Ice Day!

Early in December Dallas had its first winter weather of the year.  Not snow...but lots of ice!  We had several inches of thick ice in Frisco and most of us were stuck in the house for several days. Sophia and I went out to play a few times, she thought it was pretty fun!  There were actually kids ice skating and playing hockey in our streets!  We are hoping for one more snow day this winter :)

Loving the snow/ice!

Practicing walking!

Me and my girl :)

She wanted to go sledding down the hill like all the big kids.  This bucket is all we had but she still loved it!

We Are Thankful!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!  We made our first road trip with 2 kids and it went surprisingly well.  We got to spend time with both our parents and had a lot of fun.  This year we are thankful for our family and friends, but especially for our two beautiful girls!

 

2 Months!

Addison turned 2 months old on Monday.  She continues to be such a good baby and we love her so much!  She is getting better at sleeping at night and will normally go about 5 hours and over Thanksgiving went 8 hours!  It was wonderful!! Hopefully a sign of things to come. :)

We went to the doctor yesterday and Addison is doing great.  She had to get 2 shots and she got so mad and cried so much.  I felt terrible!  Addison is a such a chubby baby girl just like her mommy was. :)  Actually, we looked at some of my baby pictures and Addison and I are twins...it is really funny.  You would think we are the same baby in the pictures!

Here are her 2 month stats:
Height: 23 1/4 inches (75%)
Weight: 12 pounds 14 ounces 90%)
Head: 15" (30%)

Here is a little about Addison:

• Eats 6-7 times per day
• usually sleeps for about 10 hours total and gives me a about a 4 or 5 hour stretch and goes right back to sleep after eating. 
• still loves being swaddled
• usually only awake 1-1.5 hours max in the day and then needs a nap. 
• size 3 month clothes and even some 6 month!
• size 1 diapers
• she has started cooing and smiling especially at mommy and daddy!
• getting better at tracking with her eyes.
• getting much better at tummy time.
• Rarely cries, and when she does there is a reason - all day and all night, except for 8:30pm-10:30 or 11pm...she is pretty fussy at that time.  I'm pretty sure Sophia was that way too and the fussiness stopped sometime around 2 months.  Hoping Addison is the same!

I love this smile!

I love this face!

Just relaxing.

My baby girl!

We love you Addison!  You are such a little blessing!!  You are growing up so fast already and I am loving these days with you.

Addison"s Birth Announcement

We are really happy with how Addison's birth announcement turned out.  I cannot believe she is only 5 days old in these pictures! :)

Addison's Newborn Pictures

We had newborn pictures taken of Addison and our family during her first week.  We were really happy with how they came out!  Here are some of our favorites.

 

Fun at the Arboretum!

We made it to the Arboretum a little later than normal this year...we were busy in October!  But I was determined to go and I'm glad we did.  We had so much fun.  Even though it was really hard to get good pictures with our very active 2 year old and very sleepy newborn baby, Sophia loved running around the park and looking at all of the pumpkins.  We even had a little picnic, listened to some music, and watched Sophia dance and run around for at least an hour!  This girl has some energy.  We can't wait to go back!

Pumpkins!

Me and my 2 babies.  Yes, we need a double stroller. 

She is saying "No, Mommy!"

Addison woke up so we took a picture.  Then she fell back asleep :)
