Colorado or Bust

Well, Robert, Addie and I went to Colorado to visit Grandma and Pop-Pop Jankovich. It was to be a surprise for Mom, but we blew it a day before we left. So here are some pictures from her first trip to Colorado. Yes, that is a real BEAR. It was about 20 feet away from the car. Robert spotted it, as we were pulling up to the condo in Snowmass.

Bored and nothing to do but try some peaches

"Aunt" Jenn and I were bored one night, so we thought we would have Alex and Addison try some solid food. Just a little taste to see if they would like it.....

As you can see neither of them were fans. I guess we will try something a bit more bland like ceral in a few months.

4 Months Old

Sorry for the delay in getting these posted. It's been a crazy few weeks. Addison had her 4 month check up on August 10th. Here are her Stats:

Length: 25 inches
Weight: 15 lbs 11 oz

She is going really great. Dr. Martin said she is very healthy and she is beginning the teething process. Her gums are getting wider which indicates the teeth are moving up thru the gums. I can't feel anything yet..but I check all of the time. Here she is sitting in her Exersauer, she looks like she is laid back and hanging out.

Other pictures of her and her new toy

Addie's new toy

Here is the Addie's new toy. She is 16 weeks old today and the box said it was good from 4 months and up. Its a bit big for her, but she can reach all the toys and she played in it for a long time beforeI took her out of it.

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

Addie's first professional pictures

Here are a few of our favorites.

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.

The Chicago Sights

"The Bean" at Milliumium Park

Addie, Zack & Aunt Laura

Addison,her cousin Zack and her Aunt Laura; its the first family she meet besides her Grandma and Grandpa Jankovich. Later in the day she meet lots of family!

Water Park Fun

Here are some pictures from the spray park at the reunion. Addie liked the water, but it was a bit chilly on her back.

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!

Addie and Her Frog

Here's Addie and her new friend

Happy 4th of July

Ok -So we're alittle early. We had our friends Ben and Jenn and their son Alex over for dinner last night. And here some picture of the kids, in the 4th of July best.

Nothing new but being cute

Here are some new pictures! She is such a cutie:)

Sooo Strong

Here is Addie working on her neck muscles. My mom always wants to know if she is getting tummy time. Well, here is the proof. The last picture is her resting.. :)

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.

Look at Addie's new trick

I was checking in on her to see if she was sleeping and this is what I found..... She was sucking her thumb.

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.
