Addison 7 Months Old

I can't believe this little girl is 7 months. Addie has such a sweet demeanor.  I know I said this last time but her smile melts my heart.  Addie is loving food.  She is starting to pick up little puffs and put them in her mouth.  She likes to drink from a sippy cup but tends to chew on it instead of suck.  Addie is such a big girl now sitting up on her own.  She seems to like this new view of the world.  I think the dog likes it more because know they are on the same level and he likes to lick her face!! Addie is not so sure about the licking part but she keeps her eye on the dog for sure.  Addie is our social butterfly and loves to hear the sound of her voice.  My favorite time is riding in the car with her and Jace and listening to her talk to him.  She practically leans up in her car seat just so she can get a good look at him while she is talking.  Addie loves Jace and likes when he blows on her belly.  Jace can be found with her in her crib blowing on her tummy.  Addie likes her crib and finds it funny when we hide and play peak a boo with her.  Addie loves music and likes when we sing to her.  I think her favorite is when Jace sings "You are my sunshine" It is so cute!! Addie has no teeth but is chewing on everything.  There is yet to be any rolling over and tummy time is not her favorite.  She really is content laying back and watching the world around her.  Her neck is getting stronger and I have noticed at times she holds it nice and straight so progress makes me happy.  All is well with this little girl.  Love love love this kid.

I love having the title of mother

I am so honored  and blessed to call myself a mother.  Just taking a moment to reflect on all the blessings that have come from these 2 sweet angles.....

Addison is 6 Months old

My sweet little Addie turned six months old and my how fast time goes.  I feel like she should only be 2 months old and my brain can't wrap around the fact that she is eating real food.  Addison has a little Torticollis as you can see in this picture.  Torticollis is tight muscles of the neck.  The doctor said it was because she was in a small space and stayed in the same position for my entire pregnancy.  We are going to have her evaluated by a stride but the doctor stated it was not a big deal and with a little therapy those muscles will relax.  Addison is saying "ma ma" and has the biggest sweetest smile ever.  One look at her smile and my whole world is just bliss.  The Lord definitely knew I needed a sweet angel.  I must say both Addie and Jace make my life blissful.  Addison will roll to her side and roll from her tummy to her back but if she is on her tummy she tends to scream and yell. Addie also sits with some support and likes the view she gets while sitting.  Addison tends to cry when I leave her.  She is also a snuggler and oh my how I love her nuzzles.  When Addie is excited she lets out a light scream and if you are holding her she jumps up and down.  As of yet she has no teeth but she is drooling like none other.  Food is fun for this little girl.  She is more interested in the food I am eating then the food that comes in the jars. Addie likes avocado, banana , noodles, tortilla, and cucumber just to list a few of her favorites.  I love this little girl she is such a joy.

Jace 3 year pictures.

 

Here are a few pictures of Jace for his 3 year pictures.  I love this little man he is so handsome and has such a fun loving personality.

Addison is 5 months old.

Addison is 5 months old as of the 20th of May!! She is reaching some fun milestones such as rolling over on her side.  She has not quit mastered rolling all the way over onto her tummy but she is definitely moving towards that first big roll.  She had her first big belly laugh on May 24th which was a result of Jace jumping on the couch and me holding her doing the jumping motion.  This little girl is full of smiles.  She smiles at everyone and let me just say it is not just a smirk but yet a full face from the bottom of her heart smile that will melt your heart.  We started some rice cereal and bananas.  Addie loves food when you take the spoon away she grunts and opens her mouth.  If that does not do the trick to get more food she then starts kicking her legs!! Did I mention she loves to move those legs and arms.  Anytime I am holding her face out (so she can see the world) those legs and arms are moving super fast like she is just ready to take on the world.  This girl loves to snuggle and enjoys grabbing at anything she can get her hands on.  Love being blessed with this precious little girl.

A little boy who loves snacks and going without pants.

Jace is such a snacker!! He eats a few bites of meals and then 5 min later states he needs a snack.  Jace weighed 35 pounds at his 3 year check up and the doctor said he was in the 50th percentile for weight.  Let me just say he is heavy and this little or not so little guy likes to be held! Now lets talk about the pants.  I swear anytime we have friends over or we go to a friends house Jace decides to take his pants off.  Why well I am not totally sure?  My thoughts are that he likes to show of his underwear since he is potty trained or that he still struggles to get his pants up because sometimes he forgets to unbutton them.  If you ask Jace why he took his pants of he would tell you and I quote "because I did".  He has really turned into a little man with his own opinions.  It has become more challenging for me to convince him that he should do what I ask that included wearing pants which if you see the picture I am not in control of the situation.  Since we are on the subject of pants I will share a short little story: I was putting Addie to bed and Dan was doing some project around the house well I came to see Jace and I could not find him.  I thought that's weird.  I thought I should check outside being that Jace has discovered how to open and unlock doors.  Well guess what I found? I found a little boy with his pants down peeing in the yard! Again I asked why are you peeing in the yard and this was his reply " because it is cool mom see" Yes I see!   Gotta love boys especially my so very sweet one!

Addison is 4 months old

This is a little late but I came down with a nasty head cold and have been a little slow to get things done.  Little Addie turned 4 months old on April 20th.  She is moving along in her development of this beautiful world we live in.  She loves chewing on her hands and tends to have lots of drool while she is chewing on them.  She is starting to like being on her tummy for short periods of time but still likes to be on her back kicking her legs or trying to grab her feet.  Addie is still on the small side weighing a whole 12lbs.  She is still wearing 0-3 month clothes and is just now being able to wear some 3-6 months stuff.  She only has one pair of shoes that she can wear and they are size newborn.  I promise she has chunk she is just petite.  She must get that from Dan!  He won't like that I said that but lets admit he is a little guy.  Sorry I am getting off on tangents this is about this precious little girl.  Addie has decided that she likes to be wide awake at about 2am and she does not cry she just sings to herself.  It is so cute yet so naughty!  Addie is grabbing toys and she tries to put them in her  mouth.  She also likes to smile at everyone.  We have yet to make her lough out loud but she is starting to groan like she is going to.  Jace is her little buddy she loves when he plays with her and I think he will be the one to get that big belly laugh out of her!! I am loving having a little girl and loving being a mom.  Love you little turkey lou.
