Addie is 2 months old, February 17th



I went to the doctor's office just to get some measurements to fill her baby book.

Height: 24 in
Weight: 13 lbs 13 oz

Joe keeps saying everyday that she feels taller and heavier. And I agree! She seems to have a lot of growth spurts. It just blows my mind because my manager's baby is 6 months ahead of her, and is 15 lbs.....

Some milestones are:

  • She can hold her head up to 90 degrees. She is doing better with tummy time, some of the time. We really try to help her get more time by spending 10 mins before eating. This way she doesn't get so worn out, but gets the exercise in.
  • She squaks and squeals all of the time. One morning I went in, thinking she was crying, and she had a big smile on her face and was chatting with her "angel friends". She did that for 30 mins. By the time I thought to get a video of her, she was done. That seems to be the story! My favorite times with her are in the mornings after she eats. She is so energized and has so much to tell me. I enjoy our morning talks and giggle time.
  • She is mimicking our expressions, especially daddy's. She loves to watch him move his tongue and concentrates on moving hers too. She is so fun to watch.
  • She is giggling. Just a short giggle that you can barely catch, but it's there. She loves doing "Head and Shoulders", especially when we get to touching her nose. She will just erupt into smiles and short giggles.
  • She is able to roll from her tummy to her back, which we are excited about. 
  • She is able to hold a rattle for a few minutes. She needs some help gripping it, but she is learning.
  • She went to her first Sunday this week. I really wanted to wait until March before I took her to church because of all the colds going around. But I was feeling ansy and wanted to just test Sacrament. She was so good, I was so shocked. I was expecting to have to walk out all of the time, but I didn't have to until the middle of Sunday School. She loved lying on her back on the bench. I think she loved the Spirit that was there and the hymns that were sung. We went to Primary, and she slept through most of it. I have been called as the Primary Secretary, which will be interesting. I will be honest, I am dreading going to meetings and being so busy, especially when I start back to work....
  • She is enjoying a book that Aunt Stephanie gave her, Sesame's "Bubbles, bubbles". It's the only book that I can keep her attention throughout the whole thing. Once again, it talks about body parts and she enjoys that the most. 
  • She is on a schedule now, which makes my life so much easier. It still varies a bit, but it is generally the same. And we have incorporated a bath each night. It seems to calm her down for bedtime and gets all the exercise she enjoys. 


Playing with "Penelope" the puppy Grandma Hebdon bought her for her baby shower. So cute, small, and fluffy!


Happy Valentine's Day!! 

Daddy bought mommy tulips and Addie lilies for Valentine's day. They were so pretty and fragrant!

An outfit Joe's Cousin sent us, a Zebra. It keeps her nice and warm for our walks outside.
