Sitting up!!

My baby girl started sitting up all by herself in the past two days!!! Wow I didn't realize what a big milestone that was until now!!

Also today my baby girl reached for me!!! It made my day!

The Fair

The South MS Fair is a huge deal for Laurel.  The whole town practically shuts down for the week.  They have great food and that's why Josh and I go.  We enjoy socializing and eating.  This year Aunt Laken and Shells Bells went with us.  Aunt Karla met us there.  And later Memaw and Papaw. 



We had a great time as usual.  And Addybug loved the lights.  There was one ride that she starred at for a while.  She, as usual, just hung out and enjoyed looking at everything and everyone.


Next year she gets to ride rides and that will be SO much fun!!! I love the anticipation of all the new and exciting things we get to do now!  Having Addyson is the best thing Josh and I have ever done!


I love this picture of these two!

Our first Car!!


We are only five months old and we have our first car!! And boy is she able to scoot in it already. Josh and I were going to get her the walker for Christmas, but she has one at my moms and Mamaw Barbara's and just loves them.  Therefore we decided to go ahead and get her one now! I am sure we can come up with something else for Santa!! :)  Sorry to make a post just about this car but I got the best picture of her smiling, so I have to post it.  









5 months old

My sweet baby girl is on her 5th month!  I know I say this each month but I can't believe it!! Time is just flying by.  She is growing and changing so much.  And the past two weeks it seems she has changed from my sweet baby girl to a big girl.




  We finally rolled over from our tummy to our back a couple weeks ago.  And Aunt Laken got to see her!!  She has within the past few days just started sitting up by herself and recognizes and wants to play with Chaser.  She has tried to grab his hair a couple times, but we got it cut off so there isn't much to grab.  We are finally in size 2 diapers and most of the 3 month clothes are getting too small.  3-6 month fits the best but they seem to be hard to find.  We laugh and play all the time.  I love coming home to her and she has the biggest grin when she finally quits playing with her toys to see I am there. 



We eat half of a vegetable every night and we have discovered she doesn't like peas.  She did very well with the green beans.  And she seems to like squash and sweet potatoes.  That's the only veggies we have gotten so far.  She is finally understanding the concept that eating from a spoon will fill her tummy just like the bottle does. 



This past weekend Addy learned to holler.  And boy does she ever use that to her advantage.  We are in trouble already.  But its so much fun to hear her do it.  She is just growing and learning something new all the time.  Its so much fun to see her develop from day to day. 


Love Love Love these two!!!

















Her newest favorite thing is to get under the changing pad in the pack n play and lift it with her legs.  I walked in Sunday night after she was suppose to be asleep and watched her lift it and then she would giggle.  It was so sweet. The problem is we have started to fight our sleep terribly!! So that changing pad on her bed gives her one more distraction from going to sleep.  Therefore I see it coming out pretty quick like. Also another thing she has started when she gets sleepy is she scratches whatever she can.  I am not sure if she likes the sound or just the feel of the fabric. 








(Since Leah is not keeping up with her blog very well.. I wanted to note that my sweet Hunter man started crawling this past week.  And its absolutely adorable.)

Lady Bug Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween this year!!! Meet our little lady bug.


Addy and Papa



 
I must say she was the cutest little lady bug ever!! :)   I may be just a little biased.


Sunday night we went to our church's festival and trunk or treat.  We had a good time and there was a ton of people there. 

Our Little Family at Trunk or Treat

Then Monday night we went with Danielle, BJ, Leslie, Harley, Hayden, Cambrea, and Hunter to Shelton's festival! And then we went to see Grandmother.  Harley was a cheerleader, Hayden was a football player, and baby Hunter was their football! Danielle always has the best ideas for them!



Hayden, Hunter, Harley, Addy, and Cambrea
Thanks for letting us tag along!
Addy and Grandmother

 
Needless to say our first halloween was lots of fun. We didn't get much candy because this momma would eat all of it and I don't need it at all!














Meet Jackson!!!

We got to meet Mr. Jackson!!! He was born on Oct. 13th.  He was 7 lbs 4ozs and 19 and 1/2 inches long.  He is so sweet and handsome and I know he will bring lots and lots of joy to Jackolynn, Chris, Emily, and Cynsleigh!  We are so happy for you guys!  We can't wait for Addyson and Jackson to grow up together and be super close cousins! 





He smiles all the time!! Isn't that just the cutest!! :)
