Garrett's 1st Week

First bath at home

Garrett joined the family on May 6th at 39 weeks. It was just as easy of a delivery as Addison's. He was 7lbs 5oz and 21 inch's long. We have been very blessed Addy thinks Garrett is wonderful. She gives Garrett hugs every morning and tells him she loves him. He was back up to birth weight by Monday at the doctors appointment. They said that I could let him sleep for 5 hours at night which was a blessing to mom and dad. He is getting feed at 10pm and waking at 1-2am and not again till 6-7am. I love him. We have been extremely lucky and blessed with two beautiful and healthy children but we are officially done.

Easter Egg Hunt

The pictures are out of order but she just took her hands away from her eyes from playing hide and seek.

Addy has started to learn how to play hide and seek. She is hiding her eyes (can't you tell).

One more picture of her and her pal Keller searching for eggs.

Easter Egg Hunt

Addy thought the Easter Egg Hunt was wonderful. She immediately ran out and started grabbing the eggs. I still can not believe how big she is getting everyday.

She touched the Easter bunny. We are making progress from Christmas since she would not even touch Santa.

A web site said the other day that the average words that a 22 month old child says is 20. She picks up in a day probably 4 new words. I would think that her vocabulary is in the hundreds. She says 3-4 word sentences. She talks as much as Brandt and I do. I am sure that she gets this from me not Brandt. She sings 4 or 5 songs by herself. I want this to slow down. I absolutely love this age.

Continued 1st haircut and playing at the Avenue

I wish I knew if she thought these statues were real. She loves playing with them.
Papaw and Meme visited this weekend. We had a great time visiting with them. She wakes up every morning asking to see Papaw and Meme. We wish we could live near everyone.

Brandt and I celebrate our 3rd Anniversary this week. I have been pregnant for 2 of them. I am looking forward to next year when we can really go out and celebrate . It is hard to believe that we are about to be the parents of two children. These 3 years have flown by. I would do it all again. We are so blessed with such a wonderful, happy, healthy child. We just pray that this little boy is just as sweet. She is going to be hard to beat.

Addison's 1st haircut and playing at the Avenue

It is so funny everytime we see these statues I guess she thinks they are real. She will bend down to look at them and pets them like a real dog.

Addy's 1st haircut. She did not like sitting in the chair. I was doing everything to distract her while she got her hair cut. She brushed my hair and watched TV. She just needed a little taken off the back. They did a great job.

Addison playing in the snow

It snowed last friday, when she got up from her nap I showed her the snow. Her first reaction was snow with bent knees and a big wow. Then she said coat, boots, and outside; she is so funny. She loved the snow.

Her little hands and nose were freezing when we tried to carry her in kicking and screaming. Kids have no concept of cold. She was in the bath tub tonight and told me that she needed to poop. I put her up on the potty and she went poop and pee. She was so excited and mommy was so excited also. She is really talking in sentences now. Addison looked at me last night and said "I want milk" and then tonight "I want grapes". I love that she is able to start telling me things. This age is wonderful. She is so cute and interactive. I love being her mommy.

90th Birthday Trip to Dallas, TX

Brandt's whole family

She loved to sit at the piano and play. She thought it was great.

Brandt's Grandfather turned 90 this past weekend. I guess that I married into good genes if nothing else. He is doing excepectional for 90 he gets around like he is 70. Brandt's cousin PJ was able to fly in from Virginia also. We had a great time staying at his aunt and uncle house. The surprise party went really well. The car ride and the plane ride were the worst. The plane was trip was so bad that I am refusing to get on a plane for the rest of the year. We got on the plane to come home at 3pm off the plane at 4pm back on at 4:30 then sat on the runway till 8:30. We landed at the wonderful time of 10:30 got in bed at 12:30 and up for work at 5am. I love air travel.

Addy and I had decided to fly in a day early to spend some time with my friend Colin and her boys. They had been sick so Addy and I had a girls only day and night in a swanky hotel that Daddy set his girls up in. We played at the mall next door to the hotel at there indoor play area. We ate dinner and watched the ice skaters in the mall ice skating rink. Addy got to take the longest bath ever with the water running the whole time (her favorite thing).
