Pictures of my dress!

Here you go Yvonne!

I will take pictures of her all dressed up as well. Here is the hat and mittens I found! Too cute!

Showing off by Addi

This past Saturday mom, dad, and I had a great time together! We went to the fair, which of course doesn't really seem like an extravagant thing, but boy did we have fun! I enjoyed looking at all of the animals, and I was so excited to see how much fun mom and dad were having. Although mom had been to the fair numerous times growing up, she really didn't remember watching them show cows or the exhibits- it was more about the games and rides. Dad use to show cows growing up so he gave us the "insiders" view. They wash and shave them! We got to see tiny baby goats and several piglets nursing.

I stayed awake the entire time at the fair! It was sunny so I had a chance to sport my new shades.

Mrs. Alice gave mom my first piece of artwork (handprints) from school. I had a blast making it and tried to sneak some orange paint home on my clothes but mom caught me and washed my clothes.


This weekend I get to see Vanessa and Sylvie. We are going to have a photoshoot and a school meeting at Lake Ella and of course talk about life, school, and research. Mom keeps telling me that I'm going to have a PhD by the end of it all ;-). Mimi Rie and Granddad Rick are coming in town as well. I can't wait to see them! They are going to visit with us since we will be in Michigan next week and since Dylan isn't coming with us, they are going to take her home with them for a while. I sure am going to miss her.

Speaking of Michigan, we are leaving on Monday for Lisa's wedding. I am so excited to get to meet everyone. Mom bought me a party dress to wear to the wedding!

My new thing to do is throw my pacis and toys. I just get so excited I can't help it. Its funny watching mom and dad search for my pacis under my crib.

Pictures & The Sweater

Here are a couple of pictures from the week and a picture of the sweater that our doula and friend, Karen made for Addi. She designed it with Addison in mind and thought both the color and design complimented Addison's eyes and skin tone. It is such a beautiful sweater and so soft - has a touch of cashmere! We adore the sweater just as we adore Karen.

4 Month Check-up

Addi had her 4 months check up today and is doing well! She is 13lb 3oz and 24 inches long. Her weight is 50th percentile and her height is 35th (better than the 25 last time :)) Our doctor said all is well and that Addison is growing like a weed.

She has discovered her jumperoo this week and loves it! We have to stick a blanket in there with her because she is somewhat petite for the chair but she jumps and turns and has a blast looking at the toys. Her tippee-toes barely touch, but its just enough for her to get some bounce. She loves baths and splashes a good amount of the water out of the tub by the time we are finished -I think she wants to make sure she shares with the rest of us. She likes to sit up (propped of course) and likes it when we put her in that position. We got Dance Dance Revolution the other day for Wii and she laughed at me dancing and really enjoyed the "show"!

Happy 4 Months Addison!

Today is Addison's 4 month birthday. I really can't believe that four months have passed! She gets mesmerized by the camera so I have trouble capturing a smile so I was excited to get a smile on camera today!

Here are a few pictures from her day...

Sitting up in her Bumbo chair:

AECT09/Addi's 1st Halloween/Random Pic

I had a wonderful time at AECT. It was so inspiring and exciting! Louisville is a beautiful place. It was really hard being away from Addi, Scott, and Dylan, but it was such a great conference. I met a lot of wonderful people and learned a lot of great things. My presentation went well. One person said it was the best s/he had been to so far :)


Pics of Addi's first halloween...We went to Howl-o-ween and met up with a few friends.


Just a really cute picture of Addison...
