Addison accomplishments so far:
sucking her thumb, holding onto toys, has conversations with everyone, smiles all the time, cries at the top of her lungs if you wait too long to feed her, loves her big sister and magnum too, and wait for it...... has been sleeping through the night for the past 2 weeks now!!! mommy and daddy love it! But what we love most is that she is a happy baby and always greets us with a smile when we go and get her from her crib.

We love you baby girl.

Santa visit

We had success with Gwen and Santa this year!!! She couldn't wait to go and sit on his lap and tell him what she'd like for Christmas. And she said..... pirates??? What the heck...pirates??? Off to find some eye patches to put in her stocking. Addison was just happy to be there! Ha

gingerbread house.

hmmm a good idea or bad? Well, we attempted our first gingerbread house this year while my parents were in town. Gwen loved it, so I would say it was a successful project. Daddy and Grandpa need some more practice on icing the house. As you can see in the pictures I think more ended up on the counter and Gwen.

Thanksgiving

div>Our first holiday in our new home was great. My parents and grandmother drove out for the weekend. We endulged ourselves way too much with food, movies, shopping, and lots of laughter.
