Addison visits Mammy and Grandad in Oklahoma

Addison and I took a trip to Tulsa! She did so great on the plane. She met her Great Grammie and Great Grandad in Stillwater she even got an Eskimo Joes shirt but it had to be Orange, her Gran-Nana in Tulsa and her uncle Lander!! They really enjoyed having her there. She loved being held by Aunt Emily, Mammy, Grandad and Malyke, and when things got Fussy mammy came to the rescue with a warm bath. Grandad had lots of hugs and kisses for her, when he got to hold her that is. She experienced cold weather and she seemed to love it. We had lots of fun and can't wait to go back for Christmas.

Aunt Jen comes to visit

This past weekend Aunt Jen came over to visit from Tampa. Addison had such a ball. Saturday night we had Chris, Karen, Chad, Nicky and Gabe over. Addison got to eat cookie dough(not really), flirt with Gabe and stay up late. It was so fun for her that she slept til 8am! Mom and Dad had a fun time too. Sunday morning she had quality giggling time with Aunt Jen before we took her to Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival. After stopping crowds in her baby Bjorn, she ate in Italy and mom ate everywhere else. We learned that she doesn't like cabbage rolls or maybe the potato pancakes. It hopefully isn't the Cheddar Cheese soup from Canada cause that is mommy's favorite. Addison really enjoyed the weekend with her aunt Jen and can't wait to see her again.

BEElieve it or not

Adi is going to be a BEE as you can see for Halloween this year! I took her to Target and had her picture taken in her costume. She did so good. The photographer said she did really well for 3mo. She held herself up really good and we were able to get a few smiles and giggles in before the session was over. She is getting so big so fast. She now weighs just shy of 12lbs and is so long! I have already been planning what she will be for next year, maybe I will be adventurous and make the costume. And Maybe not!

Addison goes to Grandma Jan and Grandpa Ken's

Addison spent her first night away from Mom and Dad. I think it was harder on Mom than Addison. It was our 2nd Anniversary and we had Addison spend the night with her grandma Jan and grandpa Ken. I was very nervous but she did great. She slept from 11 to 7 (she doesn't do that for us), she ate great with not much puke after the fact and gave lots of advice and lots of smiles. They took her for a walk, bathed her in the sink, read to her, had tummy time with grandpa and more importantly loved on her. While it was good to have some time to ourselves and see some movies we were so excited to have our peanut back and I think it will be a while before we spend another night without her.

je m'appelle Addison

Well, Friday was Dress up day at the Richard's. I had been going through and putting away the 0-3 month clothes and getting out the 3-6 month clothes and came across this outfit and since the first cold front of the year had come making it 85 degrees I figured it was time to get out the winter apparel. We took her to dinner dressed up and everyone got a kick out of it. Our waiter said she looked like a "CEEETAHHH" All she needed was a cigarette to seal the deal. (on the french part not the Cheetah)

Bathtime at the Richard's

Bath time is Addison's favorite time of the day. First, she gets so excited that she pukes and then we undress her. I am in charge of washing and Daddy is in charge of the water. He likes to see if she will grab it. Note her strategic foot placement. She did that on her own, my modest little girl! We remember when she barely fit into the tub now she is almost to big. She used to hate being naked now she hates getting dressed.

Bedtime at the Richard's

The Blanket Sleeper Sac

Addison and Malyke

Nighttime at the Richard house is a routine. We give her a bath in the sink (her favorite), lotion her down (not her favorite), dress in PJ's, feed her and then read "goodnight moon" then it is down to bed. Addison just started sleeping in this very familiar position. Malyke sleeps this way to. When he would watch TV, be riding in the car or playing games he would stretch his arms over his head and lean back. It's how we used to know that he was sleepy. We hope that Addison is as easy to read.

Game Day at the Richard's

We are a house divided when it comes to college football! Keith is a Buckeye and I am a Sooner. So who Addison supports is up for grabs each week. Right now the two teams haven't been on at the same time so there is a change of clothes after each game to gear up for the next, I hope she doesn't get confused. My mom sent us little pink OU socks and at the start of the season she wore them and OU won, so I didn't wash them and each week they won. They were getting a little ratty so I think OU lost to Colorado so Addison could have her socks washed. They are Clean and on her feet today as we play Texas. Go Sooners!! Go Buckeyes!! No GO SOONERS!

Wow! We can't believe it has been almost 3 months!!! Addison is so big now. She weighs 9lbs 6oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. She is doing so well. She started Laughing this week. It is so cute. Now she giggles when she smiles. I can't wait to see what happens next.
