2 Month Check-up

Addison had her 2 month check up and shots yesterday. She did well considering she was poked 4 times with a needle. I couldn't help but laugh a little at her reation, I must be a terrible mother, it was just so cute. Then again just about everything she does is cute. She is 11# 9oz and 23in long. Her limbs are chuby with rolling hill but her stomache is fairly slim. She looks very good in her sleek little outfits. John hates her dresses because he feels like she is going to slip out of his hands. She is also getting very strong. She can hold her head up without too much bobby, and she has a right hook that cames out of nowhere. I can't wait to find out what her personality is going to be like.

Pictures!

Just some fun pictures I have taken lately.

Addison's Blessing

On the 6th we gave Addison her blessing. John did a great job and it was very sweet. It was nice to have mom and dad there. John's mom even came, Here are a few pictures from the event. I really like the last were she's smiling.

Happy New Year!

The Holidays were fun for us. On Christmas Eve we delivered goodie bags to some of our friends. We would have caroled but both sing poorly, so we spared everyone from that. We spent Christmas morning with John's parents doing our traditional breakfast. We then spent the rest of the day watching all of our new movies. It's kind of hard to get motivated to go out in the snow with a little one. I had my first white Christmas this year. It snowed the weekend before and wasn't quite warm enough to melt it all away. But Christmas day was around 40 degrees, and a beautiful day.

A group of our friends went bowling with us for new years eve. It was fun and John spanked us all, though some of the guys gave him a run for his money after the first game. I just enjoy spending time with people in smaller groups like that. It is somuch easier to get to know them.

Wednesday was my first day back to work. It was different leaving Addison with someone else, but it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Being back it almost feels like nothing has changed. I don't know yet if I like that.

1 Month Checkup

Addison is growing fast!! We had her 1 month check up Wednesday and she is doing well at 9lb 11oz and 21 1/2 in. long. She is just about average across the board. She has been smiling lately, and more than just the gassy kind. She also laughs in her sleep sometimes, though it is more like a laugh/sigh. It is really cute. I'm loving staying at home right now and am sad that I have to go back to work in a week and an half. It will be hard but we have a great person taking care of her.

She was a little hungry!

Ice Storm

This past week here in Kansas on Monday night, we had a huge ice storm. It knocked out the power in most of the town for at least a day. Some people are still without power. We lost it for about 24 hours and would have been fine if it wasn't for our 3 week old baby we needed to keep warm. I stayed at the house all day and we ate dinner with some friends that were kind enough to feed and house us. We then spent the night in the break room of the green house where John's uncle Lloyd works. They had a generator going and pulled out a couple of mattresses they had laying around. It wasn't ideal, but it was warm. The pictures are of our trees that fell and thankfully didn't hurt the house. I made a huge mess, but the ice is beautiful. Today it is 50 outside. Kansas weather is so weird!

My Parents came by recently, surprising me with a visit from dad. He stayed 2 days, but mom stayed for a week. It was so nice to have her here. I really enjoyed the naps I was able to take in the afternoons while grandma held Addison. She also cleaned my oven! Which is something I have been putting off for 2 years now. Here are some fun shots, I just love her faces!
