First attempt...

This morning, Addison was a pretty chipper 4 month old, so we decided to give the cereal a try. As you can see from the facial expressions, Bug wasn't too sure about the whole cereal thing. I think we may wait a little longer until trying it again. ;)

Weighing in.....

Weighing in at 15lbs, 6oz and a mere 26 1/4 inches long is Addison!! We had our 4 month check up this morning and luckily since school was cancelled because of this excellent weather, I got to tag along with Addison and Daddy to the doctor. Dr. Gill said Miss Addison was just perfect. She's in the 98th percentile for height and 86th percentile for weight. Everything is looking good. We can start rice cereal once a day for 7-10 days and then start some tasty solids after that, she said!
Addison also had her second round of immunization shots. She received one shot in each leg and an oral dose of something. The nurse warned us that the shots do burn going in and Addison got to show off what a set of lungs she has! The shocker among the shots was while she was wailing away, mommy noticed two little white spots on her bottom gum line. Having the nurse double check, yep...we have two little teeth. The haven't broken the surface just yet, but you can definitely make them out! The nurse asked if she'd been running a low grade fever, had a runny nose, or been fussier than normal, but our answer to all these was "Nope!" She said we were definitely lucky so far, then!
At 26in, we better be checking the length on most of our 6 month clothes!! :)

Fabulous Four!

Addison is 4 months old today!! I can hardly believe it. She has grown and changed so much in such a short amount of time. She is starting to mimic sounds that Brian and I make at her and it's so funny to watch. She loves to smile and squeal at anyone.

As of Jan. 5th, I returned to the classroom and Addison is now going to the sitter. She's making so many new friends there that play peek-a-boo with her and even make "play"food for her and sit it on her exersaucer. She comes home everyday exhausted and Brian and I have to wake her up so we can spend time with her!

I guess Addison wanted to make her 4 month day special and exciting. I woke up this morning at 3:30, and decided to check the monitor to see how Addison was sleeping. I must not have been completely awake because when I looked at the monitor, I couldn't make out Addison's head and freaked that she had covered herself with a blanket! I raced into her room, scared to death and found her with her feet where her head usually is and her head down at the bottom. Surprise and shocker to me, she was sound asleep on her belly while sucking her thumb! Granted, she's been rolling over onto her belly for quite sometime, but had yet to roll over while sleeping. This must now be her new favorite position because after feeding her and placing her back in her crib, she immediately rolled back onto her belly. Today, for nap time...same thing. What can I say, the girl knows what she likes! :)

Season's Greetings!

Since having a 3 month old doesn't leave a lot of spare time on our hands, Brian and I didn't get a chance to send out Christmas cards, considering I didn't have Addison's picture taken until last week. So, we figured we'd share on here! Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday season!

Rollin' rollin' rollin'

Addison has been rolling onto her side for a few weeks, but as I said before, always got stuck. Last night, we were getting ready for a bath and she finally got the kickstand out of the way! :) For you're viewing pleasure, we've attached her lastest milestone...please ignore her lack of clothing! Enjoy!

Can't we share?

Bella has been doing an amazing job with Addison. Most of the time, she just stays away from her. Brian and I have found out the hard way that we can't leave any bottles or binkys laying around the house because we'll find them in many, many pieces when we get home. Bella just loves chewing them up. She's already gotten ahold of 3.

While at Nana and Pop's this weekend, Addison was playing in her pack and play and I caught Bella sneaking a peak at the binky inside the bassinet with Addison. If only I knew her exact thoughts....

3 months already!

Last week, Addison officially turned 3 months old. Hard to believe how fast those 3 months have flown by. She has grown and changed so much in those few, short months and Brian and I are loving every minute of it. Here are a some things that really stand out...

1. Addison loves to hear herself scream. (We just started this today on our activity mat). She's not upset, she screams, looks over at me, and then smiles.

2. She's almost rolled over on her belly. She kicks her legs up in the air together and rolls them over. Usually to the left side. Unfortunately, her left arm/hand is usually somewhat in her mouth and acts like a kickstand and won't allow her to roll all the way over. :)

3. She's loves laying on the bed and bouncing! She just cackles away the entire time.

4. She officially has a bumbo seat and loves talking to and chewing on her moo-cow and Mr. Ducky.

Whoa, did moo-cow just talk back?
