So many new things!

It's been a while since I've posted...

Addison is army crawling now. I don't think that it will be too much longer until she is crawling for real! The other night Christopher kept putting her knees under her to help her crawl and she thought that it was so funny! He thought she was crying, but as you can see from the pictures she loved it!

This one was my favorite! You can really see those 2 bottom teeth.

Last Saturday we decided to go to Lake Fork for the night. This was Addison's first time at the lake house, she enjoyed it! She really like helping her dad fish!
She was working hard to try and figure out how to use the fishing pole! When Christopher actually caught a fish she thought it was so cool! She laughed and squealed at the fish!

We also went to the park to swing for the first time the other day. She had been crying to about an hour so I thought she might like to swing, I was right!

I liked this picture with her shadow. When she saw her shadow she was so intrigued by it. She just smiled and laughed at it.

She also discovered that she likes playing in the laundry basket. She puts her toes and fingers through all of the holes and then she tries to stand up. Mostly the standing up leads to the basket tipping over, which she doesn't seem to mind too much.

This is my least favorite of the new things. Addison has had her fair share of blowouts, all of them out the back... however, this was her blowout the front. Really, up to her ribs. It was so nasty! I showed this picture to someone and they thought that was baby food on her... no just poop!
Her new sunglasses. The last ones are good and all and will work great in the pool but they weren't that cute. So when my sister was here a few weeks ago we found these at Target! They are so much cuter! She actually will wear them for a while, then she'll pull them off to chew on the side of them. This was just one Saturday when we were going out and thought that she might need some shades!
This is how she likes to relax in her ducky tub.

A few weeks ago Addison was cranky and wouldn't let us put her down so Christopher decided to carry her around on his back while we cleaned. She enjoyed it a lot, she stayed there for over an hour.

There are other new things that I don't have pictures of yet. Christopher got a new truck, well, new to him! We like it! Of course, as you might have guessed I was a little sad to say good bye to the green truck!

The other new thing is our weight set! We got money for Christmas and have been saving it to purchase us a weight set since I'm only at work 2 days a week and that's were I worked out. Well, we debated and debated on which one to buy and had finally decided. Then one day Christopher was walking through the hospital and someone had posted a picture of one that they were selling. It was nicer than the one that we were going to get and cheaper! Plus, it included all the weights. It's nice to have it in the garage and can workout while Addison is napping. Really this is the first week that we have had it so hopefully I can get into a good routine and use it regularly.

Snow pictures!!

I love it when it snows. As does Addison, you'll see in the upcoming pictures! I know that I haven't blogged in a while, but this one will just be pictures, I'll give life updates later! Since we don't get know that much I had to improvise with scarf (black tights) and gloves (socks)!! I took about 50+ pictures, so these are the ones that I narrowed it down to. NOTE: Don't worry grandparents, I didn't sit her in the snow, I had one of her waterproof pee pads underneath her.

Here you go Aunt Melissa. Finally the running pictures!

Christopher and I went to the track Saturday morning and since we were in our running gear we decided Addison should be too. Christopher tried to tell me that I was silly for rolling up her sweat pants, I had to expain to him that this is the trend right now. It was also the first time for her to wear her Nike's, yes they're still WAY to big, but she had to have her running shoes!

I mean really, how cute is she!!

We got some sunglasses at Target the other day. (Jaymie, they have yellow, red and royal blue, I think Kanyon would be so cool in them!) Then we decided we also needed to break out the hat since she likes her daddy's so much!

Yes, I realize that she looks sort of like a bug and sort of like she has goggles on, but she likes them! She'll just go on playing even though everything is dark!

Going for a drive with her car in her new shades!

Happy Valentine's Day

Thanks Aunt Mary for the bib!

So Addison decided to bring back the 80's. After vigorous playing on the floor, this is how I found her. Side bow, I'm sure it would have been a side pony tail if she had hair, and shirt off the shoulder!

Messages from Addison

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!

Wish that I could see you on your birthday, but I know that I will soon enough! I love you!!

Great Uncle Scott - I heard from my Nonna that you are a faithful blog reader to see what I am up to. How come you never leave me messages? Just so you know all your Cowboy stuff comes in very handy. I play on the blanket almost everyday, the bottle stores extra milk, the bib keeps my shirt clean when I'm eating and the nightlight makes my room not so scary at night!

I can't believe that Addison is 5 months old! We had to have a little photo shoot on her birthday and I'm pretty excited about how they look!

Cute picture of Mallory and Addison Friday night!

Sunday after our nap, 2.5 hours, we went out to the Porters land in Hallsville. It was fun since it was so nice outside!

Mark and Chris on the way to the pond with their babies!

I really don't think that we have that many family pictures, here is one of the few.

Somehow a few of my favorite photo shoot pictures got deleted off of this and blogger won't let me add them back... I'll try later!

What do we do?

Since January I only work 2 days a week at the office and try to get in a few more hours from home! I love it! I get to stay home with my baby 5 days a week. I love to watch her learn and figure things out. So what do we do all day?

We look at our friend Cohen! Everyday we walk to the refrigerator and I ask Addison "want to see your boyfriend Cohen?" Then she will stare at the picture for a while and touch his face, sometimes she leans in for a kiss! I'm serious we really do this everyday! We keep the picture at eye level so that she can easily see him! I just don't want her to forget him. Cohen is really the only boy that I always refer to as her boyfriend, since he's exactally a week older than her and they love each other so much (see post "Love at First Sight!") So, Cassy, I think we need a new picture to look at!

Helping mommy cook dinner! She likes to play with the spoons, chew on them and make them move around and clink together. She doesn't like it when she tips it over, her face is funny when it makes a super loud noise.

She's learning to read food labels! Not really... I left the brown sugar out on the cabinet after my oatmeal and she liked trying to pick it up.

This just makes me laugh! She loves to use her feet for everything! Picking up toys, moving the ducks in the bathtub, etc. But when she's in her highchair she likes to put her feet on the bottom of the tray!

She helps me wash bottles! She just discovered how much noise she can make pulling all the bottles off the drying rack. This was the first time that she was able to pull one off, doesn't she look so proud of herself!

She helps me fold laundry!

This was my attempt the other day at keeping her from watching TV. IT worked really well!

Just a cute picture of her sitting up!

Another cute picture from Sunday after church. Since my mom doesn't get to see her as often anymore I like to take pictures of her when she wears outfits that my mom gave her. This was the best one that came out of this bunch, even though you can't see the dress.

She loves to grab faces, which is okay as long as her fingernails are short! She talks while she is trying to figure out what all the parts of our faces are.

This was Sunday afternoon. I came home from a baby shower and she was out. So I thought that it would be a good chance to paint her toenails. Well, she woke up after the left foot. So I attempted to paint the right foot with her awake! As you can see, she was very interested in what I was doing. Right foot is a little messy, but pink toenails are SUPER cute on a 5 month old baby!

I wanted to give a shout out to Liz and Irish! I was so excited that you left a comment yesterday! I just started smiling and I could hear Irish saying "tell her that we like her baby!" Man, I so wish that I could have been at your wedding! I miss you guys!
