Addison Update...2 Months Old

We are so lucky to have Addison in our family. It's seems unreal that just 2 short months ago she hadn't joined our family yet. It feels as though she has always been with us...I actually believe that with all my heart. She may not have been with us physically but spiritually she has been with us. She is the sweetest little baby with a calm temperament. It's hard to look or hold this baby without falling in love...It's actually impossible!

Addison had a 2 month checkup a few days ago. She is perfect in every way. She is 10 lbs and 23 inches. She hasn't been the best sleeper and at her doctors appointment we figured out why. Addison has silent acid reflux. She now takes Zantac twice a day. We are on our way to a better nights sleep and a happier nighttime baby.

We love everything about this little baby!

Our Sweet Molly

I just wanted to post a few recent pictures of Molly. She has gotten so big and is so full of life. She has quite the personality. I love her so much!

She is a little sassy pants sometimes, but those moments are quickly forgotten when she comes and gives you sweet kisses for no reason at all. Her new favorite thing is to say "I HATE"......whatever it is that she hates at that time. She does not like it when people bug her, especially her sister. It takes a lot to win this little girl over.

Caillou is her favorite cartoon right now. She sings the Caillou theme song all day long. It's actually pretty cute.

Her blond hair is to die for, I hope it stays this color!

I'd like to think she was a momma's girl, but really, she's a daddy's girl all the way. She's got dad wrapped around her little finger.

She's fearless. She shows up her older sister all the time.




We love our little Molly girl! I can't believe she will be 3 in two short months. I couldn't imagine life without this little girl's cuteness! She is the sunshine in my day, just look at those eyes!

Addison Baby

I feel so bad, I haven't posted many pictures of Addison on this blog. I feel like time is just slipping away from me. Addison is now 7 weeks old and these pictures were taken a few weeks ago. I'm still adjusting to life with 3 kids. I love it, but still trying to figure out balance. Not to mention that Addison has by far, been the worst sleeper out of the 3 girls. Up until this week I was getting about 3-4 hours of sleep TOTAL. She now has turned a corner and will finally get good chunks of sleep. It's amazing the difference between 3 hours of sleep, compared to 5. I really have never know true exhaustion until little Addison came along. You know, the exhaustion that makes you cry.

But, look how cute she is...shes totally worth it!!

Other than her sleep habits...which have taken a turn for the better, she is one sweet baby. She is now starting to smile which melts my heart. I have tons of pictures to post and lots to blog about

Uncle Shaune and the Car Wash

We are so excited to have more family here in this area. I love my family. Uncle Shaune and his family just moved here this last weekend. It's hard for me to even express how very happy this makes me!

One day last week, Uncle Shaune stopped by for a little visit. We already had the hose out for some reason and so Shaune decided to hose down his car from the dusty/dirty car ride from Washington. Little did he know, he was in for one of the biggest water fights...EVER!

The girls had so much fun!

We love you Uncle Shaune and we're glad you're here!

Rewind

When I was nearing the end of pregnancy number 3, my friend Brittney asked if I wanted or needed a baby shower. With it being my 3rd girl I suggested that instead of a "shower", we should just do a girls day. Pedicures, lunch, and good company sounded better than a baby shower...besides, I was all set for another girl! :)

Please excuse the swollen pregnancy feet!

After Pedicures we went to lunch at Chili's. The picture below is some of my very best friends. I hope they know how much I love them and how glad I am to be a part of their lives. I really truly have been blessed with some of the best friends I could ever ask for.

Also, a great sister, sister in law, niece, and yes....that boy is my nephew!

When we got home Molly, Elley, and Briley were a little jealous that we got pedicures and they didn't. So, here we are giving mini pedis to these 3 cute girls!!!

The morning of my scheduled induction I got a call saying the hospital was just to full for me to come in that day. Bummer!! Lucky us got to go swimming instead.

Elley and Molly have proven to be some great swimmers. Molly is fearless which gave us a little scare a few weeks ago when she got into the deep end of a pool with out a life jacket, water wings, or anyone watching. Lucky for us a friend of ours noticed and saved her. We still are not sure how long she was under the water, long enough to give us a huge scare. We are sure thankful that she is still here with us and she's okay. She still loves the water, and is still fearless. Swimming lessons are definitely in our future.

Maggie's Visit

We were so lucky to have Aunt Maggie come and visit us for 2 whole weeks after Addison was born! She is the BEST Auntie and spoiled us all rotten. She was a huge help to me as I was adjusting to life with 3 kids. She made Molly and Elley feel so loved while a whole lot of attention went to Addison. We love and miss her!

While she was here we did lots of fun things. One of them was a trip to the Nature Center. We love that place!!!

I love these cute girls!!

Picnic in the park

Maggie was such a good sport about playing with the girls. She played pretty much any game they would choose. They next 2 pictures was of them playing "camping" in the front yard. They also played "mommy and babies" a lot.

Come back soon Aunt Maggie, and next time bring Uncle Fernando!!!!
