Going...going...gone...

Tonight when Brando was feeding Addison she fell asleep! I'm glad he was able to get pictures! I think these are so funny because you can tell how hard she was trying to stay awake. She was determined to finish her food, but as soon as she did she was out!

5 months...

I can't believe Addison is 5 months! She has quite the personality and keeps me very busy! She is the the happiest little girl. Some of Addison's things she likes and can do at 5 months are...
*rolls over
*has started sitting on her own
*loves drinking water through the end of a straw
*loves drinking out of her sippy cup
*loves: peaches, prunes, sweet potatoes, pears & squash. HATES bananas & applesauce!
*LOVES dogs especially Bella
*has started sleeping through the night and officially has a bedtime!
*loves watching and playing with little kids
*loves playing in her saucer
*sucks on my cheek every morning when I get her out of bed
*laughs when she sees or thinks something is funny
*loves to scream (happy not mad) especially in church!
*loves going on walks
*LOVES taking her nightly baths
*loves to chew and suck anything she can get her hands on!
*HATES taking naps!!!
She is such a busy little girl! I love always having my little sidekick with me and don't know what I would do without her! I am so lucky to be her mom! Here are just a few pictures from the past month.

4 1/2 month pictures my mom took (more to come)

4 months...

I can't believe Addison is 4 months today! It's crazy how fast time goes. We had her 4 month check up on Tuesday and her is where she is at:
Weight: 13 pounds 9 ounces- 61st percentile
Height: 25 inches- 67th percentile
Head: 25th percentile
We started giving her rice cereal and she LOVED it!!! It was quite the mess and I learned very quick never to feed her again in clothes! She kept grabbing the spoon and wanted to hold it all by herself. It's so exciting to see Addison learn how to do new things but at the same time it's sad to see her grow so fast! I wish she could stay little forever!

St. George

We went to St. George this past weekend to spend Easter with Brando's family. It was so nice to finally be in warm weather! Addison LOVED all the attention she got! I don't think she was ever not being held or played with.

Ashlee made Addison this cute skirt. I didn't get any great pictures so this was probably the best one I got where you can see the whole skirt. Thanks again Ash I LOVE all her new skirts!!!

Easter

Brando's cousins little girl Tylee & Addison. Tylee LOVED Addison and kept giving her hugs and kisses the whole time we were there. They were so cute to watch together.

Brando's little sister Britlyn & Addison. Britlyn loved playing with Addison. It was so nice having so much help from her! This was another one of the skirts Ashlee made. Aren't they just the cutest things ever!

A day at the park...

Today we went to the park and it was so... much fun! It was nice to FINALLY have warm enough weather so we could go on a walk. I'm sure we were quite the sight to see between all four strollers! I can't wait for the weather to stay warm so we can start going to the park a few times a week!

Addison LOVES going on walks. I love it when she smiles so big her eyes shut!

Addison and Graham

My mom took Graham's six month pictures Friday and I was so excited to get a picture with Addison and Graham. The only other picture we have of these two are from the hospital when Addison was born! Graham was very excited when we set Addison down next to him. He couldn't get enough of her and kept trying to kiss her head and grab her. It was so funny to watch! I am so happy we FINALLLY got a few pictures of these two!

3 & 1/2 months ago...

now...

3 months

I can't believe Addison turned 3 months last Monday. Time has gone by so fast. She has learned so many new things and thinks she is such a big girl. Some of Addison's new tricks are...
*giggles when she sees something that it funny
*almost is rolling over, gets to her side but can't quite make it all the way over
*looks as herself in the mirror and giggles (I don't think she understands that it's her)
*gets her two little hands in fists and shakes them so hard (mainly when she is really excited or really mad)
*LOVES to smile. I don't think I have ever met a baby who smiles more
*has really discovered her voice
*loves to stand (with us helping by holding her hands)
*has really discovered her hands and loves to grab everything especially my hair!
*for the most part is sleeping through the night!!!
I love Addison so much and can't imagine my life without her! She really is my little buddy. I am so grateful for having her in our lives and for being her mom! Here are a few pictures from Sienna's birthday a couple weeks ago...

All smiles...

I can't believe Addison will be 3 months next Monday. She is getting so big and is really starting to interact with us and we LOVE it! She is always smiling and even started to giggle last week! She has discovered her hands and loves to grab everything! We had her 2 month check up a couple weeks ago and here is where she is at:
Weight: 11 pounds 7 ounces- 62nd percentile
Height: 23 inches- 66th percentile
Head: 24th percentile
Some of Addison's favorite things to do are...

smiles at everyone
watches Baby Einstein and smiles so big that her eyes close!

taking a bath
getting all wrapped up after her bath
hanging out in her pajamas with her binki playing with her best friend (and cousin) Tessa. These two are only 3 months apart and they already LOVE eachother! It's so cute to watch them together!
