Addison's 4 month appointment and family update

Addison had her 4 month appointment on Friday June 1st. Granted, she was 4 1/2 months at the time... but oh well haha. Here are her stats...

Weight 13lbs 11.5oz (haha basically 14lbs) - 41%

Height 25 1/4 inches - 76%

Head 40cm - 16% (she has my small head :( poor thing)

Right now she is rolling over from her stomach to her back. When she is playing on her activity mat with the toys hanging above her - she gets REALLY mad that she can't pull them into her mouth. She grabs them and tries and tries and then starts screaming cause she can't get it. Dan and I laugh cause it really is so funny. She wants to put EVERYTHING in her mouth, including her toes! She loves eating her toes. She will laugh when we laugh. She has these really cute and girly squeals that we love to hear. She will smile when someone smiles at her. She loves kicking her legs really fast so it looks like she is running in the air. I tried starting her on rice cereal a few days ago and she was not ready. She kept gagging and spitting it out so we will wait a little longer! She is so cute and we are just loving every second with her!

Jaxon is being such a good big brother! He wants Addison to be with us all the time. He is always saying how cute she is. He loves giving her kisses and sharing his dinosaur toys with her. A funny thing Jaxon is saying now days is... "that's a great idea" and he says it to everything. Jax, lets eat lunch "ok, that’s a great idea". Jax, lets go play with your cars "that’s a great idea" lol - we think its pretty cute.

I just started a 2nd part time job. I am helping take care of 5 duplex's (basically doing what property managers do without that title since I am not licensed haha). So far its been a lot of work for me to learn what I am supposed to do and getting one of the units fixed up with new carpet and paint and getting them ready to be posted and rented... but its been good. Trying to juggle that and my other part time job with both kids has been a challenge and my poor house is suffering and not getting cleaned, but I will get it figured out and it will be great.

Dan is externing with a judge here in Lubbock this summer. He needs to complete 130 hours but can't start until his background check comes back (hopefully that won't take too long) so as soon as his hours have been completed, we will be going to Utah! We will be staying until at least August 14th because that is when my little sister Whitney is getting married!!!

Today Dan got asked to have a new calling. He will be sustained next week most likely so I can talk more about it then. The Stake President was the one who met with us and it was interesting to me that he wanted to meet with me first, then Dan, then us together. I didn't know that they did that. I think we met with the Stake President because the Bishop had to leave to do some medical stuff (our bishop is a doctor) because I think this calling is something that normally you would be called by your bishop for - but who knows. Anyway, I'm sure Dan is going to be sad to leave nursery HAHA - but the Lord obviously wants him in this calling.

Well that’s all our little family is up to right now.... until next time!

  1. Wow, she's getting so big! It will be funny to see the girls together, because Alia's head has always followed the highest percentile, so she'll be smaller, but her head might be the same size as Addison's which will look pretty funny! Haha. Glad to hear that everything else is going well, and of course we are WAY excited to see you guys this summer!
