I swear my daughter gets cuter everyday! I am one of those mothers, I know. My sis-in-law and the kids left today and so we were taking some pics and got some great ones of her. She is definitely smiling in the two we took this morning. Tomorrow we are going to a photographer to get some professional pics taken. I am super excited. I will post the link to her pics as soon as she posts them.

An Addie smile caught on camera


I think I finally caught Addie smiling for the camera!!! You tell me what you think. She smiles bigger but as soon as I put the camera in front of her face she becomes so intrigued by it that she stops smiling.

Week 1 of Braggs visit

My sister-in-law, Tina came to visit with her three kids this week. Anna is the oldest at 11, then Amelia at 9 and lastly Isaiah is 9 months. Here are some of the pics that I have taken so far. Here is Anna pushing Isaiah around in a box from costco. It is amazing how expensive the really entertaining baby toys are!

starting a schedule with Addie


So I decided that one of the reasons that my little daughter might be so cranky is because I have her on no real schedule. My neighbor recommended this book "Babywise" that discusses the importance of creating a schedule of feeding, playing, sleeping to help the baby learn to sleep through the night. I would love to sleep through the night! I read the whole book and while I disagree with parts of it, it does seem to make sense and she has been doing pretty well with it (this is day 3, if you had even asked me yesterday i would have said it was crap!). The good news is that she has stopped fussing so much. Anyway, enough about that. Here is a super cute pic of her that I took today. I think she is looking more and more like Vic.

Uncle John and Aunt Leslie's visit





John and Leslie left yesterday morning and I think Addie "broke them in" with life with a baby. I just kind of threw them into it when I passed her off the first morning they were here. By the end, Leslie even changed a diaper!!! I know they were surprised by how much a baby can fuss, especially since Addie has been going through a growth spurt this past week. It was great to have them here and sad they are gone!
