6 Month Pics

These are just a few of her newest pics.

She always has something in her mouth...

Lounging in my new chair.  Now, this is the life!

Addison has her very own big girl chair!

She was hamming it up big time and was loving her new chair!

Newer pictures of Addison...Finally!

I know I'm horrible at keeping this thing updated, but I'm going to try and make a concentrated effort to at least post updated pictures of Addison.  We'll see how it goes!

My first Mother's Day with Addy here!

Of course I kind of celebrated Mother's Day last year as I was about 2 months pregnant with Addison, but this year was soooo much better with her here.  Nick was in Vegas last year right before Mother's Day so he surprised me a new Coach purse he'd picked out for me while he was there.  This year he surprised me with a sterling silver charm bracelet from Tiffany's along with a charm of the letter "A" and one that's a heart that says 'I Love You'!!!  

We had some of my family over for a bbq and fun with the new Wii on Saturday evening and this afternoon we met some of Nick's family down at the Power and Light District for lunch.  It was a nice weekend with family and Nick was wonderful (he usually is anyway, but he was extra wonderful this weekend) about helping out and making sure I was taken care of.  

Addison is now eating rice cereal with some fruit mixed in it.  She's not a big fan of pears, but is managing to keep bananas down.  She can also put her bottle in her mouth all by herself now and is eager to feed herself with the spoon.  Cereal time usually ends up with us battling her for the spoon because she'll grab onto it for dear life and boy, she's got one heck of a grip on her!  

She's always been a cuddly baby, but here over the past couple of days she's started to suck on our faces when we're holding her...I think she's trying to kiss us, but she might just be trying to knaw on us since she's started teething.  I'm going to try my hardest to update this more frequently, but in the meantime you can check out some pics of her and I on Mother's Day!

National Champions...Woooooohoooooooo!!!!

I'm speechless for once, what can I say?  Nick had pretty much given up on our guys, but I know they play their best under pressure so I was still holding out hope that we'd pull through.  They did just that tonight with a little help from some poor coaching strategy on Memphis' part.  Don't get me wrong, KU played a good game, but Memphis should've fouled us before Chalmers was able to shoot (and make) that HUGE 3 pointer.  That shot is what gave us the momentum to dominate overtime and it was our game from then on out!!!  This game will go down in history for numerous reasons.  I want to hear what Coach Williams has to say...did you notice that he was sporting KU gear?  (c;  Congrats to our Jayhawks and Coach Self!!!!!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

What a game tonight!!!!  I'm so glad we ("we" means KU) are on our way to the finals and am pumped for Monday night now!!!!  As many of you know, I'm a die hard Jayhawk fan and as you can see from the pictures of Addy, I'm working on turning her into one too.  What a great group of athletes those Jayhawks are!  If I had to pick a favorite player, it would be Darnell Jackson #32 because he's made the biggest turnaround from last season to this season...it also helps that he's easy on the eyes.  My adrenaline is pumping and I need to turn it down a notch so I can get to bed now.  I'm going to go dream of what it will be like to be the National Champions...

Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's official...we are reclaiming our bedroom!

Okay, so we've finally taken the plunge and put Addison in her room at night(for good this time-I promise).  She could care less where she sleeps, but Mommy and Daddy have been holding back on putting her up in her big girl bed because we're paranoid freaks.  She's spent one night up there about a month ago and it went really well so we shouldn't have anything to worry about, right?  Please!  We layed her down, kissed her goodnight, and I turned on her cd player only to have Nick go behind me and turn it WAY down to where you couldn't even make out the music. He said he did this so he could hear her on the monitor.  I explained that we'd still be able to hear her breathing and farting loud and clear on the monitor and ended up convincing him to turn it back up.  

Nick and I sat here in our room for a while listening to her on the monitor chatting and making some squeaking noise up in her crib.  Now it sounds like she's asleep and I can hear her breathing which is reassuring, but it's driving me crazy not to be able to just look over and see her breathing.  I think it's time to get one of those video monitors so we can ease our minds a little!  

Ha!!!  I guess Nick isn't losing any sleep over not having her down here because as I'm typing this I looked over at him and he's PASSED OUT.  Go figure!

Addison at 3 Months Old

Addison is growing like a weed! Nick and I took her to get her pictures taken the day she turned 3 months old. She was quite the poser as you can see. The top picture where she's on her back is one of her natural poses...she was put on her belly for a picture, but decided to roll over onto her back and put her hand behind her head. She's weighing in at a whopping 12 lbs. 10 oz. as of today. She still loves her bath time and is a little chatter box. We just can't get enough of her and are amazed at how much she changes from day to day! She goes back to the doctor the end of April for her next round of immunizations so I'll give an update afterwards.
