Oh I love my "little" Addise...

We were at the doctor again this week for another round of immunizations. I think that marked at least 12 doctor appointments since we brought them home less than 3 months ago. Geesh... that's a lot of co-pays. Our pediatrician always makes time to see our kiddos, ask update questions, and do a well-child physical. LOVE.

As a part of the exam, they weighed our kids. Judah weighed 26 lbs. He's gained 1 pound/month since we got home, and has grown from the 1% to the 10% percentile. YEAH buddy! Addise on the other hand...also weighs 26 lbs!!!!!! She's moved from the 50% in weight to the 95% percentile!!! Let's just say that we had a good laugh and our doctor affirmed their growth.

Here's a few pictures of our walking Addise. She's fully walking everywhere all the time. I think she thinks she's the same age as her brother [why wouldn't she? she's the same weight!] so she's constantly trying to keep up with him.

It's really hard to get a good picture of her because she moves so fast. Proof?




If Addise spends all summer in dresses, I'd be perfectly ok with that.


All ready to go to work with mommy. LOVE LOVE LOVE this little one!

Addzilla's Coming!

Addise has been 2 or 3 steps for the past month, but just in the past few days has she become more prolific at her walking skills. I don't think she's started walking yet because she simply gets too excited and pleased with herself when she starts walking...and so do we. So when she takes a step or two she starts squeeling, smiling, and falls down. But on Sunday I grabbed my iPhone just to see if she might cooperate.

Cooperate she did! This is her longest walk to date!!



As for the name "Addzilla", she's such a big girl that Brian coined the term when she would start attacking Judah. They made a game out of it. Judah would giggle and play along, and the name stuck. Somehow it makes her awkward walking funnier knowing that her nickname is "ADDZILLA".

Addise in 21 Seconds

Our daughter is a HOOT! Her dramatic, expressive, full on personality make us laugh all day, and occasionally drives us mad. Daddy got this video of her a couple weeks ago. We couldn't stop laughing at how "Addise" these 21 seconds are...
