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!!

Nap time

Hmmm, guess I missed the part about it being nap time!!

2 months!

Addison is 2 months old today! She weighed in at 11 pounds 6 ounces. Last time I tried to get her length, it was 23 inches. Not sure how accurate that one is, but I did my best. Here is a pic from her today in her Noah's Arcade onesie!

GAS

The other night poor Addie had terrible gas. She was crying all night!! She either spent the night way up on my shoulder (so her lower belly would get pressure) or on her back with her knees held up to her chest. When we went up to bed, Drew decided one way to help with the pressure, was for her to do situps. Here is a pic of her sit up. Look at those big cheeks and eyes!!

Happy Easter!

Addie celebrated her first Easter with TONS of family!! There were 17 of us at brunch! The Deal's, Manning's, Grossman's and Raudaskoski's all went to brunch on Sunday afternoon. We started with some egg dying and an egg hunt where cousin Kami found all of the eggs. Addie would have found some if she were awake during it all. And Derek would have found more if Kami didn't run and get them all. :) It was nice to have a lot of family around to celebrate with. And the weather was absolutely beautiful! It was in the low 80's. Gotta love San Diego.

Smile!!

Addie had her first non gas smile the other day!! After a long day at Disneyland, the three of us were sitting on the green couch and Addie smiled for the first time. It was so fortunate that both of us were together for one of her "firsts". I know we won't be able to witness many, if any, her "firsts" together, so it was really cool that we got this one.

She now smiles ALL the time. I love it!!

Madi and Addie

I went over to Sarah's house to have a ladies afternoon. Kelli, Sarah, Madi, Addie and I got to hang out all afternoon!! We were able to take some cute pics of the two of them. They are about 3 weeks apart in age, and what a difference that makes when you are not even 2 months old yet. I already can't remember what it was like when Addie was as big as Madi in these pics. I think the two of them look SO cute together!! And can't wait for them to have many more play dates. It will be so fun to watch them grow up together, and have a friend so close in age ... but there will be trouble when they are fighting over boyfriend Calvin!!

6 weeks

Where has the time gone?!? Addie is already 6 weeks old! I can't believe it. She will be driving before we know it. ;) She weighed in yesterday at 10 lbs 10 ounces. As you can tell, she is a healthy, growing girl. We are having so much fun with her. She still sleeps most of the time, and a lot at night, which lets us sleep pretty well. Unfiortunately, her fussy time is around 5:00-6:00pm (which is true for most babies), and that is when daddy is home. She should grow out of that in another 6 weeks, so the internet says.

In the past six weeks ... Addie has already been to Disneyland twice. She has slept for around 7 hours a few nights already (WHooo hoooo!). She has had many baths now. She has already met her future boyfriend, Calvin and her soon to be BFF, Madison. She has been to many restaurants around town, and even a trip to the lovely Home Depot. She has been to daddy's work. She has had many visitors. She has even had her first SMILE!!!

She is just as precious as can be. And we love her very much. Her big sis Dion loves to give her doggie kisses on her head, and sniff her dirty diapers. Just hope she doesn't actually get into one.

Thanks so much for all the gifts, dinner and well wishes you have all sent us. They are very much appreciated. And for those that haven't met her yet, we can't wait for you to do so.
