5 months

Dear sweet Addison, you are so very loved.
I adore this little girl so much, and can't get enough cuddles or kisses. 
Addie weighs 15 lbs 3 oz and is 25.5'' long
She is almost sitting on her own, but really likes to throw herself backward on the ground, hence the pillow wall :) She loves rolling, and I quite often find her rolled into a corner, or rolled into the middle of the hard floor, just content and happily kicking away. She scares me sometimes with how mellow she is. I will find her stuck underneath furniture, and she just smiles at me without a care in the world. She lets me know when she needs something, and loves to coo at me. She especially comes alive once her sister is in bed, and she knows she has mommy and daddy to herself. We cherish our one on one time with her. Nothing is sweeter than seeing your kids interact though. Renne is loving watch Addie grow and learn new things, and she is very protective of her little sister. She will quite often come running to me and say "MOM! Addie is awake, go get her!"she can hardly wait to see her after her nap.



Addie has these adorable little "praying hands". They are  almost always clasped together, held tight into her chest. 

always chewing on her hands this one





Ok, so this is a little side-note: I am the only in my family with "Low eyes" as Tim calls them, eyes like my Dad's. My eyes are almond shaped and are very dark brown, and i've always thought they weren't as beautiful as the big blue eyes my siblings have. I remember as a young girl feeling special that I was different, but always thought my eyes were ugly. When Addie was born I immediately fell in love with her dark beautiful, piercing eyes. She was perfect. When Tim told me her eyes were just like mine, I started to cry. I hadn't even considered her beauty was from me, since her eyes are actually Hazel. It's amazing what you learn to love about yourself by loving your children. She is a gift in so many ways.
We love you sweetie. Now just please stay a baby forever.

4 months!

Little Addie J is almost 5 months, but here is her 4 month old post :) 
Just some quick updates on this cutie pie:
Weighs 13 pounds, 12 oz.
She is 24.8 inches long
She is still in 3-6 month clothes, but filling them out more and more.
She is a very good girl, and has been sleeping through the night for the past few weeks!! I feel amaaaaazing! It makes a huge difference in how much energy I have during the day. Thank you baby girl!! She is such a wonderful baby, I am soooo grateful she's easy going. She is such a sweet, tender little girl. She is sensitive too, and when she's sad she has the most heart breaking cry. It's so so sad. When I took her for her shots she BALLED. It was horrible. Renne always took shots like a champ, and hardly cried. But Addie was as disaster and in the waiting room afterwards, I had a few people tell me they wanted to cry with her. I usually keep it together pretty good, but I did get pretty teary eyed after ten minutes of it. Poor little girl. :( Renne was so concerned. I told her Addie's medicine hurts, but its ok, and it will help her. She kept saying "Addie, it's ok. Medicine hurts. It's ok" Those heart melting moments just don't get old.

I could seriously kiss her cheeks all day long. I'm so obsessed with her. 

She makes my snapchats way cuter! Thanks Ads
We look alike, no?

Addison is smiling all the time these days! She is so interactive now, I love it! She will start giggling when I make silly faces at her or even when I just look at her and smile. She is extremely ticklish. She laughs when I gently tickle her armpits or her neck. It's the cutest thing. 

She is chewing on her hands and fingers constantly. She loves her hands up close by her face. Sometimes it looks like she's praying its adorable. 


 
I mean, common! 
She literally falls asleep anywhere! Quite often I will be putting Renne down, or helping her with something, and I leave Addie on the floor or in her bouncy seat, and i will come back and she is fast asleep, even during all of the noise and chaos, no blanket, no soother, nothing. She loves to be cuddled and I wish I had more opportunities to snuggle my little bug. i just can't even...

her worried face. kills me

Those chubby arms!! Love them.

We are so blessed to have this girl in our life. Thank you Addison for choosing our family!!
