Baptism

Addie was Baptized in the Catholic Church on Saturday, October 13th, which was also her 6th month birthday. My parents are Addison's Godparents. There were many special people who came to the ceremony, including her paternal grandfather, Ron Smith.

Halloween Preview

Yep, this should do the trick to get lots of candy....

Rice Cereal anyone....

Addie has started solids, if you can call them that. We started with rice cereal. She has also added peas into her repertoire. I think avocado will be next since they are still in season.

Getting around

Here are a few pictures of Addie. She is scooting around and rolling all over the place. I put her on ablanket on the floor and when I went back in her room she had moved about 5 feet over the blanket...

Go Cubbies

My favorite cousins Mike and Jen got her a few Cubs outfits as a baby gift. She finally can wear them... She is soo cute:)

Yummy Toes

Addison has been doing this for a few days. She is soo funny.


She is working really hard to sit up. She can for a few minutes and then will topple over. She has her 6 month apt on October 19. Also her Catholic Baptism will be October 13th, which just happens to be her 6 month birthday.

Bear Video

On our way to the condo in Snowmass, we came upon a bear eating apples. It was probably less than a 1/4 mile from the condo.

1st Swing

Addie's first time on a swing. We were on our way to Aspen and stopped at a park. As you can tell we wrapped her up in my fleece so she would fit a bit better.

Pop-Pop and Addie reading

Both of my parents are avid readers. Here is my Dad and Addie reading.

That Grandma... Sure does spoil Addie

Here is Grandma, feeding Addie ICE CREAM!!! I tried to remain calm and realize that Grandmas do these kind of things. So I guess I can write in Addie's baby book that the first solid food she liked was ice cream!! I'm sure that will go over well with her docotr.

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.

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!
