Scowlicious!

Today since it was such a nice day we thought we would get outside and take some pictures. I never got one year pictures, and Joel thinks I have to start trying to do them myself so we don't have to pay anyone. I am not great, but oh well. Here are a few of Daddy and his girls :)

"No more pictures please!"

And here we come to the title of this post. I was trying to get a cute picture for the frame in our living room, and I got about 30 with this expression. Scowl, scowl! Reminds me of her 3 month pictures!

This is after we got a brownie out to tempt her with! These are my favorites:













Well, that's all folks! Sorry, that was majorly nerdy. That's all the pictures though.

Today was also weigh day for Addie! She is up to 16 lbs 13 oz! And boy, can my arms tell! Lugging her around is definately harder! In a couple weeks I am going to post her growth chart, to see how far she has come in a month is amazing!

She's Growing up!

New milestone for Addie! Tonight Joel and I and Addie were in the kitchen. Then I looked at Addie, and she was in the middle of the kitchen, STANDING! She has never stood up on her own without pulling herself up on something. I quickly ran to get the camera, but of course, she was sitting by the time I got back. BUT, she started doing it all night! She is so proud of herself! I took a couple videos and put them together so you would only have to look at one.

No more April babies....

Today I got my first Mothers' Day present! I didn't get anything last year... so I thought I should get something good this year, right? Well, actually we were going to get it last year, but it just kept going on the back burner. Oh well! I got a "mom ring"! I am so excited about it!

Here it is... I couldn't take a picture of it actually on my finger because, let's face it, I may have the ugliest fingers ever! So, I zoomed really close!

I originally wanted a ring like my wedding band, only smaller... but since I have an April baby that was way too much $$$$ so I went with this, and I love it, small, simple, and pretty. Unfortunately the band was too thin to have anything engraved, so that is a bummer, but I am okay with it. When we have more kids I am going to get the same thing and stack the rings.

On another note, we got the results of Addie's chromosome test today, and are happy to know she does not have Turner's Syndrome. Happy to know, even though I already knew :)

And on yet another note, we are selling our car... I still think of it as my car, and am very sad about it, but the time has come. If anyone knows anyone looking for a great car, let me know! I am just about to go out and give it a good cleaning so I can list it tomorrow!

Happy Mothers' Day!!!!!!!!

This is from last Mothers' Day.... how things have changed!

This is this year.... I think I am going to grow out my bangs again.... I think I look YOUNGER!

Today we went to my grandma's house, and I told her we had to have a picture with her and Addie because they always spend time together, and I have NO pictures of them together! Here is Addie clapping with Oma

Then we went to my aunt's house for dessert.

There's Spencer!


Daddy and his girls :)


Relaxing the day away....



When there is food around, Addie HAS to have it!

Random

I always do this to Addie's hair after a bath. I think it gives it more "volume" She isn't amused.


Addie FINALLY learned to clap this week!!!! I have been trying for MONTHS to get her to clap, no cigar, then the other day, she just did it!

Not much else to report. My cousin's son had his 4 month check up this week, he weighs 15 lbs 2 oz.... Addie weighs 15 lbs 9 oz! If she gains 3 more oz by Sunday she will have gained a pound this week!!!!

She is getting too big for her jammies (length wise) FINALLY 6 month clothes!!!!

Addie can also stand on her own... she CAN do it, she just doesn't want to. I have let her go a few times and she will stand for a minute, then she notices and sits. Stinker!
