New Addition to the Nelson Household!!!

And I guarantee it's not what you think!!!

Addie got her very own pet today -- a beta fish we have named Dory. (Anyone who has ever seen Addie's favorite movie -- Finding Nemo -- will know where that name is from!)


Dad even let Addie put in the rocks all by herself. Addie managed to get the majority into the fish tank but she left a few out to play with later...

Then she spent time smoothing the rocks out to make an even bottom. And then when they were all nice and smooth -- she decided they all needed to be on one side!

And then she helped dad pour in the water.

Meet Dory!

See Dory? She is right at the end of Addie's finger.

Addie watching Dory. Aren't they adorable?!?


Where Dory will live! On top of Addie's dresser in Addie's room. (Don't worry -- the dresser isn't really that short... Addie's on the stepstool!)

Awwwwwwww! Sooooo cute! I love how she splashes her little hand in the water to get the food in there. And her little word-noises...just precious :)
