I MISSED IT!

What kind of first-time mother am I! Well, I had just finished feeding little Miss Addy. I had to run into the other room, so I placed her on her stomach with some toys. She HATES being on her stomach, so why she wasn't fussing was beyond me...until I walked back in. She had rolled over for the first time! No wonder she was not crying. And I missed it! So I put her back on her tummy and do think she did it again. Nope. Not for an audience...stubborn little girl! But all the same, my little baby is growing up. Every day is an adventure even if we just lounge all day in our jammies. I love watching this little girl! I called Dan to tell him that she had just rolled over and he was sad he missed it to. He is such a great daddy!


Our Valentines Weekend was good. Friday Dan, Addy and I went down to IF to dinner and a movie. We got home around 12:30 and decided that since it was now V-Day we could open the box from the mail that our dear Morgan had specifically said, "Do not open until 2/14/09. She had sent some goodies for all of us, plus an adorable little dress for Addyson. She said that we were her Valentines this year. Thanks Morg. I worked half a shift (noon-6:30) on Sat. But Dan had made breakfast before and dinner afterwards. He is such a good guy. I am so lucky to have such an awesome family! Hope you all had a good Valentine's weekend.

Thanks Morg! Wink!! Wink! :)

4 months old and stuck in the 0% range!

That is right! 0%. We went to Addyson's appointment today hoping and feeling quite sure we had finally reached 10 lbs, but...No. We are still happy though because she is still growing well and healthy and we are loving every day of it. Here are her statistics today vs when she was born.
Weight: 9 lbs 10 oz (0%) vs 5lb 6 oz
Height: 24 inches (35%) vs 18 inches long
Head: 15.3 inches (3%) vs 12.5 inches round


I saw on a friends blog kind of an ode to their baby each month on their birthday and thought maybe I would do kind of the same...But I am a week late..My bad! So I am going to start now and name it... Adoring Addy!

Adoring Addy
I adore Addy's beautiful smile each time she sees us.
I adore how Addy recognizes her daddy and mommy.
I adore Addy's cute little frame, with each individual part.
I adore how Addy's starting to almost roll & her legs flopping over.
I adore Addy sucking on her toes, hands, arms...my arms, my hands, etc.
I adore Addy with her cute bows that I have learned to make.
I adore her big blue eyes that light up her parent's life.
I adore Addy when she poops on her own without a suppository (really, I do)
I adore Addy sleeping at night in her room for the past month 9 hours/night.
I adore watching Addy laughing and splashing in the tub.
I adore Addy's coos, laughs, and babbles.
I adore watching Addy and her daddy, loving each other.
I adore Addy flirting with everyone who looks at her.

I also want to share with you Addy moments from my camera on my phone. Enjoy!

GREG'S HOME! YAHOO!

So my brother, Greg, returned home from Afghanistan last Tuesday. Some of my family went and met him as he walked out of the plane. It was quite the ordeal! Lots of happy families reunited. Ours was one of them. My cute little nieces and nephews (Bryan's kids) all had their army gear on, looking ever so cute! There were TV station crews there doing interviews with the families. I guess my family was on several of the stations there in Utah, but I was only able to find one on the Internet. Anyway, that is all besides the point...

What a weekend this past one was! My oldest brother, Bryan, blessed his little girl, Samantha, on Sunday. So Dan, Addy, and I went down. Friday night Greg talked us into going to the Jazz game about an hour before it started. So we found some tickets on ksl.com (great website!) It was a blow out, but it was still great! Addyson was great throughout her first NBA game. She loved the bright lights of the place. The rest of the weekend was spent moving furniture and setting up new furniture for my brother's house.

Our drive home was long! Our car was in the body shop from being hit, so we took Dan's pickup. About 2 miles from home, something went out in his truck so we had to drive about 20 mph home. Then this morning it wouldn't start so Dan had to go still his brother's truck (who is out of town and we are watching his son all week). He took me to Sugar to pick up my car because my parents had picked it up while we were in Utah and ... it was dead! We jumped it and it did fine until I got home. I turned it off and restarted it and it did well. So I went into the house and got Addyson ready for her Dr. appointment and back out the door...DEAD! Not to mention we were already running late. So a call to Dan and the Dr. office. Man, I love how blessed I am to live in a time of vehicles...but when they don't work...I don't love them so much! oh well...
