Cereal, Oh My!


We had Addison's 4 month check up last week. She weighs 15lbs, 7oz and is 25" long. She is growing and getting stronger every day! The doctor was very pleased with her growth, and overall health. We have introduced her to cereal in the last month, and when she is 5 months we can start to introduce fruits, vegetables and juice! Can't wait to see what kind of mess we can make with that!
Addison is very verbal, shrieking and 'growling'..and if you're lucky, and you work very hard at it, you can make her giggle. She hasn't rolled over yet, but she does try to sit up from a laying down position. It looks like she is doing baby crunches! Addi is getting to be a little nosey thing! She loves to check out her surroundings, especially if we are somewhere 'new' to her. She loves to watch t.v., especially cartoons. Her favorites are Handy Manny and The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We know this because Mommy & Daddy know the words to the opening songs!
We found out about 3 weeks ago that my job is transitioning my department, and 2 others to Houston. Which basically means 146 people are out of a job. My lasts day is scheduled to be July 2. I have already interviewed for a position to basically keep the job I have now. I would still work from home, and do all of the same things that I currently do, but my supervisors and the rest of my department would be in Houston TX. There are 18 positions available for this job, and quite a few people have applied for it. I actually should be hearing something today about that. And in the meantime I have another interview tomorrow for a different department with my same company. If neither of those work out, it looks like I'll be riding the unemployment train for a while until we figure out our next move. Not looking forward to losing my health insurance right now, especially with Addi having visits about every 2-3 months, and vaccinations on top of that..But we will do whatever is necessary. So keep your fingers crossed that something works out!

3 1/2 Months, really?!

I know it's been a while since our last post, sorry!
Addi is 3 1/2 months old now, I cannot believe it! The time really does fly by! She is getting bigger and more beautiful every day! We go back to the doctors in about 2 weeks for our 4 month appointment, and more shots! Not looking forward to that part, but I am anxious to see how much she has grown! I weighed her in the middle of February and she was 14 pounds then.
Addison has really been finding her voice in the last month or more..She loves to shriek for no apparent reason, her smile is contagious! I just love it! She has been getting better and better with her hand and eye coordination, and she will hold on to things like rattles when placed in her hand. We are still struggling with tummy time, but she is slowly getting better with it.
Addison got to meet her Uncle Michael (my brother) for the first time, when he came home from Iraq in the beginning of February. We have been spending as much time with him as possible while he is home. Unfortunately, he is leaving tomorrow to go back to his home base in Ft. Hood, Texas.
Our friend Cash William just turned 1 on February 20th! I can remember going to the hospital when he was born and I cannot believe it has been a year already!
We are getting Spring Fever, Jason can't wait to get out there and go fishing! I am looking forward to taking walks outside with Addi in her stroller.
Here are some recent photos:
