Another Month Gone!


This is a little overdue... but 5 months already! Seriously? I have no idea where the time has gone. This little girl is growing so fast! We took her in to the doctor on the 7th of November and she weighed 16 lbs 14 oz! Which means that in 22 days she gained 14 oz. I have no idea how she is adding to her weight... oh wait, maybe it's the fact that she eats almost allll day long! haha
~She loves her rice cereal! When I feed her she always dives for the spoon and I cannot get the next spoonful in her mouth quick enough. She is eating more and more of it.
~Addy loves to give kisses! They are the sweet open mouth kisses... but surprisingly not slobbery! I love, love, love them!
~She has started reaching for ME! One of the best feelings!
~Addy is now a champion roller. She rolls EVERYWHERE! Before, I couldn't wait for her to roll over... now I am wishing she would have waited a little longer. haha
~She loves to stand. At work we have a toy that she holds onto and plays with while standing there on her own. (I sit behind her of course, just in case.)
~Addelyn is a social butterfly! She smiles at everyone! If someone is talking she will smile at them! (they don't even have to be looking at her or talking to her specifically.)
She is changing sooo quickly, I cannot believe it. I love being a mom and am so glad that she is such a good, chill baby!

Dipping Chocolates

Tyler's grandma has been dipping chocolates for over 50 years! This weekend his mom and sister came into town to spend a weekend up to their elbows in chocolate! It's nice for us that Grandma Oldroyd and Aunt Jan live close, so we were able to join in the fun. We had blast! I learned how to dip and think I am getting better at it! It was Tess' first time as well. Someone has to carry on the tradition!
We made sooo many chocolates! I will try to list them... but am sure I will forget something.

~Chocolate covered caramels
~Chocolate covered gummi bears
~Mint Patties (kind of like Yorks)
~Almond Rocha
~Chocolate covered cherries
~Peanut butter balls... kind of like Reeses (my fav.)
~Peanut Brittle
~Cashew Clusters

Beee Happy!

Happy Halloween! This year for Halloween we decided to go out in our costumes. We went bowling with a bunch of friends and then out to eat. We had a blast! Addy and I were bees (Addy was way cuter... of course) and Tyler was a bee keeper!


Our little bumblebee was so cute! Her costume even had a little stinger!
