3 Month Pictures

We took Addison to Target, before Christmas, to get her 3 month pictures taken. We also wanted to have a family picture taken. We did Addison's individual shots first and by the time we tried to get family pictures she was crying and none of them turned out. I am glad that some of her individual shots turned out well. Some of these were just goofy, so I had to share them. I wanted to get some with the white background, but in everyone of those shots her tounge was sticking out, or she was drooling. It was quite an experience trying to get her to smile.

My sister called this the Jabba the Hut pose. She was just warming up to the camera.

I think that the flash caught her by suprise in this shot. And what a bad angle. Her chin is not that big.

I loved this one.

She thought her arms tasted yummy!

Nice drool

This was probably my favorite shot. Addison has started to giggle and it is so cute!

Holidays

On New Years Eve we stayed at home and enjoyed great food and games. Addison almost stayed up until midnight with us. We finally conquered the game Pandemic, thanks to Katie's roommate Liz. (We had been playing it wrong and never would have won). New Years Day we have our traditional Swedish breakfast (thanks to the Dahl family for starting the tradition). Then we sat around all day and played games. It was so nice to have Travis home that entire day. He has been so busy at work putting in 70+ hours each week at his jobs. So we love it when he has a day off.

Christmas morning little elf Addie woke up the family. We love having her as a part of our family. I can't believe how fast she has grown. We have packed away so much that she can no longer use already. My families new name for her is fatty Addie. Hopefully it won't stick.

Santa

Santa came to our ward Christmas party. I was excited to have Addison have her first experience sitting on his lap. I thought that she would do great, because she still will go to anyone, but she looked like she was going to cry. At least she did not scream like the little girl that went before her did. We will see how she does next year.

Blessing

Addison was blessed on December 6. It was such a great day. Tons of our family was able to attend the blessing and we appreciate their love and support. I am glad that our little chunkster was not to heavy for everyone to hold. I wanted Addison to wear the blessing dress that my mom and I had both worn, but it was far to small for her. So the day before the blessing I had to go find one that would fit her. We love our beautiful girl and are so glad to have her in our family!Check out Addison's cheeks in this picture.

This was Travis's best smile in all our pictures.

Chunkster

Addison recently went in for her two month check-up. We know that she had gotten heavier, but we had no idea how much she had grown! She went from being in the 7th percentile for her weight when she was born, to the 82 percentile at two months! She has already doubled her birth weight. She now weighs 12.3 pounds. She was also 77% for her head and height. Check out her belly in this picture. We love our little girl. I have already had to pack up lots of her clothes. It makes me so sad. She is growing way to fast, plus her clothes are so cute I wanted her to be able to wear them more than once.

Travis

As many of you know I do not function well on little sleep. So Travis has been amazing helping out with the night shifts. The poor guy is more tired than I am, but he doesn't complain. I typically will only take an hour shift and then pass Addison off to Travis. Then Travis will take a 2-3 hour shift before waking me. He is an amazing husband and he loves being a dad. So I caught a few pictures of Travis sleeping wherever he could. At my Grandma's house on the floor

This is Travis' favorite outfit for Addison. Travis loves being a Dad!

Smile

We love having Addison in our family! We can't believe how much she has changed since she was born. She is such a happy girl when she is awake. She still sleeps much of the day and then is up for the majority of the night. That is why I am blogging at 3 am. When she is awake she smiles tons. We took multiple pictures today trying to catch her smile. (Since I am not very computer savvy these pictures are all sideways).

We finally caught a smile.
