15 months?

So I started this post Thursday evening and thanks to the crazy spring weather I was forced to shut down my computer before the lightening did it for me...now it's Monday and I'm just getting back to it...

I can't believe it's been 15 months since our precious baby girl joined the family! What an amazing 15 months it's been too! Addison has grown so much and is starting to say a lot more words (although I'm probably the only person who can understand them) and is starting to become her own person. She is really into purses, babies and shoes, just like Emory. They have a lot of fun playing together. She is extremely opinionated and verbal just like Trinity. She is not afraid to ask for what she wants and demand it if she doesn't get it by asking politely.

We had her 15 month check up today and everything was perfect! The pediatrician was very proud of how well she is doing with her ability to communicate, move about and follow directions, not to mention knowing some of her body parts (nose, eye, ear, mouth, toes, feet, hand...I think that's all). Her stats from today are:

Weight: 23 lbs 1 oz (55th percentile)

length: 30" (45th percentile)

head: 19" (off the chart)

I'm still not sure where she's getting these proportions from, but we are all confident she will shoot up in the length at some point. Of course both of her sisters' heads are off the charts too, so I guess that's to be expected.

I took pictures of her with her best friend, "Mister Frog" today, something I haven't done for the past couple of months (I know, total slacker Mom).

Sorry to post three, I just liked them all so much I couldn't decide on just one to post.

Here are a few from earlier months to compare her to:

One month:

Four months:

Eight months:

Greg is training Addison to be his sports buddy. He had her sitting so still and watching the Stars with him, I'm sure she was so still because she loves hockey and not because of the fact she had just had three shots and no nap:) He did teach her to say "Dallas Stars" though. Of course it sounds more like, "Das Sa", but he'll take it!

I can't believe yet another month has come and gone! My baby girl is quickly turning into a toddler and before I know it she'll be a teenager...

Shootin some B-ball outside of the house

Addison has discovered our basketball hoop and we lowered it all the way for her to use. She and Greg sat outside this evening shootin hoops.

For those of you around my age, this post title should be said to the tune of Fresh Prince of Bellaire theme song. I liked really that show and it's theme song; I occasionally catch myself watching a re-run. That is one of the few theme songs I can still sing from beginning to end. I remember sitting at the dining room table for dinner and my sister and I would sing the whole song when the show would come on (of course we would leave our TV on even when we weren't in the room, so we were able to hear the show...sorry mom, the truth must come out eventually)...oh life before DVR! The stories we will have to tell our children...it's like walking up hill both ways on the ten mile trek to school in two feet of snow...

Wow, what a way to turn a post about my baby girl and her joys into a post about me and my memories...great mom, huh?

Nuggle time

This morning Trinity was feeling exceptionally affectionate with our dog, Halo, I walked in to Addison's room and saw them laying on the floor together, I couldn't resist the photo opp!

When Emory was little she would say "nuggle" instead of "snuggle" and that is one of the silly baby pronunciations we adopted from our girls...just in case you're wondering why the post is titled that way:)

When Gommy's in charge

Yesterday my mom very graciously drove all the way over to our house to watch the girls so Greg could go to a football game and I could get the girls to their dance pictures, one at a time. Trinity and I were gone when it was time for naps and Emory was exhausted! This is what we walked in to see on the floor of the living room:

Emory is usually the one who has a hard time falling asleep (even though she's always the first one awake in the mornings), so anyway you can get her to sleep in okay with me...even if it is on the floor of the living room! We are so grateful to have a Gommy in this family! She is always there when we need her and always makes sure the girls feel loved and special! What an amazing Mom/Grandmother!!!!! Thanks for giving up your Saturday Gommy the girls loved seeing you and Greg loved the game!
