Time To Move On...

So now that Addi Rose is a year old, I think it's time to move on to a new blog that encompasses all of our children....

NEW BLOG COMING SOON! Stay tuned for the new blog....

Here are a few pics from this week...including her debut as Tinkerbell!!

One Year Ago....

Addison Rose turned one year old on Tuesday, October 26th! The day was celebrated with a nice lunch at Flip burger with Michael, Addi Rose and myself. We enjoyed it but I think Addi felt a little slighted in that all she could have was her bottle and her own food! The following day, we took her to her one year check up and here are her stats: 18 lbs, 11 ounces, 27.5 inches tall. The peditrician said she's doing great!! One year check up in the books (with just a follow-up eye appointment in December - this is common to follow vision with premature babies). She had to have some shots and she was really brave but I think her feelings got more hurt than usual (but would you blame her?!?!?)

Thankful for a healthy baby girl!

A Month to Go and She'll be One....

Wow, really, a month before Addi Rose turns one? I was really thinking about that today while Addi stayed with me through the MOMS group meeting at church when another mom asked how old is she. She's 11 months old.... Where did it all go?
Here are the updates:
- 16 3/4 pound, 26 inches (continues to go up on the growth chart but still little for her age)
- crawls like a maniac
- pulls up in her crib and is trying to take steps (assisted only)
- Says "hi" and "dadda" and lots of other "babbly" type sounds, and mimics some sounds

She's a joy to have and is so sweet to everyone she's around. She absolutely is a "daddy's girl" - she just about jumps out of my arms when he comes home from work!!!!

I was really scared that she was born so early last year but I'm now getting to the point where I am actually super excited to have an October baby! Fall, Halloween, pumpkins, harvest - this is my favorite time of year (and it just keeps getting better with Thanksgiving and Christmas)!!!!
I can't lie, I already started thinking about her pumpkin-themed birthday!!! SO FUN!!!!

Nine months - already come and gone...

These are shots of Addison right around 9 months taken at her Wee-ta's house (my mom and dad's house). She really has fun spending time with them!

Addi Rose is the apple of her brothers' eyes and she absolutely adores them!
