Christmas Pictures

Addison fell asleep on the way to Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's house.






She was too warm in her dress, so she wore a bib and her bloomers!




















Taking a little nap.










Sound asleep when we got home from Church.

Cookies and milk for Santa.

Santa came! He left all of Addison's gifts at Grandma and Papa Lucas' house.

Addison got lots of books in her stocking!

Addison was too hungry to smile for a picture.
She was so angry she kicked off her right shoe.

Smiles for Daddy!

Addison "Talking"

Addison has been talking all the time lately. I finally got one of her conversations on video. You have to pause the music down below to hear the sound. Enjoy!

Here are some recent pictures we thought you'd like to see.

Addison LOVES taking baths!

Addison loves the puppy Papa Lucas gave her at the hospital. The puppy was with her all during our hospital stay and now sits on her changing table so she talks to him and plays with him every day.

We went to a Christmas party yesterday- Addison got to sit on Santa's lap for the second time! She left his lap with a handful of his beard!

I finally put up Addison's wall art in her room. We're really happy with it and love how it looks.

Thanksgiving and 2 months old!

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We traveled to Tallahassee and spent Thanksgiving with my parents, Aaron's parents, Amy, Chris and Isabella. Of course the girls went on their traditional day after Thanksgiving shopping trip which included getting Christmas pictures taken, seeing Santa, and shopping! Addison enjoyed sitting in Santa's lap, although she never really looked at him. Isabella, Addison's big cousin, showed her how it was done first. She told Santa what she wanted, then we put Addison on his lap with her. It was very cute.

It's hard to believe Addison will be 2 months old tomorrow. We took her for her check up and shots on Wednesday. She was a trooper! Aaron held her hands while I looked on. She screamed, but not as badly as we had imagined. She recovered quickly as soon as Aaron could pick her up. To our surprise, she was her happy self all day on Wednesday! We were expecting a crabby baby, but she definitely surprised us! She has been sleeping through the night about every other night. If we put her to bed around 830 or 900, she usually doesn't wake up until 500! She held that routine for about 5 nights straight, but now it's about every other night. She now weighs a whopping 11 pounds 6 ounces and is 22 1/4 inches long. She is growing and changing so much lately. She's no longer able to wear newborn clothes- now she's into the 0-3 months!

We are so excited to celebrate Addison's first Christmas. We look forward to seeing family and friends in the upcoming weeks. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Addison's first playdate with her friend, Melanie

6 Weeks Old~ Addison's firsts

We traveled to Tallahassee for the Boston College football game this past weekend. Addison has been inconsistently smiling here and there, but on Thursday morning when we put her in the car to head to Tallahassee, she started smiling and hasn't stopped since! She smiled all during a shopping trip to the mall on Thursday and even laughed at herself in the mirror in the fitting room.

On Saturday evening, Addison experienced her first tailgate. The weather was rather windy and chilly, so she stayed bundled up in her stroller while we had a fun time with friends. Aaron went to the game while Addison and I went back to Amy's house with her and Isabella. Enjoy the pictures! Can't believe she's 6 weeks old today!

Video

Isabella wanted to sing a song to help Addison go to sleep. This was taken in Tallahassee on Saturday morning. Isabella is such a good big cousin to Addison. We can tell Addison loves her- just watch how she stares at Isabella while she sings to her.

5 weeks old!

Where has the time gone?! Addison is 5 weeks old today. Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks. Her baby acne has started to clear up. We took her for a follow up with a Cardiologist regarding her heart murmur and he is not concerned about the opening. He said it's most likely to close up on it's own because it is very small. We took a trip to Tallahassee this weekend. Aaron went to the game, but Addison and I hung out with Amy, Chris and Isabella. It's so amazing to have Addison in our lives. She is such a blessing to us and we feel so lucky. She continues to bring us more happiness than we could ever imagine. Enjoy the pictures and the video.

Happy Halloween!

Here are a few pictures. It was difficult taking these, because Aaron was at work and Addison was getting sleepy. She had a hard time staying upright in the chair. We are adjusting well but have had a few bumps in the road. Addison has a rash on her face and neck (which doesn't seem to bother her, but bothers us because it looks so red and bumpy), possible reflux, and a heart murmur. We go back to her pediatrician on Monday for her 4 week check up and then to the cardiologist on Thursday at All Children's in St. Pete. We might take her to a dermatologist next week if her skin doesn't improve. Other than that, we really can't complain! She wakes up every 3-4 hours during the night and goes back to sleep without much trouble. She's been a great baby and so much fun. We hope you have a Happy Halloween!

Caught Sleeping

Addison was 3 weeks old yesterday! Time sure does fly by! She is doing great- she has gained just shy of 1 pound per week. She left the hospital at 6lbs 5.5 oz and now weighs 8lbs. 7 oz!! Here are some pictures of Addison taking a nap with Mommy, Daddy, and Papa. I will post some other pictures soon, I promise... just wanted to get a few up here. Sorry I've been slacking!
