am kinda scared for that step! I think that they look so much alike!!

Heaps said...

They are both so cute and Thomas is getting so big. HOw is Nolan's job? Hope all is going well.

I loved all the pictures! They do look a lot a like! I loved the picture of you and Raeann too. Grace is so cute in her "I love daddy outfit!" I am still looking for the perfect outfit. If 12 mo. is the size you need, I feel like I have plenty of time, so I'm going to be on the hunt for awhile!

The Jessups said...

Holy cow, YES, they look a like! Such beautiful children, Ashley! That is so cute that Nolan drew the speedway. Fun for Thomas! Way to go for getting out so soon!

Jenny Lee said...

They might as well be twins from those pictures. That's too bad her digestive system's giving her a rough time. Ashley was sure like that and we had to put her on soy milk. I liked Thomas's raceway Nolan made for him. He's so creative. Looks like you're adjusting just fine to two kids. That would be great if you could go home this weekend. You're pretty brave to be traveling already.

Kristina said...

Wow! They look a LOT alike in those pictures! How cute. Is her hair kind of red? It looks like it in one of the pictures, but it's hard to tell from pictures. Savanna's is getting more and more red! I would love to have a red head! =) Thomas's raceway with the chalk is awesome! Great idea.

Anna Mae and Boyd said...

Those pictures make me miss you being a little girl. I hope you get to go to Boise, your dad needs to see those cute kids.

ragslisa said...

they definately are siblings! I think she looks a little like you when you were little too! She almost looks like she has auburn hair! She's cute! Can't wait to catch up with you!

Brittany said...

They DO look a lot a like! And I think they look like that picture of you quite a bit as well! It sounds like things are going really well for ya! Good luck with traveling!

lins.e said...

what i think is that Grace looks just like you as a baby, not so much thomas, but you never know they change soooooooooo much!!!

Tayna said...

So CUTE! They for sure look a like, but she is more lady like for sure! So sweet! I'm glad she's still being good. I'm glad Thomas is starting to be a little more interested in her. I sure wish you were coming down. It would have been fun to love on you all again. Hopefully another time soon. I hope things are going okay with Nolan back to work. I think about it and can't help being a little jealous, I would LOVE to have Darin home at 3!! That's hardly work at all! Enjoy, things change!

Ash & Tim said...

I can most definitely see a resemblance- too cute! I can't believe how much she is already changing. She is darling! I can see some of you in her. Sounds like things are going well. I received your letter today and will for sure call tomorrow -thanks so much!

Nicole Lambert said...

I think that they look a lot alike!! They are both so cute! I am glad you are getting adjusted so well to everything!

Liz said...

They do look alike. That car race track on the patio is a cute idea

Erich said...

Grace is so adorable. I know what you mean when you say the time goes by so fast! That's hilarious about the grunting...except at 3 in the morning, not so funny then! Keep the pics coming!

If you thought this was good try one of these...
