Marissa is here.....one more friend for Addison

Addison has another friend that entered this world!! Our friends Brandi & Aaron welcome their little one Marissa on Thursday evening! She was a big surprise because she was not due until April 27th. Everyone is doing fine & both Mom & baby went home on Saturday. It was so funny to see Addison next to Marissa. Addison looks so big next to her....Marissa was born at 4lbs 9 oz ~ 18 inches. She is so tiny...& super cute!!! Brandi & Aaron asked me to come up & take some pictures rather than purchasing pictures from the hospitals. Here are a few of the pictures from Friday.

Addison found her thumb again.....it's so sweet at this age; but, not so much when she is 10. So, I'm hoping she doesn't continue to suck her thumb. We will see...

More pictures from last week......we stayed pretty busy last week; but, here are a few pictures...

I have to brag a minute on Addison.....for the past 2 nights, she has slept from 9:30 pm until 6am in the morning. I love it.....of course now that I have bragged, you will not have a good night tonight; but, let's hope not. She also has been falling asleep on her own at night.....we are not doing so well during the days; but, she is getting better about naps!! My girl is growing.....

Nick was feeding Addison the other night & she held her bottle....she is so smart!!! Well, truth is she did hold it up; but, it was an accident & it wasn't for long.....but long enough for me to get the camera out & take a picture.

Easter Time & More

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!! We had yet again another busy weekend. The first two pictures are from last week that I took that I wanted to include in the blog. This 1st picture is for Dad....he is always wanting to know how Kat is doing with Addison. As you can see from this picture that Kat & Addison get along.

This is just a random picture that I took last week that I thought was a sweet picture of Addison...of course I think all pictures are sweet of Addison.

I had a class reunion on Friday night that Nick and I attended. We had alot of fun & it was nice to get out! Grandma & Grandpa babysat Addison.....I know that Addison enjoyed her time with her grandparents! I think she was good for them!! Here is a picture of Nick & I before the reunion. I didn't take any pictures at the actual reunion....I can't wait to see some of the pictures that were taken by friends!


On Saturday.....Addison got to meet her Godmother for the first time. Chrissie & Shane came over & spent some time with Addison. We had such a nice time visiting with them...the only thing missing was their son Foster (he was back in Atlanta with his Dowie). Foster & Addison will get to meet in April. I can't wait for them to meet!!! Back to Chrissie & Shane being Godparents....as I said in the previous post about Michael & Chrissie being the Godparents; Addison is so blessed to have such wonderful people in her life!!! She is super blessed by having both couples in her life!!! Her is a picture of Chrissie & Shane with Addison.....Chrissie, thank you for accepting to be Addison's Godmother!!


Then on Sunday of course was Easter.....we got up early to make sure that we were at church a little early since Easter Sunday is always packed. It was our first Sunday back at church since Addison was born. It was nice to be back in church! Addison had such a cute dress thanks to Aunt Mel who got it for her. Thanks Aunt Mel for such a pretty dress & sweater!!! I can't believe that I didn't take a picture of just Addison on Sunday....I am going to dress her back up in the dress this weekend to take a few pictures of just her in the dress. She looked so pretty in her little purple flowered dress! Here are a few pictures from Easter Sunday....

This 1st picture (I can't believe that I am including it...not a great picture of me) Nick took of Addison & I sleeping Easter morning....Nick (the wonderful husband and Dad he is) got up earlier than us to start cooking the mac & cheese that he was making to take to my parents house. Most mornings, I pull Addison into bed with us around 7 or 8 am to have some snuggle time. I love it....she sleeps so soundly when she is close to us.

This is a picture of the Easter basket that the Easter Bunny left for Addison...notice he left candy for Mommy too!!

Addison with her great-grandmother on Easter....

Addison & GG hang out on Easter....

Addison also got snuggle time with Grandma too.....she loves her grandparents....

Addison with Grandpa....I think she already has him wrapped & she can't even talk yet!!! He loves her so much.....

Busy Weekend....

We had a busy weekend.....we had 2 wedding showers (a dual shower) on Saturday, a baby shower that I was not able to attend as well and 2 birthday parties on Sunday! Wow what a weekend....the bad thing (well not really a bad thing) is that between now & the beginning of May our weekends are pretty booked! The first set of pictures are random....

Here are two pictures from the wedding shower on Saturday. I can't believe that I didn't get any pictures of Addison from the shower. She was passed around & everyone enjoyed seeing her and holding her.

The birthday parties on Sunday were Addison's first birthday parties....she had a good time (she slept most of the time)....which really means Mommy & Daddy had a good time! We got a few pictures of Addison & Mason together. It was so cute....

The other birthday party was for the Swenson twins. They turned one actual the same day Addison was born so now Addison, Ethan & Brett all share the same birthday!!!

Addison also got a chance to meet Henry this weekend too....so we got a picture of them together.

I think that is it for now......hope everyone is doing well....till next time!!!
