This morning I was looking at a calendar. Something I do everyday, multiple times everyday. But for some reason today, I looked a little closer and got to thinking,
“How can Addie be 14 weeks old? I posted a blog about months/vs weeks 2 weeks ago, but things just aren’t adding up. Addie can’t be 14 weeks…she just can’t be.”
So, I pull out the calendar again and start counting.
Born: June 11th
Week 1: June 18th
Week 2: June 25th….
Week 12: September 3 CRAP!
Addie is actually 15 weeks old right now.
I am sure some people knew this and just smiled sheepishly when I act the fool and don’t know my daughters own age. Sheesh, I mean she has only been here for 15 weeks and I know I can count to 15, right? 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14…26? Hmm, OK well I guess that explains it.
I am not one of those moms looking at a baby book to see what she should be doing for her age. She grows as she wants and really all I can do is encourage what she wants to do and not what the books say she should be doing. After all, She is my daughter and stubborn as all Hell!
So the good thing, Addie will be 16 weeks old next Wednesday which means she is almost 4 months, no, wait… she will be 4 months on October 11 which is actually 17.5 weeks… Oh, I am so not getting into that again!

oh my crap! Do you think I have any idea how old Chloe is? I’m just wondering when she’ll be 5 and in Kindergarten. Until then it just doesn’t matter.
