New tricks

This week Addilynn learned a couple new tricks and had a couple firsts! She tried green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, and squash this week. She was very shocked the first time she tasted real food!

The night we fed her carrots or sweet potatoes I can't remember, she taught herself to spit. I got a shower of orange and she thought it was pretty funny! She does it all the time now. She also has been chewing on her bottom lip which she learned from her dad (I hate it by the way). She is so funny. She is also trying to teach herself to crawl but she is not coordinated enough yet it is more like a seal flop. It is still pretty cute though.

Tomorrow is Kellsi's bachelorette party. I am excited to go but also sad to be so far from baby. Everyone says it is good to get away every once in awhile but it is so hard! She is going to a football game with aunt Shelly and hanging out with her till about three then my mom is picking her up for a sleepover.

Last but not least, we are starting to teach Addilynn sign language. We will see if it works and how long we stick with it! She probably wont make her first sign until she is about six months but we are starting early. She has been ahead of the game in everything else so why not communication?

I love my dad

This week was crazy! Picture day UGH... I am never going to Sears again. That lady which was the same lady as last time was crazy. She couldn't get Addilynn to smile. If you have ever been around her that is not hard, and she wouldn't let my sister help. She kept making her get back. The only smiles we got out of her were because of Auntie Doris. Then she put her fingers in her mouth. DURING COLD AND FLU season she put her nasty dirty bacteria filled fingers in my precious angels mouth. That was the end of it. I hated her after that I spent $50 there and left. I shouldn't have even done that but I wanted to get a couple pictures at least. We want Nanny M (Maria) she would do a better job taking pictures than that stinky old lady.

We had to say goodbye to great great grandma and grandpa Harris yesterday. They are going home to Indio and not returning next summer. Hopefully we will get to go there and visit. GGgma Harris will miss Addilynn and Addilynn will miss her. She is so calm around her. She says it is because she has had more practice!! She got to fall asleep and eat in her gggma Harris' arms one last time before they left.

We had Paige's last soccer game this week too. Auntie P has said she is done forever with soccer. Since you can't see me I will explain what I'm doing when I say that. My fist is thrusting in the air approximately 5 times and I have a giant grin on my face.

Sorry all you soccer lovers but my heart is set on volleyball and I can't wait to see her play! After her game we went out for a celebratory dinner at the Junk. There goes my diet because you can't go to Junction and eat a salad it's just not possible.

No home games for Auntie Jaylee or Uncle Dj this week maybe next week.

Today is football day again. I can't decide if I'm excited or not. I do love my friends but I like to sleep and be lazy on Sundays too!

Here are a few pictures from this week. Hope you enjoy

All dressed up going to Auntie P's last soccer game EVER!!! She had many layers on so she wouldn't freeze!

Headband made by me that she wore during some of her pictures. Next one I make the flower will be a little smaller but I still thought it was cute

After eating her morning snack. Her face kills me!!! Family picture before heading to Clarkia Saturday. Addilynn is 3 1/2 months old

Another homemade headband. I love them but a lot of family members don't.

Sleeping in her seat on the way to Clarkia to visit family.

My friend Beau

This weekend Beau came to play with Addilynn and this time she was actually awake when he got here! We had lots of fun taking pictures of the two of them together. I can't wait to see how they both grow and interact! Addilynn has been pretty cranky the last couple days and we think she might be teething. She also is puking a lot more than usual which isn't much fun. We both go through a lot of outfits in a day! The pediatrician says it has to get worse before it gets better so we will continue to wait for the better. In the meantime we just watch and make sure she is gaining weight still. She has been rolling over like mad lately too. The first time was Sept 26th and it was very challenging for her. She grunted and tried for about 20 seconds before she flipped over from her back to stomach and now she does it all the time. Twice today when I was trying to put her down for her nap I went in to check on her all I could see through the crack in the door was her little head bobbing up and down! I don't think we will be able to keep her on her back to sleep for much longer!

Addilynn has gotten very spoiled by her daddy! She has him wrapped around her finger and whenever she cries he stands up with her!

She grew ears over the weekend!

Learning to sit up now she was propped in the corner but kept leaning out and grabbing for her toys! She loves playing with toys

My little rainbow bright!

What did I do mom??? He isn't happy about this pose!



This is MY Beau! Stand back people!!!

1st taste of cereal

The last couple weeks have been pretty busy. Addilynn had her first taste of cereal and she liked it until it got cold that is! She started gagging herself once it got cold. She also hasn't realized that it is food and we can't shovel it in fast enough. She also started going to the babysitter which is working out great. I miss her on my lunch breaks, but she really loves Amanda so I am so happy we have her. We have been going to games like crazy and went camping this weekend for Lisa's birthday. We had a blast. Everyone and their dog is sick in this town so I really hope princess doesn't get it. Time is flying and She is 3 months old now. I just can't believe it.

11 weeks

1. 2, 3
4 5

Well lots has been going on and I don't even know where to start! Addilynn is 11 weeks old now and she is getting huge! We have so much fun with her and it amazes me everyday how much she is growing and changing right before our eyes. This weekend she witnessed her first PBdays and did great she slept most of the time and even slept through the fireworks. We watched them from my boss' house so it wasn't quite as loud. She met her best friend Beau for the first time and slept through most of that too! She has been really sleepy lately I think she is growing. She got to meet another great great grandparent her papa Buzz.

Auntie Jaylee got to babysit overnight yes... I left Addilynn for the first time. It was really hard but I only cried three times so I think that is pretty good. It sucked but I had a blast and I knew she was in good hands. My stepmother tells me Dustin and I need to spend time together so we don't forget about "us" I just think that is her subtle way of stealing my baby!!! :) They all love her very much and I guess I will share once or twice!

busy busy weekend

This weekend was jam packed with exciting new adventures for our little princess. We started off the weekend by going to her first fair (and daddy says it was his too!). She was asleep for most of it and it took way longer than it should have. This is because we were strolling a celebrity! We would make it two steps and then someone would stop us... whether it was a friend relative, or patient they all wanted to take a peek at little miss Addilynn! After the fair we went to Pete and Shena's for dinner and caught up on wedding plans and life in the big SM!!! I'm loving having a bestie in town again!

Saturday was another family reunion on Dustin's side. We got to visit with his mom's side of the family and Addilynn got her first five generation photo.

Pictured are Dustins uncle Dale (who was filling in for Kari's dad) Dustin, Kari (dustins mom), Evelyn (dustins great grandma where it all started!)and Addilynn. It was nice to catch up with family we don't get to see very often.

After the reunion we went up to camp and stayed. It was a blast. Rick played his guitar and all of us sang around the campfire. The hit list included songs like Hills of Idaho (One that rick wrote himself!), hotel California, In Color, Signs (he does that one to please the sines family), Wanted, and many more I just can't remember them.

Sunday, Addilynn went on her first 4wheeler ride. She loved it! Dustin and I were stressed but she had no clue and loved every minute of it! We are thinking about doing it again next weekend we had so much fun. She was very sleepy last night when we got home which was perfect!

Yes that little orange bundle is the baby this was on our way home it got pretty chilly! we weren't expecting such a long ride but auntie P had an extra sweatshirt for the little bundle who was the only one sweating!

This is the number two picture for those of you who have seen the first it was taken memorial weekend when i was very very pregnant! Now in place of a belly is a pink bonnet!

Flash burn!!! I just wanted a picture of her in her hat and couldn't get one close up! Changing her pants on the back of the 4wheeler! not quite a changing table but it worked!

Chilling in my dads 4wheeler box she loved all the stopping! she got to see lots of things and kick back and relax a lot!

A lot of new firsts this weekend!

Back to work again!

We have been very busy this last week! Addilynn is 8 weeks old now and is a kick in the pants! She has learned how to laugh and smiles all the time! Everyday she amazes me and gets so big. This weekend we went to Lewiston for Denise and Eric's wedding and Addilynn got to meet another great great grandma. Grandma Eldora. She was pretty fussy at first but in the end she ended up getting to hold a smiley baby after a little food. Boy oh boy the things you can do with food! We put together her bouncy saucer and she loves it also she played in her jumperoo and loves it too! She is still a little too small for the saucer but since the weight limit is 25 lbs we thought we should get her into it or she would be too big before she turned 4 mos!
On a sad note, I went back to work on Monday. I am pretty torn because I remembered how much I love my job, but I miss my little baby so so much everyday it sucks! Each day gets better but I just think about how much I am going to miss. I also think that I am only going to get to see her for around 4-5 hours a day which makes me cry. Everyone says it wont be hard like this forever but I'm still waiting. The good news is I have four weeks of only working three days so that will be awesome!
Today we have to take Addilynn over to CDA to the pediatrician because of her belly button I wanted a second opinion because they keep telling me it is fine even through the seepage, bleeding, and stench (yes she was bleeding out of her belly button gross and scary HUH!). Now she has something poking out of it that reminds me of intestine. So if it is still "just fine" then I will give up but to me she shouldn't still be having issues with it after 8 weeks of life.
We will see. I'm sure I am being an over reacting mother again!
Here are some pictures from the last week:
