2 peas in ... car seats!

We went to the Lush house for a BBQ on Friday night. Something wasn't right with poor Addie, and after crying for an hour, passed out in the bedroom. She slept the entire night and didn't even get to hang out! Here she is on the way out though with her BF Madison. Madison was at the party all night, so she is crashed in the pic and Addison is wide awake!
Here they are in their matching car seats, pacifiers, and blankets!

Zoo Day

Addie and Madi had another outing together ... the ZOO! I don't know if either of them were awake at all, but Sarah and I had fun walking and talking. We went to lunch afterwards where 3 older women asked if they were twins. Sarah replied "No, different moms, and they are 3 weeks apart". Sarah later jokingly asked me, I wonder if they thought they had the same dad!?! Then they asked their names ... "Addison and Madison" Sarah replied. It was pretty funny!! Anyways, here they are again in their car seats, this time without pacifiers, but again Madison is sleeping and Addison is awake.

Day with the Cousins

Addison also got to hang out with her cousins on Thursday. Here are a few pics of Kami "playing" with Addison and giving her kisses!! I think she loves her baby cousin. Derek isn't into her too much right now, but he does like to sit near her! I know he loves his baby cousin too.

Reading

Addison is reading already!! ;)

Dion kisses

Big sis Dion loves Addie! And since her shirt said "I love kisses", Dion was happy to oblige.

I love my hand ...

Not only does Addie love to stare at her hands, but she loves to suck on them.

I'm cute!!

Meg - look at her shirt!!!



"I'm cute." "You can't say that"
Viv remains!

Sleepy Head

Just a picture of her sleeping in her froggie jammies!

Bathing Suit

Addie has her suit on and is ready for the pool! Too bad she didn't get to go in this time. No diapered kids allowed in our pool. :( But she'll be ready for the next time she goes to Mummu and Grandad's!!

Swimming & Visiting with Cousins

This past weekend we went up to LA to attend a ND fund raising event where Maggie Dixon was honored. It was a nice evening and great to catch up my high school girls. I definitely do not see them enough. My parents were so helpful in baby sitting Addison that night. And not only that, but they had Jen and Keith's kids. With 3 kids, and 4 dogs, it was a full house! But a fun weekend, and fun to see the kids "play" together.

Here is Addie's first swim in a pool! She seemed to like it. Hopefully she will love swimming as much as her mom did.




Here is some quality time with the cousins. Kami wanted to hold Addison and when Addison held her hand she said "I think she loves me because she is holding my hand". It was so sweet! And then Derek wanted to climb up too and gave her a kiss!!

New bedding!!

Thanks to Jim and Linda for the new bedding for Addison!!

Tummy time

We try to work on tummy time a little bit every day. She usually falls right asleep when I put her down, but this time she finally stayed awake!



Here is the sleepy tummy time

Thanks Unlce Adam

I love my new bib!! And it looks pretty cute on me. Look!

Dinner

Here are some pics Addie being bottle fed. Guess Dion was feeling a bit left out! She curled up on the chair with us and fell asleep.

Outside

We sat outside the other night to enjoy our backyard. We brought Addie out to join us and she seemed to really like it! Being a mom though, I had to make sure she was bundled up. Here she is smiling to Drew in her cool Kings beanie.

Shots - Ouch!

Addison had her 2 month appointment last week. And that means she had her first round of shots. I think I was more scared then she was! She did pretty well. However, when the needle touched her leg, her face turned the brightest red I have ever seen and she immediately started wailing. It was so sad. :( Right after the nurse was done, I got her to stop crying though. And she got some pretty cool Peanuts bandaids on the shot spot. After the shots I was worried she might be fussy for a few days, but what do you know ... she just slept the entire next day. Guess it wore her out. Everything else checked out perfectly! She weighs 11 lbs 13 ounces (75%) and she is 22.5 inches (50%).

Here are some pictures of her cool bandaids!

Go Kings Go!!

Another family outing! Addie had her first limo ride and first live sporting event, a hockey game. Most of the CA family went to a Kings Hockey game the other weekend. It was a fun, FUN time, but the Kings go their butts kicked. I think the final score was 2 to 7. Ouch! Not that it mattered. They are in last place anyways, and with only a few games left, this one really did not matter. But that is OK since none of us watched the game. We got a suite at the game!! Which was good for us so we had room for all of Addie's stuff. As those with kids know, you never travel light anymore. I think she slept through most of the game, but that is pretty typical of her. She has done more in her two months of life, then I have in 30! Too bad (or good) she sleeps through it all. Here are some pics!!
