Addison 3 Month photos

I'm finally getting around to posting some of our favorites from Addie's 3 month photo shoot. She will be 4 months old this Thursday! Tonight she rolled over and over for the first time. She had done it before on isolated occassions, but this afternoon she did it 5 or 6 times! She is holding herself up on her tummy with her back arched and hands on the floor too - she is also loving her new bounceroo - I have a feeling she'll be making her way around the house somehow soon!!

My sweet little boy

We've started putting Addison to bed around 8pm after her bath and spending a little time with Jacob to read books and get him to bed. The first night we did this, all 3 of us were in the kitchen and Jacob was staring at the baby monitor - he got really sad that the baby was not with us so we had to go check on the baby. When he saw that she was okay, we all went back to doing dishes. Then I noticed he was still staring at the baby monitor - I asked him what he was doing, and he turned around and had eyes full of tears. Real tears too, not the fake 4 year old tears to try to get his way - really, truly, sad boy. I said - Jacob, what is the matter?!?! He said, Mommy, I don't want the baby to sleep all by herself - she's gonna be scared... So, we got the baby and we all cuddled in the rocking chair together...

Here are some more pictures of my 2 sweet little angels from the past couple of weeks. I don't think we take enough photos, do you?

Our best attempt as some professional photos

We decided since we have the fancy new camera that we would try to do a photo shoot of our own. Some of these poses are similar to shots we have on the wall of Jacob at Addison's age. So, we turned them black and white and will frame them next to the ones we have of him. It was our family Valentine gift this year - we just need to get the frame. Also, most of the photos still need to be cropped...Let us know how you think we did!

Just some pictures we thought were cute...

Jeff's new camera

Jeff finally bought a new camera with money and gift cards he's been collecting for quite some time. It takes great pictures - here are some of a birthday party Jacob went to at a local gym.

Finally - new pics of the kids

These are all from January 2009. Addison is growing great and Jacob is really getting more and more comfortable in the big brother role. Little Addie is now really interacting more and smiling a lot! This part is so much fun! She will begin at her new babysitter this week as I go back to work full time. On Friday of this week, she will get her 2 month shots - can you believe she has already been here with us for 2 whole months?!

Christmas - Lane

After my parents left the day after Christmas, Jeff's parents, sister, and nephew came for Christmas too. They had a good time meeting the baby, and Jacob had a blast with Jerrod - finally someone was more interested in him than the new arrival! They played with their respective hand held video games, our new Wii, and tons of toys. After a few days, they were fighting like brothers! But, for the most part - they got along really well. The rest of the family went on some outings while I hibernated with Addison - they went to Chuck E Cheese, The George Bush Library (there was a space exhibit there), and to a really neat park with lots of Christmas lights. We had a great visit and are anxious to see everyone again when Addison can participate a little more!
