Addison Is 3 Months Old

I can't believe how fast time goes when you have little ones. You always get the advice to "enjoy every moment because it goes fast" and honestly 3 years ago I would have called your bluff !! Now I am the one wishing time would stand still for a moment. Addison is such a joy! She is a very calm baby who really only fusses when she is tired or hungry. She has discovered her hands and likes to put them in her mouth. She tends to suck on the top of her hand and her sucking is very loud!! She also continues to smile and is more aware of the world around her. She never sleeps when you really need her to or think she should. It has amazed me that even at such a very young age she is a girl who knows what she wants. Her clothes that were once to big are starting to fit which is expanding her wardrobe. Shoes don't stay on her feet, but we have found some really cute socks that stay on those cute little feet of hers. She is learning to love tummy time and has even taken a liking to the bumbo chair. Addie has started to coo more and say oh and ah which is so cute. I love how she fake coughs and then says "oh" it is precious. Addison we love you very much. Jace loves you and can't wait for you to chase after him. I look forward to this journey but am enjoying every moment with my family.

Our Fun Filled Weekend...Not

Last week was a little crazy!! It started out just fine with the beautiful weather and then Wednesday night Jace woke up with a 104 temperature. Needless to say we have spent the last few days trying to get him well and recovered. He was so sad being sick. I took him in to the doctor and he told everyone that he not feel good. He ended up getting on antibiotic and finally today he is back to normal..with a little tiny cough left over. Man colds are nasty!!! So far Addie is doing well. It has been hard work keeping her from Jace and his cold. Here are a few pics of the kiddos this past week. Love Love my little family. Happy Spring.

A weekend of warmth

This weekend I was home with the kids for the first time by myself. I was a little nervous I must admit but I was pleasantly surprised at how far I have come in the past 3 months to adapting to 2 children. The weather was so beautiful this weekend that we spent most of our days outside. Saturday it was 67 degrees with hardly a breeze. You could tell that everyone in Cheyenne needed this warmth because the park was crowded almost to the point of chaos. We as in Jace , Addie, myself and some friends enjoyed walking around the park. Jace road his bike which is red and he thinks it is lightening McQueen. At one point while riding his bike he was getting frustrated he shouted out "oh coconuts" I was beside myself with laughter. We spent much of our evenings watching movies and yes I must admit we went to bed every night at 7:30. Sunday we got up and I decided if single moms can get to church so could I. The only problem I had was getting Jace dressed you will see in the above picture that he was no happy with what I had him wear. Church was a success Jace went to nursery and I got to enjoy all 3 hours of church. I am thinking this type of easy weekend by myself will never happen again. It was hard to report back to Dan that the weekend went well because I am afraid he will think that I am "good" at doing the parenting thing all by myself. Which I can but its always nice to have a partner in crime. I am so getting into the swing of things and am feeling normal again since having sweet Addie. Life is good. I continue to be grateful for all our wonderful friends and family who are always there for us and support us.

Addisons 2 month check up..

Addison all tuckered out after shots

Well today we had our 2 month well child check up as well as our first round of shots.. Addie is 10 weeks old and she weighed 10lbs 6oz and was 22 inches long. She is in the 25 percentile in both weight and height. Shots went fine she screamed the whole time and continued to scream for about an hour after we arrived home. Her initial cries after the first shot were so sad she would cry and then hold her breath for a moment and then cry some more. It is always so hard to watch your little ones get shots. Just a little update on Addison not much has changed since but she is turning into a little ham. All you have to do is talk to her and she lights up. Tummy time is still not her favorite but she is getting better at being on her tummy. She still fights sleep mostly during the day and evenings are her time to be fussy. I love this little girl. I am finding that the second time around is much easier and the little things that once were big things are now so much easier to handle. I am so thankful I get to call myself a mother, and am enjoying all the ups and downs of having a precious little girl.
