3 months

Addison turned 3 months old this past Tuesday. She is really amazing and brings so much joy to Scott and I. She has started drooling like crazy, soaking everything she wears. Today we went to breastfeeding group where Heidi taught infant massage. We only got to the legs, but Addi loved it! She napped for quite a while afterward.We are working on the arms and midsection on Tuesday. She weighed 12lb7oz with her clothes on. Her eyes are still bright blue, but there is still a lot of time for them to change but who knows with Scott's family all having blue eyes. Addison loves chewing on things and has started enjoying playing with toys and snuggling up to blankets and blanket toys in the last few weeks. At daycare all of the teachers adore her and are constantly telling us how much they love spending time with her. The last two nights she has woken up around 3am and just played. The first night I went in there to make sure she was ok and to see if she was hungry. She was not - she just wanted to play for a bit and then go back to sleep. Last night Scott and I listened to her giggle and coo for about 20 minutes then when it quieted down we checked on her and she was back sleeping. She is constantly taking everything in - its truly amazing!

Our little tiger!


Today it was cold outside so Addi got to bundle up.


Addi is getting close to rolling over but she gets "stuck" on her side. I imagine it will be a while but its fun to watch her try!



Here is a sound slip of Addi "talking" to us. Its only a few seconds and I put a still picture over it.

Beach Pics

We went to Panama City Beach last weekend. It was Addi's first beach trip. It was so hard to keep her in the shade the entire time. We took her out of the shade for pics but that was about it. She slept most of the time and liked the water a lot! We didn't put her in the ocean...just the pool.

My weekend in SC By Addison

Mom and Dad took Dylan and I to SC Labor Day weekend. I got to see family and meet lots of new friends and family. The 6-hour ride wasn't so bad. Mom sat in the back with me so I didn't mind the ride although I couldn't sleep all the way there. The way home was a whole other story...I was so tuckered out from the weekend that I slept most of the way.

Even though I had my dolphin and my music and Sitti had a great crib and nursery for me, staying in a new place for the first time was a bit scary. I slept well but there was a lot going on and when I woke up in a new place I was a bit disoriented and had a little melt down. However, after a bit, I realized that things were okay.

One cool thing about going to SC was getting to meet more family and getting to meet and see lots of friends. Plus, I may have met my future boyfriend...watch out Mr. Moberg :) (Dana was just adorable!). I got to spend some time with my cousin Elise. She showed me her jumperoo. Mom video taped it...it was really cool and Elise was having a blast! I also got to meet my great grandmamma and I got to show off my Clemson gear...it was the first game of the season.

Hanging out with cousin Elise. She thought my ear was her toy :)


My friend Dana came over and we played. He's a doll, isn't he!



I was christened while I was in SC. It was at the same church that mom and dad got married in. I wore the same gown that mom and Aunt Michelle wore. Everyone came to watch! Afterward we went to lunch. It was so much fun!




I sure was tired after lunch. Please take note of my cute dress. Thanks Aunt Liz, Hope, Grace, Julie, & Katie!


Daddy got sick when we were at home. We later found out he had the flu so I haven't had daddy time in quite a while. I miss him but he is starting to feel better so we can snuggle soon. Mommy and I took care of him and Dylan kept him company all day long since Mommy and I had to stay in the other room. Mommy also had her preliminary exams. She told me that she is so happy they are over! Her and Rebekah keep saying that I'll have a PhD before I know it since I get to study with them so often!

Meet my new friend...Inkie the lamb. He is very snugglie! I also learned a new trick...that's right soon I'll be able to get those toes!

New Pics of Addi

I love staring at Daddy.


Hanging out at home.


Getting ready for my first IS function. I had so much fun!


Showing off my cute bow and my cute fishes! Aunt Michelle bought me this outfit and I love it! She doesn't like bows though...Sorry Aunt Michelle :)


Showing off my smile...I'm 8 weeks old in this picture!

time flies

Our little boo is 7weeks and 3 days today. I can't believe how much she has grown. We had our 2month appointment today. She looked great - she has gained 3lbs since birth putting her at 10lbs and 13oz. She is 22inches which is short but our doctor doesn't seemed worried. Have I mention how much our doctor rocks!!! We love her. She is a young mom (who had her babies while in med school away from family) so she is easy to relate to. Plus, she sees no problem with Addi having to go to daycare next week (tomorrow actually). Scott held Addi during her shots. I couldn't even look. She screamed bloody murder and then I nursed her for comfort purposes and she calmed right down. So far she isn't fussy but I allocated the rest of the day for Mommy-Addi time in case she didn't feel well. Of course she is sleeping ;-) Scott is dropping Addi off for her first day of daycare tomorrow - I just can't do it. We love the center and know everything will be great but its still hard to leave her. Its only part time after these first couple of weeks (I have to have extra time to prepare for my exam). She had her first official - not family or friend - sitter yesterday for a few hours. It went well. I almost cried when I left though.

She is really active first thing in the morning and later in the afternoon. We dance, sing, and read. In the mornings she is content listening to music (especially Raffi), kicking, and dancing, and of course talking and singing to us. She LOVES her mobile and gets really excited when she looks at it and listens to Raffi. In the afternoons it varies...she likes playing and listening to music on her own and sometimes she wants to cuddle and play or read or dance with us. She is a very snuggly baby...not surprising since we are a snuggly family - can't help it my family is super snuggly. We aren't sure what happened to Dylan :) - probably growing up with all college boys for the first 3-4 years of her life. She does like to hang out on the bed with us which is probably my doing during college. That first night I went and got her out of the kitchen and brought her to bed with me. She likes her own space and isn't really a snuggler. Although she always wants to be with Scott and I.

Great News!!!

Addi will be 7 weeks tomorrow. I really can't believe that she is almost two months old. We went to see the ortho doctor this past Friday and Addison no longer has to wear her harness all the time. She upgraded to a new one (thank God - the other was so gross - I wasn't allowed to wash it) and only has to wear it at night for about 8 more weeks. I will be able to wash this one since she only has to wear it at night but its "hand wash/air dry" so the doctor nixed washing the first one. He said her hips are looking great.

She also slept from 9pm last night until 7am this morning. YAY for sleep!

I start school tomorrow so Scott took off work so he could take care of Addi. We start child care on Friday. We visited with lots of friends this past weekend so I'll upload more pictures when I get a chance. I made a video and am going to post it on YouTube...I'll send an email out sharing the private link.
