Daddy/daughter Time

I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband who is such a good father to Addison. He is so good with her and she loves him so much! Chris took a half day off today and they had a great time playing at home and he even took her to Sea World for an hour (wish I could have seen that!).

Here is a little video of the fun they have together and also some pictures of the silly faces Addison has been making lately!

In Honor of the Oscars....

Best comedic performance goes to Addy and her daddy!

My little sick baby

Sweet Addison has had a cold for the past couple of weeks and just hadn't been acting herself for a few days so I took her into the doctor yesterday. Poor baby has an ear infection and a pretty red throat. I stayed home with her yesterday and Chris stayed home with her today and I think she's on the road to recovery. She's much happier tonight and went to bed without problems (she had been crying when she went to bed and in the middle of the night for a few nights). Despite being a little under the weather, we still had fun hanging out together yesterday!

4 months old

After her shots, poor girl!

Well, this is a little bit late since Addison turned 4 months on the 9th. She is getting to be such a big girl. She loves to laugh, smile and coo. She loves it when her daddy sings "Surfin' USA" and her mommy dances. She still loves her bath and to be read to. She doesn't like laying on her back and always wants to be sitting up. She loves putting everything in her mouth, but most of all her fists. She loves holding onto a rattle and shaking it. She loves hitting the toys on her baby gym and especially loves her starfish and bumblebees on the gym. She has become a little wiggle worm lately and is always trying to squirm her way out of her swing, bumbo seat or car seat! She has rolled over 5 times from her tummy to her back, but is not consistent with it yet. We had her 4 month check-up last week and she got her first round of shots-it was so hard for mommy and daddy to hear her cry! Here are her stats:

Weight: 13 lbs. 13 oz. (50th percentile)

Height: 24 inches (50th percentile)

Head circumference: 15 1/2 inches (5-10th percentile)

Such a big girl!

A Conversation With Addison

It's so fun to hear Addison's sweet voice. She was quite talkative tonight-I guess she had a lot to say about Valentine's Day! We love to see her little personality developing. She is so much fun to be around!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Laughter is the best medicine

Addison started laughing 2 weeks ago and it is the sweetest thing! I was getting sad because she laughed at her daddy, her babysitter, the babysitter's daughter, the kids at her daycare, but not me! I tried everything-singing, dancing, silly faces, to no avail! But tonight, she finally thought I was funny enough and we laughed for a long time! So sweet! Here is a little tiny bit of Addison laughing at her daddy-hopefully we'll get more on video soon!
