Addison's 9 Month Check up

This past week Addison had her 9 month check up. She is doing great, she weighs 19 lbs 0 oz, and is 27 1/4" tall. She is in the 50% for both weight and height. She has done such a great job catching up seeing she was so small at the beginning. She was rather funny tearing up all the table paper at the doctor's office and then sharing it with the doctor. At the end of the appointment they had to do some routine blood work to test for lead and her iron levels as well as a flu shot. She didn't cry at all, just yelled at the nurse. She is such a tough little girl.

Well, we were going through a bout of Addison waking up in the middle of the night for probably a month and a half. It was a long 1 1/2 months!!! We decided to move her out of the nursery which is right next door to our room and put her in her own big girl room. It's been almost a week and Addison hasn't woken up at all during the night. She must have been hearing us tossing and turning through the night and it was waking her up. Now we are all much happier in the morning :o)

I went for a check up for baby #2, and everything is looking great! He/she has a nice strong heart beat, and we will be having our ultrasound at the next visit in mid-Novemeber. Sean and I have decided to find out the sex of this baby and hopefully he/she isn't as stubborn as their big sister! (Addison crossed her legs so we couldn't find out). This pregnancy has been going really well. I am tired all the time, which with Addison it had ended shortly after the first trimester, but I am guessing that I am just tired from chasing Addison around while being pregnant. I am feeling huge already, not that I have gained much weight, just seems that I have popped out sooner than I have before.

Big News!

Well, Addison has been a very busy girl! A couple of weeks ago we went apple picking, she loved riding on the tractor ride and sitting under the apple trees chewing on apples. We had such a good time that we went last weekend as well with a couple of her little friends, and with Mom and Dad's friends. Within the past month she has became very fast at crawling, can climb stairs, can pull herself up to stand and can walk holding onto things. She has also learned to clap, which is funny while she is watching tv and people on tv start clapping, she will too. She has grown so much, it still amazes me how much they learn in such a short time. She is an amazing little girl.



So the big news is......... Addison is going to be a big sister! We are expecting baby #2 on March 27, 2010. This pregnancy was a surprise just like Addison, but Sean and I are so happy and excited for the little one to arrive! Everything with the baby looks great, I had an ultrasound this week and he/she appears to be healthy. I have been feeling great, a little tired, but luckily no morning sickness (I don't know how I ended up so lucky without having morning sickness for 2 pregnancies).

We'll keep everyone posted with new Addison updates and updates on the pregnancy!

Summer

Hi everyone, it has been a while since I have posted anything. I have been pretty busy at my new jobs and trying to spend as much time as I can with Addison when I get home. Addison has been doing great since I started back to work. Grammie comes to the house 4 days a week and watches Addison for us, and she loves spending time with her Grammie. Starting in Sept I will only be working 3 days a week, which will be nice. Well, Addison learned how to crawl this past week and her 3rd tooth has come in, the 4th is close behind. She is on the move, it is so unbelievable how fast they learn to do things, within 2 days she could move across the entire house. We have been pretty busy with her friend's 1st birthday parties, swimming at the beach and in Grammie's pool, and she has discovered that she loves popsicles! She's growing up fast and has such a great personality. Here are some pictures, and I will write more again soon.

Summertime FUN!

Addison and I have had a great past couple of days. The sun is finally out and is feeling more like July! We have had plenty to do, and I have been trying to have as much fun with her as possible this week because I start my new job on Monday. It's going to be hard going back to work and missing her all day long. I am sure it will get easier with time, but this week is going to be the hardest. So the past week, we went to Tara's house and played on the beach and to Grammie's pool. The water was chilly at both places but it didn't seem to phase her in the least. She loves the water! Addison went on her swing for the first time, big smiles the entire time! She also has her two bottom front teeth and she loves to brush them! Check out the pictures, and I am sure I will be writing later this week after her 6 month check up. Sean will be taking her seeing that I will be working, I am bummed about that just because I like to be at her check ups, I will have to send a list with him of questions I have, lol. Take care everyone!

It's been a while

It's been a while since I last blogged. Addison is doing great, she is about 5 and a half months old! Within the past month she has learned how to sit on her own, roll over from her back to belly, and today she has cut her first tooth! It's been a very busy month for her, and she has developed quite the personality. She is sleeping through the night, she goes to bed around 7:30 or 8:00 and then will sleep until 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. She is such a good little girl! This month we had to make an extra trip to the doctors because she keeps vomiting/spitting up with every feeding. I was a little concerned, but she isn't in any pain and she is gaining weight appropriately, so we are just going to wait and see if things get better. As of last week Addison is 14 lbs 14 oz and 24.75 " tall.

Last weekend we went to the beach with Grammie, Grampa, Uncle Seth, Amy, Dylan and Arianna. Addison loves watching the waves and playing (and eating) the sand. I have posted some pictures above. I am sure I will be updating again in a couple of weeks.

Beach 5/23/09

Addison and Mommy went to the beach yesterday to visit with Dena and her family. This was Addison's first time to the beach and she loved it! We sat her in the sand and she liked picking up the sand and letting it run through her fingers. I think we will spend many more days this summer at the beach as long as Dena's grandparents don't mind. I have added a couple of pictures and a video!

This week we also had a play date with Chrissy and Danica, Steph and Tucker! Here is a picture of Addison and Dani!

Easter 2009

Addison, Tasha and Sebastian. For some of you that don't know, we had to put Sebastian to sleep this week. We are lost without him, but he lived a great life of 16.5 years. RIP Sebastian

Hi everyone. Today we went to the doctor's for Addison's 4 month check up. She is doing great! She now weighs 13 lbs 5 oz and is 23.5" long. I can't believe how far she has come with her weight and is looking much healthier now. She is definitely getting some thigh chunk and some chubby cheeks. The doctor said we can start her on rice cereal this month so it oughta be interesting. Addison is developing her own personality and is such a happy baby. She is laughing a lot when Mom and Dad are acting silly, and loves to play in her exersaucer with all of her toys. She gets quite frustrated because they are all attached and right now she can't reach them to her mouth, so I have to put other toys on the tray so she can chew on them. We celebrated Easter with Mom's family last weekend and had fun coloring eggs. She met Grummie for the first time and had fun with her Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents. Here are some latest pictures, I hope you all enjoy!
