Chomp Chomp!

No wonder Addi has been waking so often at night.....she's teething! Her bottom left tooth broke through two days ago (4mo 12days old), and the right side quickly followed today. She's a little ahead of Dakota, he didn't pop his first tooth until 5mo exactly.

Oh, she rolled over for the first time two days ago too. She's getting so big already!

Auntie Rachael is just awesome!

Addison received a wonderful package from Maine today. Rachael knitted three beautiful skirties. Addison loves them! Thank you Rach!

Finally, new pics!

Sorry for the long delay in updating the blog! It's been a very frustrating month of poor internet connections - super slow if it even worked at all. Only took two full weeks, SEVEN phone calls, and threats to yank the dish off the roof to get the WildBlue service tech out here. He replaced a part and was gone in less than half an hour. I'm a much happier camper now!

Can you believe Addison is four months old already? I can't! She's still a little chunk, weighing in at 14lb 14oz just last week. Still at about 75% for weight and 50% for height on the charts. My good sleeper has disappeared though - she's gone from sleeping all night to waking twice in the past month. Hopefully I'll be able to get her sleeping long stretches again soon. Oh yeah....can't forget this milestone (for me!). Addi FINALLY has accepted a bottle a few days ago! YAY! I was starting to think it was going to be a really long hunting season.....

Dakota is doing well too. Words are coming at random times. He'll throw something in clear as day in the middle of a bunch of jibber jabber. He's enrolled in a Mother's Day Out program starting early September with other kids his age. I'm hoping the social activities help him learn to speak more.

On to the pics!

Dakota is still being super sweet with Addison. He's always asking to give her kisses and play with her:


This was way too cute! Addi started getting fussy, so Stacy started mocking / agitating her. So she started pouting. I can just see her now doing this saying "But Daddy....."

"Okay Mom...why am I wearing a skirt?"

Here's the happy girl! Now that we have her diet issues resolved she really is a happy, easy baby. Gosh I hope I didn't jinx it by typing that....

And a rare shot of Dakota smiling and not running from the camera. It's been super hard to get good pictures of him lately. The only time he's not running straight out is when he's sleeping.

The tub keeps him a little contained for a good picture. This is the only decent one out of about ten tries!
Hope everyone is doing well!
