We had our monthly photo shoot with our girl this week! We can hardly believe she's FIVE months old?!?!?

We love you sweet girl!

Happy Birthday Addison: 5 months

Sweet Addison Kate,

Today is July 2, 2013 and you are 5 months old. Technically you are 21 weeks and 3 days, but I was told that I needed to start counting your birthday by using the 2nd day of each month instead of weeks since your birth date. This little fact is driving your OCD Mommy crazy...but I'm trying my best to go with the flow :)

Nevertheless, here are some of the highlights we've experienced with you this month...

You have your first tooth! It is on the bottom and on the left. Bless your heart...you are normally happy and content ALL THE TIME, but this tooth has been giving you a rough time and you've been so fussy. Mommy talked with the doctor this week and hopefully we've found something to make you feel better.

We still love showing you off and enjoy taking you everywhere we go. You've gone to Atlantic Beach, Mommy's school, Ponderville, D-ma's house, restaurants and many many other places. The most popular comment we get when someone meets you for the first time is...Addi Kate is SO big! You probably weigh about 17 pounds now, but what everyone notices is your height. Daddy and I think you are going to be one tall little lady! 

You have also started to crawl. You haven't really moved forward or backward, but you've learned how to rotate around so you can see your toys or anyone that is talking to you. Here is a little video of you turning around...I just love it!


Every single day with you is a dream come true.

We love you more than the world Addison Kate!

Happy 5 Month Birthday!

American Girl...

Addison Kate received her first "real" doll this past weekend. Her great-grandparents sent this sweet little gift...

Addi loves her new doll!!!

Addi Kate Updates...

Our girl is just a bundle of happiness! From the moment she wakes up till the time she goes to bed, she is just so much fun, full of giggles, and brings us the most indescribable joy.

Here are a few Addi Kate Updates...

Addi...you are our sunshine!

Your belly laughs are the sweetest sound!

You have the best personality and your facial expressions keep us laughing.

You are the love of our lives!

We love you more than the world sweet girl!

Addi Giggles...

Here is a little clip of our sweet angel giggling. It is the most PRECIOUS sound we've ever heard :)

And yes, that is Mommy making the silly sounds!

First Boat Ride...

Addi Kate had another FIRST...her first boat ride!! We took some of our family out on the boat to celebrate D-ma's birthday. The weather was perfect, the water was great, but Addi wasn't too sure of her experience. I honestly think the life jacket she wore was the main problem...it was a little too tight and not all that comfortable. Here she is with Pops right before we got on the boat...

And here she is in her car seat ready for departure!!

We docked at a local restaurant and had lunch...and of course took a few family photos...

Our family of THREE on our first boat ride!!!

We had such a great time and are so lucky we could spend this FIRST with our extended family.

FYI...on our next boat trip Addi will be sporting a little bigger life jacket :)

Pool Time...

Addi experienced her first pool day this past weekend!

She got all dolled up in her swimsuit from D-ma...

Then it was pool time...

We were so glad that she liked the pool especially because the water was a little cooler than her baths.

But it looks like our little beach baby is a pool baby too!

Daddy enjoyed pool time too...

He took our little girl on a tour of the pool in her new float...

And she even got a ride on Daddy's shoulders...

What a great day of pool time...

Does life get any better?
