I can't believe...




Miss Addison likes to roll over in her crib and cause her Mommy a heart attack. She now perfers to sleep on her belly and can push herself up to look around. She has even gotten up on all fours a few times.... UGH

Family Heirloom



Here is the cradle my Dad made me when I was born. We cleaned it up a bit and put Addie in it. She must have thought it was cool, because she smiled the whole time she was in it. I guess she could feel her Grandpa's love.

3 Months Old





Since its SOOO hot in Phoenix right now we have been staying inside and doing whole lot of nothing. So here are some pictures of Addie being a cutie pie. She turned 3 months old on the 13th July. Robert and I are shocked how fast the time has gone by. We can't remember our lives without her, and we won't even what to try :)

There is no 3 months check up at the doctor's office, so we will wait till August 10, to see how big she is. She will also be geing a bunch of shots again on that day. So Robert is going with us to console both Addie and I.

First Plane Ride



Here is Addie on her first plane ride. We went to Chicago for a family reunion. She did a great job! We were lucky enough to have extra seats on the way to Chicago, so they let us bring her car seat. On the way home however it was an over sold flight, so she had to sit on our laps the whole way home. We also had an hour and a half delay coming home. So she was a real trooper and hung in there for almost 5 hours!

Baby Pashmina



Addie is a big "spitter-upper" & drowler, so we put these little burp clothes under her chin and wrap them around her shoulders. We call them her baby pashminas, since they remind us of those kind of wraps.

Bumbo Seat, what??




This is Addie trying out her Bumbo Seat, http://www.bumboseat.com/. It a foam seat that helps young infants sit up, while strengthing muscles. She also has being grabbing onto toys and honlding them on her own.

Bath time



Here is Addie at bath time. She's a bit unsure about the water for about the first 30 seconds and then after that she relaxes and really enjoys it. I can't wait for her to play with toys and such during bath time.

Happy Father's Day



Note Addie's shirt. She wore that today as a surprise to Robert. It was really cute. Robert really lucked out for Father's Day. He got a brand new grill. It really nice and we were in need of one. He also got a couple of shirts and a book.

2 Months Old


We were going to a pool party/BBQ for our friend Anthony's birthday. So I had Addie wear her hat, so she didn't get burned. We sat in the shade until it got too hot. She was a sweaty mess by the time we got home.

On Friday, she had her 2 month check up. She is doing great. She weighed 11lbs 6 oz. and was 23 inches long. She also had to get 4 shots. Addie and I cried and poor Robert had to pick up the pieces :) It was so sad, I told Robert he will always have to go with us. Its way TOO much for me to handle.

Lastest Family Photo

Here is Our Family!! This picture was taken outside after Mass. This picture was taken today.

7 Weeks Old





Robert and I had our first outing without Addie last night. We went to a dinner birthday party for our good friend Deb. Ron (bestman in our wedding) and his wife Teresa watched Addie. She did a great job. They said she is welcomed back anytime. They have a 3 year old daughter, Veronica. She was a big help to her Mommy, but wasn't so sure about sharing her Mommy's lap with another baby;)
I was a bit weepy when we left her, but after a glass of sangria, I was all better :) We were gone for about 3 hours, and that was enough for our first time away from her.

Birthing Class Reunion


Here is group shot form our birth class that we attending in January. Nathan (in carseat on chair) is almost three months old. Addie is next at 7 weeks old. And Alex (in the blue stripe outfit) is 5 weeks old. Our good friends are Jenn and Ben who are Alex's Mom and Dad. Stephanie, the blonde lady at the bottom was out doula. Jenny, the brunette is a maternity chiropractor, who observed our class.

6 week picture


She is all grown-up at 6 weeks old. She is smiling and chatting up a storm. Robert has been back to work for two weeks now. Addie and I have been shopping and out to lunch several times. We have finally gotten the hang of breast feeding, so that has helped us be more mobile.

Mother's Day & 1 Month Old


Ms. Addison is ready for Mass and Mother's Day. Robert and Addison got me a beautiful diamond cross necklace and earrings. And the most lovely hand written note from each of them. Who knew Addie could write ;) I was hoping to taking a picture of the two of us. But Addie had other plans, since she spit up on her dress as soon as we got home :(

I'm 3 weeks old already.... Can you believe it??


Here is Miss Addie 21 days old. Robert and I took her to the school where I used to teach, so that the kids could see her. The school was holding their annual Cinco de Mayo Fiesta, so it was a lot of fun with great food. It was a bit windy but the girl did really well. I of course forgot to take any pictures but here is one from this morning.
