Addison is 5 months old...

Today Addison is 5 months  old...
 

 

....she currently weighs 16 lbs.

(according to our bathroom scale)
 

....is around 26 inches long
(according to our tape measure)

.....she is a great eater, still having 7-8 oz bottles every 4 -5 hours plus we've added cereal to her diet this past month

....still a pretty good sleeper, taking her naps during the day and then crashing around 7:30/8:00 pm at night - which is a little earlier for my liking but she thinks it's time for bed. Then she's ready to get up and "play" around 4:00 am the next morning, which is a bit early for this Mommy!

....now sporting size 3 diapers

....is now wearing 9 month clothes, as of this past weekend since I finally had some time to get the next size clothes out

 

....loves to smile and is giggling more and more all the time

....is a "roller" it doesn't take her long and she is on her back and/or her tummy, I've even seen her try and get up on her knees a couple times in the last month already.....crazy!

 

....loves just about everybody still, hasn't hit that "stranger danger" stage yet!

....is still enjoying daycare, I think - this past Monday was the 1st time she gave me a "sad" face when I left...not sure what that was about :(

....celebrated Valentine's Day when our lil' Addi girl this past month, in which she received a few goodies from family members plus she gave her teacher's at daycare a fun lil' treat!

...had her 1st bowling experience with all the FUN lights this past month.

  

Happy 5 month birthday baby girl!

We love you!

 

 

Snapshot of you and your sister, she is always wanting a picture with you...

 

 

 

 

Together Tuesday - Week #8

This project was actually two nights of fun......both Monday and Tuesday night we worked on this cute lil' shamrock.  One night we painted and the next night we decorated!

 

Busy painting...

 

Natalie even decided to clean-up when she was done,

my bathroom was a lil' green for a little bit....she tired though!

 

On to decorating, don't you just love the face below?

I'm guessing this is when I told her she couldn't eat ALL the marshmallows!

 

Back to being happy....and busy!

 

The finished shamrock...

 

Ms. Addi just got to watch Natalie, but she loved it!

 

 

 

Sisters....

Sisters Snapshots....

 

 

 

 

Here are just a few "snapshots" of these silly sisters

over the past couple of months.  

It's so fun to see them together, I can tell that they love each other already!

 

 

 

Natalie is 2 1/2 already!

Today marks Natalie being 2 1/2 years old, I seriously can't believe how fast these last past 2 1/2 years have gone.  Out lil' Natalie girl is so funny and talking (and understanding) so much more these past couple of days, weeks and months....I guess I really noticed a change ever since she became a big sister back in September!  Here are just a few of the things I love about you Natalie:


-How much you talk and use your hands while doing it...


-Your singing - you know so many songs!


-The way you say your A-B-C's, it is the cutest!


-The way you love her sister, always worried about her!


-The fact that you love daycare!


-Recognize and can name all the kids in your class.


-The way you are oh so silly!


-The fact that you love to do puzzles and are so good at them!


-The way you play so well by yourself!


-The way you read books and show us the pages....it's so cute!
Your favourite books right now are (Brown Bear, Brown Bear & Five Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed)


-Love to be a helper to everybody :)


-Enjoy playing outside!


-Can't wait for craft time with Mommy!


-And finally the way you don't miss a THING!

In 6 short months this lil' girl will be 3 years old!

Together Tuesday - Week #7

Last night's activity....a rainbow, we're thinking St. Patrick's Day and Spring!
 

Let's just say we almost ran out of fruit loops for this fun lil' craft as

Natalie kept "snacking" on them as she was working on her rainbow. 

I forgot to take a picture of the finished project, sorry.....

now that it's dry it's hanging on her lil' craft hook in the living room!

Daddy's Lil' "SNOW" Helper!

Monday we got hit again with that four letter word we ALL love....

SNOW!

 

So after Daddy got home from work I bundled Natalie up and

sent her outside to help Daddy move all the snow off the driveway! 

She is a great lil' helper - inside and outside!

 

 

 

I love you to pieces....

and this is how the project was made....with lots and lots of love!

 

 

We love you to pieces!

 

 

 

Weekend of.....

love & snow...

Friday night we loved hanging out at Papa & Frannie's house, big kids ordered pizza and lil' kids made their own personal pizzas....they did such a great job!

 

 

Sunday afternoon we let Addi experience snow for the first time...inside!

 

Another weekend of fun!
