We Have a Little Chunk on Our Hands!

Addelyn had her 2 month doctor appointment yesterday. She weighs a whopping 14 lbs and 1 oz! And she is 25 inches long. These combined put her in the 95th %ile. She has so many fat rolls and she's just too cute!
Addy is getting so much more interactive. She smiles lots and talks back to us. It's pretty darn cute! One of my favorite things is when I get up in the night or morning to feed her I turn on the hall light and she instantly stops crying. When I go to pick her up from her crib she gives me a big smile. It just melts my heart. I guess there are some positive things about getting up at 5:30 to feed her.
On Saturday night Addy slept from 11pm to 9:30am! Amazing! I was actually awake before she was, which never happens! I need to find out what I did that made her sleep that long and keep doing it!
Addy definitely has a favorite toy! She will spend hours on this playmat that I got off craigslist for $10! New these things are like $65, so I was so happy when I found it. I didn't think that she would love it as much as she does, but she really loves it. I was surprised when she would swat at the little toys then smile and talk... I thought she might be too young still, but she's getting so big! Addelyn is also starting to love looking in the mirror at herself. Another thing that she is learning to like is her bumbo (it's a soft chair that helps them sit up). I can put her in it on the counter when I do the dishes and get ready in the morning and she just watches me. She also loves her swing more and more. I am glad that she will entertain herself for awhile so I can get some things done during the day.
She is such a good baby and I love her to pieces!

Hermi Town Rodeo

Friday was Tyler's last day of school for six whole weeks! We are so excited to have him home with us! We celebrated by taking a trip to Hermiston, with our good friends the Smiths, for the famous Pro Circuit Rodeo. We had a blast!
Saturday morning was a cutest baby contest at the fair... of course we had to enter Miss Addelyn. There were about 130 babies there from Umatilla County. Addy was one of 15 finalists out of the 130+ babies. She got a cute pair of sunglasses for a prize. She was so good and cute for the judges! The men were out golfing during this activity. :)After a nap and some relaxing at home we headed back to the fair! We rode a few rides and looked at the neat things! We had some delicious fair food including: deep fried cinnamon rolls (sooo good!), frozen strawberry lemonade, elephant ears, and kettle corn! Yum!
We had such a great weekend and were so glad that the Smiths were able to join in the fun! Tyler's parents absolutely loved Spencer! What's not to love about this face?!


















And they of course loved having their granddaughter around. She was all smiles and talk for them... some of the time! Again... what's not to love about this face?! (This was Addy after she had her hair in a pony tail all day! ... nice faux hawk!)


















Thanks Mom and Dad for being such great hosts and hanging out with us!

My Baby Girl is Two Months Old!

I can't believe that Addy is now 2 months old, as of yesterday! The time has gone SO extremely fast. It seems to go 5 times as fast now that I am not pregnant and have a new baby. I love being able to stay home with Addelyn. She is so fun to watch and talk to. Addy has grown and learned so much in these past two months. She is good at holding her head up, using her leg muscles to stand on my lap, smiling, kicking her legs, and talking. Her favorite thing is definitely still sleeping! She is actually starting to really like her swing! She will stay in it longer than just a 1/2 hour now. On Saturday she was awake maybe a total of 2 hours in 24 hours time. Silly girl! Addy has also started sleeping longer at night!! The past two nights she has slept for 7 1/2 hours or more. I am so glad. I just hope it's not a phase and she decides to keep it up.
Here are a few videos that I took the other night of her being oh so cute! I am so excited for our families to see her in these next couple of weeks!




Some mornings Tyler gets Addy up while he is getting ready for school so I can sleep a little bit longer. I love that he does this! A lot of times she will smile and talk to him like she does in this video. When he brings her to me, so he can leave for school, he has the hardest time leaving his little girl! It is pretty cute how he says he just wants to stay home with her! He is such a good daddy and his little girl loves him so much!

Oregon=U-Pick Farms

Saturday could have been extremely boring as Tyler went up to the school at 9 am. However, a few of us wives, of diligent dental student husbands, decided to take this opportunity to pick some fresh berries! Yummy!! We drove out to Hillsboro to a U-Pick Farm that is 99 cents a pound for all their berries. Can't beat that price! It is blueberry season and there was a plethora even though we saw several people with a million buckets full. I got a half a bucket... but now I'm wishing I would have picked more. It was just kind of hard with Addy on my front. We ate a few raspberries that were still left... but there weren't quite enough to pick and keep for a purpose other than eating.

















We had a great time picking berries with our friends and Addelyn was just as good as ever. Slept the whole time of course!
On our back from picking berries we stopped and got lunch for our husbands and took it up to the school so we could eat with them. I think appreciated it and it was fun to see them and give them a break from their crowns.
