Rolling over and Laughing out loud!

Well, Addison is finally rolling over pretty much every time she's on her back now. When I turn around, she's on her stomach! She's done it a few times before, but never more than once or twice in a row in the same day. It's funny how random it is when they decide they want to do things. She was laying in the floor the other night and rolled right over. Getting over her arm was giving her trouble before, but she finally she figured out to push a little harder:) The only problem with this is she hates being on her tummy! She hasn't figured out how to put her arms underneath and push up. She flies like superman, but also looks like a penguin sliding on her belly. It is so funny to watch.



When she gets tired of holding herself up, she sometimes falls asleep!:)






She's also started laughing out loud. She's done this before too, but now does it a lot. It's certain people that really get her going...my dad and my aunt Tita. They don't have to do much and she'll just start chuckling continuously. Scott and I can also get her going during bath time, which she loves. My mom now calls her the "giggle box". I've tried getting her on video, but she always stops once the camera is on her. Oh, well...I will get her one of these days.

Here are a few more pics from the week:

Our little Addie is getting so big!!!

 

Just wanted to show a few pics of Addie that were taken a few days ago. She's pretty much over her sickness and back to normal...thank goodness!. She has been really sick w/RSV and that's a scary thing. She's feeling lots better. We've been enjoying our 4day weekend. On our "cold day" off, we caught up on some much needed sleep!

She continues to reach for things, like her Daddy's nose! She jabbers now constantly! When she wakes up til time for bed. Today, Scott was talking to her while she was jabbering and he said, say "DaDa". Well, as she continued to talk, it sounded so much like she said DaDa. We looked at each other like did she just say what I thought she said??? I know she's only 4 & half mths, but it couldn't have been any clearer. Anywho, thought that was pretty funny. Still can't get her to roll over anymore, but I know it will come soon enough. She doesn't like being on her tummy very much so it's hard getting her to push up too. Guess I'm just rushing things. We haven't been having any luck with feeding her vegetables lately, but finally she is taking to them. She still doesn't like the cereal fed by spoon. I'm still having to put it in her bottle. I've tried oatmeal and mixing it w/fruits~doesn't work either. Oh, well. Any suggestions???

Joined Facebook

Ok. Like I'm not on this thing enough...I had to go and join something else~Facebook!. I see a few of you are on there too. Make sure to add me as a friend if u haven't already. This is just another place for me to show off Addison!

P.S. Poor thang...She's been very sick for the past few days. Just started back work on Monday and had to be out for two days. You'll do anything for your kids. Oh, well...just her way of saying she's not ready for me to leave her:) Anyway, she was diagnosed with RSV which is a respiratory virus. She has been on meds. and is A LOT better. Thanks 1st grade teachers for helping me out while I've been gone! Hopefully, I can get back to a routine starting Monday.

4 months check-up /growing strong & doing better than ever!

Addison had a great check-up on Tuesday. She got more shots, but only cried for a minute. The doctor said she looked great and was getting very strong. She weighed 14lbs,14ozs and was 25.25in long. He said we could start her on solids/veggies twice a day. We started her w/carrots a couple of days ago and she seems to really like them. She has to take a little of her bottle first because she gets very upset and hungry. We're gonna continue cereal mixed w/a little fruit in the mornings. Another thing he told us was she could come off of her Zantac soon and that we could try her with a CHEAPER sensitive formula. We were really glad to hear that!!! We are going to try her with the foods then change the formula in a few days.



She has started doings LOTS of new things...she has been sleeping in her crib and now officially sleeps through the night (anywhere from 7:30-8:30pm to 6:30-8:30am)~she rolled over a few times already and really likes grabbing her feet~she sits up in things with out bobbing her head~she reaches out and plays w/things~she sits and listens to books being read and looks at the pictures~today she even held her bottle by herself:) Here are a few pictures from the past few days.
