Addie's Three Months Old

Today, Oct 8th, Adeline is three months old. Oh how time flies. Addie you are a busy baby and love to have undivided attention. You want people to look you in the eye and you like to be held (a lot). We have discovered that you like your walker and push yourself backwards around on the kitchen floor. Sophie has taken to pushing you around the kitchen island in it. You also seem to use the walker as a great place to get the poopies out.


(This is you asleep in the walker)
You love to smile and are trying to talk a lot. Lately you have been chewing on your fingers and ours. Are you teething? Possibly. One thing for sure, you like to eat. If you have a full tummy, you sleep really well. Mommy and daddy both appreciate that.

You kind look just like your sister, minus the brown eye and a little more brown hair. Beautiful, we can't get enough of you. (Except when we are riding in the car and you are screaming.) The car rides are actually getting better. We drove 3 1/2 hours each way from camping this week and you did awesome in the car. Only a couple minutes of crying.

You like to watch everything. You will actually sit and watch the tv. What 3 month old watches tv? You also look out the window of the car while we are driving (in between screaming).

Adeline, you are a happy baby that is growing too fast. Please try and stay my little baby a bit longer. By the way, we are getting out the 6-9 month clothes this weekend.

Sophie's First Day of Preschool

On September 6th Sophie had her first day of preschool. She goes to a lady here in the neighborhood and has a small class of 5 kids, 4 of which are boys. She seems to really like it.
When we showed up at preschool for the first time she said, "this is a house." I am pretty sure she was expecting a school building. I told her that her class was inside the house and that seemed to be a good enough answer for her.

Addie 2 Months Old

Saying Addie is two months old seems like an understatement. Yes technically by age she turned two months on the 8th, but she is much older and bigger then your average 2 month old. Here are her two month stats:

Weight: 13lbs 1oz 93%
Height: 24inchs 91%
Head: Not sure how big but 26%

At Sophie's 4 month check up she was 13lbs 3.5oz and 24 inches tall. Needless to say, Addie is quite advanced for her age.

(See likes to have something covering her face when she sleeps)

Sophie is totally in love with Addie. Asking about Addie is usually the first thing she says in the morning. She likes to help hold her and get things for me. She was mad the other night because Addie had on the matching jammies Grandma Olson gave them but Sophie had different ones on. She wanted Addie and her to match.

Addie is smiling everyday and loves to talk with us. The coos and gurgling sounds are soooo cute!! About a week ago she started sleeping through the night which has been quite enjoyable for everyone. She still likes to be held a lot, but also enjoys time laying on here back. The car seat continues to be a battle, but things have improved. She spends more time not crying in the car then crying so that's progress.

Starting to hold toys

I think Addie is saying " I love you grandma."

Sophie First Dentist Appointment

Sophie went to her first real dentist appointment. We did one once when she was two, but she wouldn't even open her mouth. This time she was awesome. She let them brush her teeth, do the x-rays and everything else. She was a rockstar!

Note to Self

Do not buy Tide detergent, I repeat do not do it! I know you got a great price on it and it is a really great detergent, but you are apparently allergic to it. In case you ever are temped to buy it, look back at the pictures in this post and remember the four weeks that you were so itchy from your shoulders to your feet you could hardly stand it. Good thing you kept your receipt and got a refund.

-Sincerely,

Yourself

Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy Birthday Daddy, we love you so much!
You are the best daddy.

I'm one month (Aug 8th)

Addie is one month old and we are loving every minute of it. She is super strong and getting bigger everyday. She can hold her head up and sits up very well. I have been considering getting her a bumbo chair already. (If anyone is getting rid of one, let me know.) Addie has been a joy to have in our family and fits right in. Here are a few things about Addie:

She does NOT like her carseat or riding in the car. (if you will notice in these pictures she is not buckled into her seat because I had to take her out as soon as we got to the park.) She will usually just screams until she is sweaty and exhausted then maybe falls asleep. I used to pull over every 5 minutes or so to try and feed her or burb her, but to no avail, she will still scream. We have all gotten used to her crying in the car =( I hope she will grow out of that.

Other then time in the car, she is a happy baby. She loves to cuddle and sleep on her tummy. I have told her that my baby books say she is not allowed to sleep on her tummy yet, but she has apparently not read that part. Needless to say she gets to nap on her tummy when mommy is with her, but at night she has to sleep on her back. Sorry Addie, wait until you get a little older then you can sleep how you want.

We also had the chance to bless Addie this month. Her blessing was on August 7 at our church in Farmington. We did the blessing a little earlier then usual because it worked out best for visiting family. Plus, if we waited any longer Addie probably would not have fit into the dress. (I heart my big baby.) Addie's Great-Grandma Bliss, Grandma and Grandpa Olson, Uncle Erik and much of her Beaird family (too many to name) side got to come for the blessing. Mike did a beautiful job with the blessing. It was also very special because Uncle Erik was able to participant in the blessing.


As you can tell by this delayed posting, getting things like this done with two kids is a little more difficult. In fact, Sophie is on a playdate and Addie is sleeping and that is why this is getting done. I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. My girls are super special to me.
