Love at first sight!

This past weekend we went to Arlington to help Christopher's brother, Kallen, move into his house. After that we met Chad and Cassy at The Branch for church then stayed the night with them. Chad and Cassy were married a week after me and Chris. Cassy and I were due a week apart, me Sept. 3 and her Sept. 10, and we ended up having the babies a week apart, her Sept. 1 and me Sept. 8. So we've been waiting for Addison and Cohen to meet! I'll admit, we've been talking him up a little to Addison. I wish that I had a picture of when they first met, it was too cute! They just smiled, stared and talked to each other! They even leaned in for their first kiss but Cassy and I thought that it was a little too early for that! Of course we took a lot of pictures. I think that Cassy got some better shots than I did, but here they are.

Chris and Chad wondered how many pictures were going to be taken when we started out when we left the church. But, how cute are they one with a pink blanket and one with a blue blanket!

Sort of a funny picture, Cohen has a triple chin and Addison has AlfAlfa hair! I thinks it's pretty cute!!

We new that they would probably be competitive but we didn't think it would start this early. Addison does not look happy that he is a little ahead of her...

Chad and I put them down on the floor to see if they were the same height and they decided to practice for their first dance! Seriously, we didn't place their arms like that, they did it themselves.

FUNNY STORY...

So Addison occasionally likes to blow it out the back of her diaper. When this happens we double duty it to keep all the poo from getting in her hair... while I was unsnapping her I could tell that Chris was moving her around, he started laughing and this is what I found...

Yes, she's hanging on a hanger. What can I say, she's born to be a gymnast!

I like this picture, she looks so proud that she can hold herself up.

Photo Shoot!!

Addison and I decided to have a little photo shoot while Christopher was at work this morning! The first two are my favorites, the others I thought were cute!

And we had to call it a day... can you tell she got hungry?

So here's what's been going on with us... In pictures of course!

This is how we find Addison now when she wakes up from a nap. She loves pushing up on her elbows/hands and looking around to see where she is. This is soon followed by her rolling to her back. She's getting very close to rolling back over to her stomach, it's funny to watch her try to use all her little muscles that she knows to try to get back over.

For the past 3 Christmas's I've wanted Christopher to put lights on the house. His excuse has always been he needed a ladder and we would have to go and buy lights. So, last year after Christmas I bought a lot of lights on sale and he got a ladder from my mom for his birthday! Therefore, here he is, doing something that he really dislikes. I also think that he feels as though he has to put up lights now that he's a dad!

Sunday at church was baby dedication (pictures to come). When we got home I thought that Addison looked so cute we would try to have a mini photo shoot. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but I thought that this one turned out pretty cute!

Since she is holding herself up so well I thought that I would try putting her in front of the mirror again. I've done this before but it didn't hold her attention that well. Now, anytime I do it she just stares at herself. She thinks that she is pretty cute!!

Chutch likes to find the gofers in our yard. When he finally gets one he like to make sure that we notice what he has done and always leaves the gofer where we can find it. Last week I went out to feed him and he was sitting next to his bowl so proud of what he accomplished.

Addison has a nice little cottage cheese bum! I tried to get a good picture of it before bath time...

She got to tired standing and decided it would be better to sit on the cabinet.

Addison has also discovered how much fun her exersaucer is! She loves talking to her sun!

Last Friday we went over and played with Kanyon. Most of the time when we see him they are not awake at the same time. Friday we managed to capture the 10 minutes that they were both awake and not eating! Jaymie and I had a hard time getting both of them to smile but I finally got a picture! Aren't they cute! They're great friends, can't you tell!!

On another note, please be praying for my "friend" (who doesn't want people to know who she is), next Monday she is going in to have a biopsy of her cervix to check for cervical cancer. She's very nervous. I'm not sure what all to ask prayers for... most of all please just pray that God uses this opportunity to show himself to her and for her to see what an amazing and comforting God he is. Pray that she will finally see Him and realize that she was made to be with Him and He wants nothing more than a relationship with her.
