Happy Thanksgiving!!

Last Sunday we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Sudlows. Addison was a great sport and slept through dinner.






Today we are enjoying a quiet day at home. The temperature is hovering around 35 degrees and we are getting our first snowfall of the winter! No accumulation thankfully, but enough to introduce Addison to this icky wet precipitation. She was thrilled as you can tell.

Two months old!

Wow is Addison growing up fast!! At her two month appointment she was up to 12 pounds, 1 ounce and 23 1/4 inches long. (Which was a 2 pounds 5 ounces heavier and 1.75 inches longer in the month since her last appointment.) We're pretty sure that she's well fed at this point! I'm hoping that the growing slows down so that she can actually wear all of the pretty clothes that she's received. I had to box all the 0-3 month items that no longer were long enough and were a bit too tight in the shoulders.

Visit from Uncle Courtney & Nana

We had visitors the second week of November! They brought along hugs and smiles and gifts! We had a really great visit and can't wait to do it again in December for Addison's first Christmas.

Nap time

Here they are - the princess and her guard kitty. Addison has been sleeping in her crib for the last week and we have to keep her door shut all the time. We are quite positive that Pocket would get in the crib and sleep right next to her.

Visit from Pappy and Miss Karen!

Pappy and Miss Karen (who hasn't chosen her title yet) came to visit Addison the week before Halloween. We had a fun time together and carved our pumpkins one night. We received quite a few compliments on the pumpkins from the neighborhood kids.

Addison's first Halloween!!

October 31st was a beautiful Sunday afternoon with sun and wind. By late afternoon, the temperatures were much colder and Addison had to be totally bundled up to go outside for her first trick or treat experience. She visited 3 neighbors and raked in about 6 candy bars. Not bad for a first experience! Grandmom and Pops brought over a gift of bath toys and teethers. Aunt Christine and Uncle Todd brought along the cutest Northface boots. Tucker wore his second choice costume: Thomas the Tank. The kid count was significantly higher this year at 62!!

Pumpkin Patch

Addison picked her first pumpkin!! (Well, we picked Addison's first pumpkin.) It was a perfect crisp and cool fall day. She had her eyes closed through most of the experience. We're not sure whether she was sleeping or keeping the wind off of her eyes. We met a 2 month old little boy who was just precious. It's amazing to see how different she will be in just another month.

One month old!

It's official, Addison is one month old! Here she is, quite content after a fantastic meal prepared by Mama. The pediatrician gave her an A+ rating at her appointment this week. She weighed in at 9.75 pounds and measured 21.5 inches in length and 14.75 inches in head circumference. We are watching her grow and change every day.

Thank you!

We just wanted to send out a giant "Thank you" to everyone for the well wishes and gifts of prayer, clothes, food, and other miscellaneous baby items. We are so happy to have such wonderful family and friends. We can't wait to see you all in the near future and show off Addison!

One week old

Addison celebrated being one week old on the 22nd with Dad on the couch. He read her another chapter in the vegetable story that he's been writing. She toasted with a little milk, and gave us lots of smiles.

First social call

We went to visit Grandmom on Tuesday. Mom and baby (mostly Mom) needed a trip outside of the house. Grandmom made us dinner and cuddled and snuggled with Addison while Mom and Dad got to eat together. We have been blessed with gifts of home cooked meals since we've been home. We had a really nice evening out.

First sponge bath

Well really this was her third bath, but we're pretending this was the first. She doesn't mind it too much, she actually likes it when Dad gives her the bath. She's such a happy baby!

Around the house

Just a few photos taken over the last 8 days. Mom's had some rough nights and some smooth ones. I've been napping during the day. Greg has been home all week which is so wonderful. We're not looking forward to his return to work next week. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Taking home our Bundle!

We came home on Friday with Addison. She slept for the whole car ride. It was a gorgeous Fall day with blue skies and quite a breeze. We took her on a tour of her house and introduced her to her cats. Pocket was very interested (as expected), whereas Scratch just seemed annoyed. We were ecstatic to be home and able to enjoy the outside air again.

Addison Paige arrived on September 15th!!

We are so truly blessed and happy to announce the arrival of our perfect baby girl!! She was born on September 15th at 5:51 PM. She weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces and measured 19.75 inches in length. The delivery went smoothly and we came home last Friday. We are so in love with Addison!
