We are 4 months old!!!

We are now 4 months old!!! And boy has it been a busy busy month.  We were in a beauty pageant, we went to our first USM football game, we went to see Harley cheer and Hayden play football, Uncle B came home, she became a shed head, went to another wedding, .. Wow I am exhausted just thinking about all we did last month.  LOL..

Here is my 4 month picture

I am beginning to like my bouncey seat.

Addy has grown so much over the last few weeks.  She has found her feet, and she loves to play with them.  We moved on to size 2 diapers.  We can still wear some 0-3 outfits, but the 3 month fit the best.  3-6 month outfits are still a little big.  We have a problem finding shoes too.  She is in between newborn shoes and size 2 shoes.  And I can't find any in between.  She is so much more alert now and slobbers all the time.  We are also chewing on just about anything.  Unfortunatly she has started fighting her sleep, so nights aren't always the most peaceful around here.  She also loves to sit in her bumbo seat.  Last month she liked to play on her mat, but the past few weeks she would rather be sitting in her seat.  We love our toys and play with them all the time.  She is still a morning person and once we wake her up she gets the biggest grin when either I or her daddy start talking to her.  It starts my day off right!

This is what we do in the bath tub now. We sit up and chew on the side.

Here is my first beauty pageant.

She is trying to hold her bottle.  She kinda knows what to do, but we have a little way to go.

WARNING WARNING... PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!

Here is a bunch of random pictures from Addy's 4th month.

This is Gran Gran and Addy (Addy's great grandmother)

Here is my Harley girl!! Cheering her brother on in football.

She gets prettier by the second and my love continues to grow that much more for her! She is the mostest awesomest little girl ever!!! :)

We had our four month check up Friday!!! Where has time gone???

She did fabulous and passed with flying colors!  Dr. S asked if she was trying to start rolling over and I kinda looked at him a little funny and said (as you know if you have read the blog before) "we have been flipping like a fish for a while now!" He was kinda shocked.  His next question was is she showing any interest in toys, and of course the answer to that was also we LOVE our toys and play with them all the time!!! I made the statement she was trying to start sitting up and they were really shocked.  They thought I was crazy until they were examining her and said "wow she is trying to sit up." 

She weighed in at a whopping 14 lbs and 12 ozs (70%) she was 25 7/8 inches long (90%) and her poor little head is 16 inches (30%).

We get to start eating from a spoon!!! YAY!!!!  I have been so excited about starting baby food for a while now!  He wanted us to start rice cereal first (whoops we started that in our bottle a couple months ago) and I didn't want to wait till I got home, so we went straight to Target and bought some rice cereal and baby food and then went straight to Nana's and started eating... I think I had way more fun than Addy.  She actually did rather well Friday.  See....


But Saturday we didn't do so well and had it all over me, her, the bumbo seat, and the kitchen counter.  Sunday was a little better, but by Monday we had this down pat.

Its amazing watching her eat.  I take for granted that we know when we eat our belly's get full.  She doesn't understand that yet and I never realized that before she really needs the nutrients from baby food she has to "learn" how to eat.  I love being responsible for teaching her all these new concepts that we all take for granted.  This journey of motherhood is way more awesome than I ever expected! 

We didn't do as well with our shots this week. We broke out into a little rash on her face, stomach and back and we were rather fussy Friday night and Saturday.  But by Sunday we were in the best mood and had a great day!

This is my first bite!!! (Besides what papa has snuck in my mouth)

This is day 2 of eating from our spoon!

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch in collins/seminary with Aunt Karla, Bre Bre, and Shells Bells.  We had a good time until the weather warmed up and Addybug got a little to hot.  She got her shots Friday and had a small rash and the sun brought that rash back out and she just didnt feel good from them.  But we got some great pictures!!  Next year she will be old enough to really enjoy the pumpkin patch and play on all the fun toys.

I am so excited about this picture.  Its our goal every year to take a picture by this sign and see how much she has grown from year to year!!!

Me and Addybug!

This is Addy and Bre Bre.  I love love love love this picture.  Notice Addy's smile. 

Whew!!

Last night we had a rough night.  We have had a cold over the past few days and started running fever last night for the first time.  It was 100.7.  :(  Not only did we have a rough night because of that, but momma let Addy bump her head and get her first boo boo.  SSSSSHHHHH!!!! Don't tell Daddy he doesn't know. ha ha.  We are much better tonight.  Still have a small fever, but still smiling and laughing. 

Day at the park!

Josh, Addy and I went to meet Dacia, Todd, and Madison this past weekend on the coast.  While the boys went to play golf we went to a little park in Gulfport and had a great time! At the park Addy swung by herself for the first time and we slid!



She loved to swing!



Addy and Madison Sliding....



This is what we do in the bathtub now.  We sit up and try to chew on the side.

We met Ms. Preslee Kate!  She was born June 2nd and is such a precious little girl! She is a little trooper and has the prettiest blue eyes!  Thanks for letting us come play! We can't wait to come back .


Sunday night I was trying to get bottles and clothes washed and just get ready for Monday to be here.  And so when Addy went to sleep I put her in her pack in play beside my bed while I was in the kitchen and living.  All of a sudden she burst out crying so loud.  I walked in the room and said "whats the matter sweet girl" and she started belly laughing so hard.  It was the sweetest thing.  We played this game for a while.  She was even screaming so loud at one point Josh came down to see why she was crying and she did the exact same thing to him.  I think we are a little young to demand all this attention. ha ha.. But we love it and give her all the attention she wants.  Even if it means Monday's get off to a rocky start because mom doesn't get everything together the night before.  :)

First Outing

September was a busy month for weddings.  But one of our favorite's got married on Sept. 17th.  This was also mine and Josh's first "outing" without Addy  since she has been born.  We have left her a couple of times but not for a planned outing.  And who did we go with??? None other than our favorites!! Chris and Kim.  Yes they came home just for the wedding and we had a fabulous time!  There is a good story behind it too.  To bad I didn't get pictures of the whole process, but lets just say due to the fact that Addy was only 3 months old at the time.  I seem to forget that all my clothes didn't fit and we had a slight wardrobe malfunction before and during the wedding.  But it all worked out, and here is the final product!!

We had a great time and Margaret was beautiful!!! Congrats Margaret and Adam! We love you guys!

This was a busy weekend. Since Chris and Kim were home we had to fit everyone in and we just tag along with them!  This is one of my favorite pics of Addy.  She was looking at Chris and smiling!

Love you guys! And look how natural you too look. :)   (I may get in trouble for that comment. ha ha)

Emily and Cynsleigh also had a birthday party this weekend! I love you two girls! Hope you had fun at Laser Tag!
They are growing up so fast.  When I joined the family Cynsleigh was only about 3 years old.  And now she is 11! Its hard to believe she has grown so much so fast.  And sweet Emily is already 7!!!! Wow where has time gone. 

Aren't I the cutest thing ever!



Nanny also had a very special B-day request while Chris and Kim were home!! So we all went to eat and as she but it "all her family was there so she couldn't be any happier!"  We hope you had a very very good birthday nanny.  We love  you very much.  Thanks for all the love you give us!



SMTTT!!!!

Our little cheerleader went to her first football game!! She did so good.  We went to the USM vs Rice game last weekend.  And we won... YAY!!!

Here is our little cheerleader! She has the cutest little outfit from a high school friend of mine! Steph we love it!

She was paying attention to the field.  She was amazed. 

Here we had to have a quick nap during the game.  (Yes she can sleep through all the noise)

Here is our little family.  (Minus Chaser :(  )

I love being able to take Addyson everywhere we go! She is still such a good little girl and just goes along with the flow.  As long as we feed her when she is hungry she is willing to just tag along with us on all our little outings.
