We have smiles

As of last week Addison has officially started smiling when you talk to her!! More pictures to come I promise. Happy Leap year=)

Addison is 2 months old!!

Addison is 2 months old she is weighing in at 9lbs 12 oz. She is a very calm baby. The only time she cries is when she is tired or hungry. At this point she really likes watching all the craziness that takes place on a daily basis. She is not a fan of being on her tummy and still fights sleep. I have found that holding her and walking around soothes her enough to put her down for a nice long snooze. Addison loves her bink but is still learning how to keep it in her mouth. I know she loves her bink because when it falls out of her mouth she cries for someone to come put it back in. She is beginning to smile , you have to smile really big at her and then she smiles back. She loves her brother. When she is awake her eyes seem to stay glued on him. When she sees her dad it seems her eyes get really big!! In my opinion she is trying to figure him out because he likes to make funny noises at her or tickle her face with his stubble. Addison is a precious little girl. How blessed this family is to have her in our lives.

Valentines Day

Here are a few pics of the kids. I tried to do a cute Valentines photo but Jace did not want to put on the cute shirt I had for him and was to busy playing that he really would not sit for a picture. We just hung out for Valentines day. I got to spend the day with my two favorite loves of all and then in the evening when kids were in bed I spent some time with my first love and made chicken enchiladas and we watch some recorded shows. I love just hanging out so for me it was a wonderful way to spend the holiday of love.

Our start to February

Well where to start.. Lets see February started good for us. We had a wonderful snow storm and come to think of it we have had snow a lot in the last few days. Last Sunday we noticed that Addison had what seemed to be a little cold. She was coughing and sneezing and seemed to be having trouble breathing. On Monday the cold seemed worse and I spent most of that day trying to make her comfortable. I was feeling bad for Jace because he was feeling left out due to all the attention Addie was getting. Jace loves bubbles so to help him feel loved we went and played bubble warriors!! Jace was having so much fun. Monday night was rough Addie would not eat she slept thru the night but mom did not. I was up every two hours trying to make sure my little girl was okay. The only noise Addie would make was her big adult cough and sneezing that literally shakes her whole body. Tuesday morning I had enough and decided to follow my mom instincts and take her in to the doctor. The doctor took one look and listen to her and said we would have to be admitted to the hospital to have her monitored since she had not eaten and was very lethargic, as well as her lungs were coarse and her oxygen was low. Talk about stressful. We ended up spending 5 days at the hospital due to RSV. Friday we were sent home for about 3 hours only to be readmitted due to low oxygen. Addie had to have an IV which was placed in her head because all the other five spots they tried kept blowing out. Thanks to prayers, great friends, and wonderful nursing staff we made it thru and today we found out that Addie no longer needed the oxygen that she was sent home with. I am so grateful that our bodies heal and that Addie is little enough to not remember any of the torture she had to endure. One last thing Addie is starting to smile =) We are blessed, we are home and we are happy. What a crazy start to February.
