4 months old

Image
Addison is now 4 months old! She turned 4 months old last Thursday, the 21st. So, for her 4 month old birthday I decided to run/walk in a 5k! I am so crazy for doing this! Just so you know I did finish but I had to walk a good bit. It was an adventure race in Spruce Pine, NC. We ran through the river 4 times and run uphill for a mile. On Saturday, Addison discovered how to put her feet in her mouth. Now she is doing it all the time! Addison had her 4 month old doctor's appt today. She weighed 14.1 pounds and was 26 inches long. She is in the 50% in weight and the 100% in height. She got four shots today and she did not care for them too much. She cried for about 15 minutes, I was heartbroken. We are going to Atlanta this weekend with the grandparents and are real excited.

Almost 4 months old

Aunt Pat with Miss Addison at Rythym on the River in Greenville, SC I was in the kitchen when Addison pulled the blue ring. I was so proud of her when I heard it make the noise once she pulled it. Now she pulls it all the time. Addison laying with her Aunt Amanda's three Basset Hounds I don't even think they noticed she was there. Addison and her thumb. She knows exactly where her thumb is now. Well I can't believe Addison is almost 4 months old on Thursday! She has had a few milestones since the last post. She turned over on her tummy a few weeks ago for the first time. I didn't get a picture of it b/c I was too slow. She has discovered her thumb! I have come to the realization that I can't be at her side 24 hours of the day so I am trying to get over her sucking her thumb. Her hand/eye coordination is increasing. She is grabbing for things such as my hair, things on the table in front of her and her dragon flies on her bouncer chair. She is increasing the time ...

I thought this picture was hilarious! Addison fell asleep after we spent so much time putting her bathing suit on and sunscreen all over her. It wore her out.

Beach Trip

Well, I know I am about 3 weeks behind but I have been adjusting to being back at work. I wanted to write about our trip to Wrightsville Beach with my mom, dad, sister and her husband. We had a great time! We mainly just slept late, went to the pool or beach and then came back to the condo and layed around till supper. It was very relaxing. Addison did wonderful! She went down for her naps really well and was very happy the whole time. It was the first time we used the Pack-in-play for her to sleep in and she did really well. Josh wasn't able to go the beach with us because he unfortunately had to work. Addison and I really missed him. Addison got to put her feet in the ocean for the first time! I think she is going to really love the beach like her mom. Amanda and mama were able to spend a lot of time with Addison and I think they were sad to leave her at the end of the week. We came back from the beach on Tuesday, July 6th and I started work that Wednesday the 7th. I was a little...

Back at Work

Well I can't believe Addison is 3 months old! Or 13 weeks whichever you prefer!!! I am back at work and have been for 2 weeks now. It has been tough being back to work without Addison for 10 hours of the day. I haven't written on here for a while due to trying to spend as much time with Addison as I can. I will get some pictures on here this weekend. I have to write about Addison's first beach trip over July 4th week.

Two Month Check Up

Addison had her two month check up today. She weighs 11 pounds, 11 ounces and is 24.9 inches long. She is in the 75th percentile for weight and the 95th percentile for length. The doctor said she was quite talkative for a 2 month old. She was gooing and awing at the doctor. I only had two questions for the doctor today unlike the last two times where I have had a whole page. Addison is gaining more head and body control each day. I took Addison to Bible Study last night and she did very well. I had her on my lap most of the time and she had fun watching the other girls. Over all she is quite a content baby.
