Addison waving

Where did the last 9 Months go?

Ok, its been 9 months since addison was born. That was a blink of an eye. I also realized its been a month since I posted last because I was telling you how Addison was 8 months old.

Yesterday was her 9 month appointment. We were glad there weren't any shots but she had to have blood drawn to check iron. I was a little bummed because she wasn't as chubby as Zachery was at that age so she had to have it taken from her arm, not her finger. Well, this little girl sat there and watched the nurse stick the butterfly needle in her arm and take two little tubes of blood. She fussed more when I went to put her clothes on then when she had blood taken! Thats my girl!

Addison is 17lbs and 27 1/4 inches! Just a perfect little peanut! VERY much different then Zachery was at 9 months. I will do a side by side picture.

Those two absolutely love each other! Zachery wakes up and so sweetly says hi to her and when she wakes up from a nap Zachery very quickly and loudly tells me "Baby Awake"

Zachey is on his 4th week of swim lessons and asks if were going to the pool every day! He has a great swim teacher who is VERY patient. He said that Zachery makes him believe in teaching 2 year olds again. Thats a huge compliment to us. Today all he wanted to do was float on his back. The great part about California is the weather could stay nice until November so we will do them once a week for a while.

A few of Zachery's things are baseball still of course, legos, Veggie Tales, and dancing. He could sit for a few hours and just build legos. He loves when Addison takes a nap because he gets to play with the little legos. He has quickly learned the opening song to Veggie Tales and loves to try and sing along. Now, let me tell you about this boy and dancing. His favorite song is "Dynamite" by Tao Cruz. He will dance for ANYONE! Usually the first time he meets someone he asks me for my phone so he can put his song on and dance for them. Instantly everyone recognized his NJ Fist pump, I guess its in the blood!

Addison loves to play with her brothers toys. She has her own little pink toys of course but she just wants what her brother has. Addisons new thing is to wave and say dada at the same time. We always say "Say Hi dada" So she does! She has mama dada and baba (which we think is baby and/or bubbles) she repeats anytime we say a B word. Addison got to swim in the pool today and just loves it. She loves to lay on her back and splash.

We started her on finger foods today as well. She couldn't get those baby puffs in her mouth quick enough. I could go on and on about her! She makes us laugh every day.

I will do my best to not let an entire month go by before I post again!

Enjoy some new pictures!

Its been a while...

Well Addison is now 8 months old! Tell me how that happend!! Zachery will be 2 1/2 next month and summer is flying by!

4th of July Weekend!

Our friends first birthday at the park!

Zachery and Addison's 1st Giants Game!

Memorial Day Weekend

We were able to go to the lake for Memorial Day! We took some friends with us and had a great time. The weather wasn't the best but we still have fun. We took the kids bowling on Saturday. Zachery couldn't get enough of rolling the ball! He was so excited when he knocked the pins down. With the chilly weather the pool wasn't ideal but we filled it with warm bath water. It was perfect. Addison enjoyed her first trip to the lake as well. She loves to be outside.

Zachery had his first experience with fishing as well.

So excited he knocked down pins.

The fish I caught!

Zachery and his friend Cole

He was so proud of his tower he asked me to take his picture!

6 Months Old!

Happy 6 Months Old to our baby girl!

Addison is getting too big too fast! She is army crawling everywhere, especially to her brothers toys. She also tries to sit up from crawling. Food is the new thing. She is eating cereal and tried bananas and carrots so far. Zachery loves to help feed her. He also wants to eat the same thing she does. She had carrots tonight and he had to have some with her.

She weighs 16lbs and is 27 inches long! The Dr. said she's an athlete and very strong.

This shirt says it all about Addison. She is such a happy easy going baby. Her and Zachery get a long wonderfully. They absolutely love each other. Zachery makes her laugh the most.

A's vs. Indians

We had another great night of baseball. The weather was perfect and Zachery is getting a little easier at the games. He definitely enjoys the treats. He asked his Daddy to get autographs so of course Stephen was over the moon!
