Sweet Cousins

This past weekend we took advantage of the CRAZY Southwest deal of $25 tickets and got to spend some much needed time in Lubbock with Addie’s sweet cousins.  We had a great time just catching up, watching football and eating.   I think sweet 15 month old Sayla ate more than the rest of us.

This trip made me even more excited for Christmas, this will be such an awesome Christmas with all the little girls. 

Jordi has her hands full with Sayla and Addie (yes, Addie weighs 3 lbs more than Sayla :))

Jordi sorry for posting this but this still makes me laugh out loud.  Keadryn showing off her full she made her diaper.  It might not be the picture that makes me laugh but the memory of her running around the house doing her silly dance :)

Sick :(

We made it to 7.5 months and little Addie has her first round of sickness.   She woke up this morning on fire.  After undressing her and feeding her, her temp came down a bit but it was still 100.3.  Not high enough for the Dr but high enough to make us concerned.  She was very lethargic throughout the day but still had her appetite.  Her fever spiked at the end of the day so we made it in to see Amber and thankfully it was not RSV or the flu.  She just has some crud thing.  We are supposed to watch for any new signs over the next few days but thankfully it appears to be a mild sickness. 

The one good thing about Addie not feeling well is that she loves to snuggle. 

LoveBug is 7 months old!

Stop!  Seriously stop!  Stop growing so fast.  I can not believe that my little LoveBug is 7 months old.  CRAZY!

In this last month Addie has become so mobile.  She easily pulls herself up on pretty much any object.  She is able to take a couple of steps while she holds on to the chair, crib, couch, whatever.  One of her favorite toys is her rollarchair thingy.  She LOVES to be on the go on her own. 

Addie has 2 teeth.  Her 2 bottom teeth came popping through this month.  You have to be careful when she grabs your fingers…those chompers will hurt!

She loves food, loves it!  We haven’t found anything that she doesn’t enjoy.  Granny bought her some num-nums this weekend, and she devours them!  Finally something that looks like real food to her.  She loves her sippy cup. 

Loves to hear herself speak.  Night time is her most vocal time, she loves to carry on and on.  It is also her most giggly time, sometimes just a funny face will make her fall over from laughter.  Her little laugh is my most favorite sound in the world. 

For the most part Addie is still very easy going.  She does experience some separation anxiety.  Guys seem to concern her more than ladies.  It takes her a little bit to warm up to new people, she takes after her mom in that way : )

I love this little Lovebug and am so incredibly thankful for these 7 great months.

Hoppy Halloween

Addie’s first Halloween was a fun filled weekend.   The weekend started off with a visit to my office to complete my costume.

Dave is in costume as well…he doesn’t wear denim shirts everyday :)

Friday night we were invited to a Brew-ha-ha and it was a great party.  We were the only ones there with a little one, but she didn’t make a peep.  I think she was trying to understand what was going around her. 

 

Saturday was a whirlwind as we had a little neighborhood get together before the trick or treaters hit the streets.  The Smith’s came by with sweet Lola who is 2.5 months older.  Addie was a little over the whole dress up thing by now and wanted to get to bed in a hurry, but she put up with us before her bedtime.

Addie liked Lola’s costume…she seemed to feel a little silly as a bunny next to the cute little Hawaiian girl.  Since we were fading fast there was no luck getting a picture sans paci at this time of night.

Overall it was a fun Halloween, we look forward to next year!

Hoppy Halloween!

Stop growing so fast!!!

A few days ago little Addie turned 6 months old. 

A couple of weeks ago I posted that she was starting to crawl, she is now an official crawler, she is all over the place.  Here she is on the move…..

We have just started her on baby food after being cereal for a little over  a month.  So far we have tried green beans and they give her terrible gas so we are anxious to try something else.

The Dr told us today that she believes she is cutting her first tooth.   She took her (3) shots today again with nothing more than a little whimper.  Here are her stats from today  -

Weight 19.4 lbs   93 Percentile

Height 27.25        91 Percentile  

She is growing up so fast and I can’t believe how many changes come with every day, week and month.

Tonight she surprised us by pulling herself up to a standing position on her own….she will be walking before we know it.  

Another whirlwind trip to Childress

We took another fun road trip to Childress for the weekend to meet the newest Seal, Kendall.  She is just as cute as can be and so far a well mannered 1 week old :) 

We got off to a bright and early start on Saturday morning in the hopes that little Addie sleep the majority of the trip.  That theory kind of worked but we still had about 30 minutes of whining in the back seat before we made it to our destination.  Once we were there it was a good trip to see everyone.  Saturday night was an adventure as Addie was in no mood to sleep in her pack & play, she finally fell asleep at 11, only to be awake at 1 and then again at 6.  She slept next to me in bed that night, it was not a restful night to say the least.  Oh and by the way she punched me in the nose that night and she gave me a bloody nose….that girl is crazy strong. 

We turned right back around and were on the road again on Sunday afternoon.  Our 4 hour trip lasted FOR.EV.ER.  Addie had been awake from 9 to 2, a time in which she had usually taken 2 naps by now so we were FOR SURE thinking she would sleep right on through this road trip…WRONG.  Addie slept for about 30 minutes followed by 2 hours of crying….RI.DIC.U.LOUS. 

It was good to see everyone, here are a few pics from the weekend. 

Addie loved playing with Pops’ cool wheelchair

1 week old Kendall and her mom

Sweet Kendall

This picture just cracked me up…the chaos of trying to get the boys together with all of their daughters born this year.  That’s not a flying dog, just a dog we are holding up to try to get the little one’s attention.

That’s a little better….

Addie and Aunt Mollie

Baby Gates here we come….

Addie is soooo close to officially crawling.  She will move her arms back and forth and her little chubby legs kick back and forth to move herself forward. 

The cell phone is in her sight…..

Gathering momentum to get that booty moving….

Taking a break…

On the move….
