Happy Halloween-Week

We had a pretty exciting week for Halloween! We went to a pumpkin carving and chili party with the Malonee Family, then to a Harvest Festival on my parents street, and then Trick or Treating at my parents house! It was fun and Addi had many costumes to wear! Here are the pictures:

6 Months!




Has it really been half a year already? I can't believe it! It has been so much fun watching her grow and change and this point in her life she really has loads of personality. She keeps me on my toes for sure and I have to admit that she is spoiled beyond belief and had made me second guess myself a few times. I know that there is no such thing as too much love, but there is a point when I have to back it down a bit. She thinks that she can do what ever she wants when ever she wants and when she doesn't get her way, oh man WATCH OUT! But on a lighter note she is once again hitting her milestones all at once. She is now fully sitting up by herself and so close to crawling its shocking! She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth, all she has to figure out is how to get her arms to move along with her legs. She holds the bottle all by herself and is starting to get the hang of the sippy cup. She eats like crazy and loves every jar of baby food that she has tried. She sleeps only on her stomach now which I had to adjust to big time. She slept for so long on her back, which is how the doctors recommend, and then all the sudden, in one, night the only way she will sleep is on her tummy. I didn't sleep well for a few nights, waking up all paranoid, but I have gotten over it and I am sleeping so much better! She ended up getting her first cold at the beginning of last week and woke up with a temp of 102.1 Monday night. She is feeling much better but the poor thing could barely eat or sleep because her nose was so stuffy! She is such a happy little thing and everyone who meets her gets a huge smile! She loves attention and can't seem to get enough of it! She is going to be a Bunny Wabbit for Halloween and she looks like a stuffed doll when she is in her costume.

We are loving the nice beautiful fall weather and took some pictures of Addi out on the lawn! It is so nice to have a house with a big front yard and GRASS!!!

5 Months!!!

Almost half a year has gone by already! My little girl isn't so little anymore, she now weighs over 18lbs! She is huge! The funny thing is that she isn't fat by any means but just very tall and has huge chubby little thighs. Her personality is hilarious and she keeps us smiling all day long. She finally started to sleep through the night about 2 weeks ago and I gotta say that it was time. I was exhausted from getting up two times a night at the least! I even got to the point that my doctor said that I was suffering from exhaustion and anxiety! Man it couldn't have come at at better time. She is working daily on sitting up on her own and she loves to stand up. She can't do it on her own but wants to so badly. Everyone says that she is going to walk before she even learns to crawl. She got to have her first experience with fruits and loves them! She hits her high chair in excitement when she knows its coming. She has tried bananas and apple sauce so far and next is going to be some vegetables. She loves to reach for her toys and today she even rolled over from her back to her tummy! She was reaching for the cat but at least it got her to roll! She is also getting better at spending time on her tummy. She would scream whenever we tried it and now is getting to the point where she will tolerate it for a few minutes at a time and even kicks her legs back and forth like she is trying to crawl but just can't quite get her legs underneath herself. The doctors say that she isn't getting any teeth but she loves to chew/drool/suck on everything that she can get her mouth on! She makes this hilarious squeaking noise on her chewing toy, watch the video, so funny!

4 Months old!


Man she is growing like a weed! She is already 16.7 lbs which puts her in the 90-95 percentile for weight and she is 25 inches long which puts her in the 50-75 percentile for height. She is reaching so many milestones so quickly! She can keep her head flat with her body when you pull her to sitting instead of letting it hang backwards, she is holding all of her body weight on her legs with us just holding her hands, she does baby talk all day long, she lifts her chest off the ground when on her tummy, she rolls over from her tummy to her back, she slept through the night on August 7th and for two more nights after that, she grabs toys that are held in front of her, and best of all she just started to eat rice cereal!! And all this happened in almost a weeks time, Man!! What a grown up girl she is getting to be! It's just amazing!

















Uh Oh, here's trouble!! Already learning to pull Porscha's Tail!













I got her one of those jumpers that you hang on a door way and she loves it! Here are a few pictures from her playing around in it:













































We have been working on our new house every weekend and it's looking really good! Her room is almost complete! I love the way it turned out:

Rolling..Rolling..Rolling..

Today Addison rolled over from her tummy to her back! I couldn't believe it! Unfortunately she hates to be on her stomach so we don't do as much tummy time as we should. I put her on her tummy just to see if she could lift her chest off the floor yet and out of nowhere she rolled! At first I didn't even realize what she did; she did it two more times and then had about enough of it and started screaming. Oh well at least she did it, my big grown girl!!
