Well, first off... my lawyer husband Darren made me remove the naked baby pictures. I told him that I'm just "a mom trying to show off some cute naked pictures of my babies." His response? "I've seen one too many lawyer shows where this happens and it gets turned into a child pornography case."
So, I have more cuteness to share...fully clothed!
I was doing some things in the kitchen the other day when I heard Addison cooing away and so I peeked down the railing and this is what I saw:
Landon absolutely LOVES his baby sister and she adores him back. I am enjoying this affection for each other while it lasts.Last Saturday Landon and I baked some cookies together. He needed an apron just like Mommy, so we rigged one up. He was such a good little helper! The cookies turned out yummy and Landon even took some to daycare to share with his friends.
We got our first taste of snow last weekend as well. By the time Landon got all the gear on, he wasn't quite so thrilled about it. He did have fun playing outside with Daddy and helping shovel the driveway.
Addison had her 4 month doctor appointment with Dr. Fandel on Thursday. Here are her stats:
Height.....25 inches.....83rd percentile
Weight.....15 lbs. 3 oz......87th percentile
Head.....41 3/4 cm.....77th percentile
She is doing so well! Dr. Fandel continues to be super impressed by her social behaviors! She got two shots and one oral vaccine and only cried for a few seconds. What a little trooper! She gave us the okay to try solids whenever we are ready and of course I couldn't wait...so we tried the plain rice cereal last night for the first time.
She didn't quite know what to think and spit most of it back out. We'll keep trying once per day until she gets the hang of it.
She is also rolling over from her tummy to her back and is sooooo close to rolling from back to tummy. That darn arm just gets in the way! She is super talkative and loves loves loves to be held all the time still. She is such an affectionate baby and has a smile that could melt any heart. I am picturing her being our little socialite/cheerleader/prom queen/diva already!
A few side notes to share:
My team-teaching partner Carissa gave birth to her sweet little boy Cohen John on Tuesday morning. He is such a cute little pumpkin with perfect little features and lots of hair. He arrived ten days early and healthy as can be. I am super thrilled for her!
I survived this week of parent-teacher conferences! It gets to be a veryyyyyy long week with 32 conferences to squeeze in, but Carissa's sub (Nancy) and I made it through. I am looking forward to the short week and a wonderful Thanksgiving with family!
Darren is back in the swing of reffing again. He loves it and we really enjoy the extra cash with the holidays coming up. He is still enjoying his job and we are thankful every day that he is closer to home and appreciated for what he does.
Besides that, we are just gearing up for a busy couple of weekends with weddings and going to Fargo for Glur Family Christmas. I'm sure we'll have lots of pictures to share!
Take care!
