Five months old--so big!

I can't believe it has already been five months since Addison was born!

Devouring a book




Warmer weather!

We celebrated President's Day and the warmer temperatures by taking the new stroller out for a spin. We enjoyed the melting snow at Wild Acres Park.

Although some of us enjoyed our toys more than the scenery...

Aaron snapped this picture of Addison while I was at work. Imagine my surprise at the length of my little girl's tongue when I opened my email that day!

Visit from Papa and Grandmary

Papa and Grandmary visited over the weekend. Addison really enjoyed the fresh energy and enthusiasm!

Happy Valentine's Day

Addison is certainly the cutest valentine I've ever seen!

Snow Day

Addison had her first snow day on Tuesday (although I don't think she was really hoping that day care would be cancelled). She played outside in the snow for about five minutes. We hope that by the next snowfall, we can get her sledding!

Looking at all the snow that had fallen with Mom.

So tired after playing in the snow!

Reaching for those toes--Addison can't quite sit up yet, but she is working on sitting up straight when we sit her up. She really likes the change in perspective!

Bathing beauty

When we first brought Addison home from the hospital, she didn't like getting a bath very much.

Here is Addie getting dried off after her first bath alongside the kitchen sink. She isn't very happy.

Thankfully, things have changed. Since that first time, Addison has learned to love the water.

Addison now loves to kick her feet in the water and splash Daddy as he gives her a bath. She is pretty comfortable now in her foam bath boat and likes her firefighter rubber ducky.

Pretty baby

Addie is all smiles while playing on the floor Saturday night.

All dressed up (in several layers--it's cold outside!) for church on Sunday.

New toys

Addison has been busy playing with her new toys.


Addison playing with her new activity gym, which she got for her 4 month birthday. It will later turn into a tunnel she can crawl through.

Addison reading her favorite book, Quack Says the Duck.

Addison enjoying the Exersaucer toy she is borrowing from her friend Colin. She LOVES this thing! She is already pretty good about moving herself around in the center so she can reach the different toys. The music and lights keep her attention, of course. Eventually she will figure out that bouncing up and down will move some of the other toys which right now are pretty still.

Cutie pie!

Oftentimes I cannot resist dressing Addison in the cutest clothes I can find. I'm sure she would rather I buy her more toys than pretty clothes, but so far she hasn't protested too much. Here she is around New Year's, looking especially cute--and you can tell from that smile that she knows it.

These pictures were taken by Kate's friend Asia the day after Addison was born. Asia was sent to the hospital to get pictures of the new baby for all the library staff!

Welcome to the blog!

As promised, we are finally getting around to creating and updating a blog online where our friends and families can view pictures of Addison (and some of Aaron and Kate thrown in, too). The new year holds the promise of many new things to come!
