Baby's 1st Christmas

Where to start....the holidays have been so much fun with Addisyn. We started celebrating with Brad's family the 19th. We had a weekend full of lots of food and presents. Christmas day was spent with my parents and Kristen, then we had the whole Watkins clan over today. Addisyn got so many wonderful presents! Our house has officially been taken over by toys! One of my favorite presents was a plane ticket to Florida to visit Jenn, Vince & Luca. Addisyn and I (yes, just the 2 of us!) will be flying out January 23rd through the 26th.

9 months old!!

Wow...9 months! Where has the time gone? Addisyn's personality has really taken off this month. She's learned how to dance to music (her rhythm, or lack of, has definetely come from her father) and is cruising along the furniture. Besides saying dada, she can also say kitty - although it sounds more like gigee! She is turning into such an active, happy baby, and is such a joy to all! Her check-up will be on the 29th, so check back for her weight.

Addisyn is sick!!

Our poor baby got her first cold and boy has it taken a toll on all of us! After 2 sleepless nights, I think we're on the road to recovery. Lets hope we all stay healthy for the rest of the winter!

1st Thanksgiving

Addisyn's first Thanksgiving was wonderful! She was able to celebrate with the Watkins family on Thanksgiving day, and the Williams family over the weekend. Addisyn loved the turkey and stuffing! With the exception of nighttime, she did great on the road trip. I'm not sure if it was the new environment or the pack n play, but she did not want to sleep at night! Brad & I are both glad to be back home and in our routine again!

8 months...

Another month has gone by too quickly! This past month has been very busy for Addisyn. She's learned how to crawl and pull herself to standing, and can even take a side step while holding onto the furniture! I can't believe she's growing so quickly...right before our eyes! Addisyn is now eating regular foods three times a day and is eating what we have for dinner. She loves to play and babble to herself. The only words so far are DaDa and Baba - still waiting for Mama! This next month will be filled with her first Thanksgiving and Christmas. We're already dreading the house being taken over by toys!!

See how quick I am?!

Check-up

Addisyn had a doctors appointment for her last 1/2 of the flu shot. She's gained exactly 1 lb since her last appointment, so she's at 21 lbs 13.5 oz. Now that Addisyn is very mobile, she's keeping Brad and I very busy! Over the weekend she thought she ought to wake up in the middle of the night to practice her new skills (felt like life with a newborn again), but luckily she's back to her old self!
